Alpo

Pat, two questions. Did you put an original grip frame on the new vaquero because you prefer the xr3 red grip to the xr3 grip? That 10-7 - Hong Kong police?

I'm afraid so. Some people more than others.

This is true. You can go to some place like Applebee's or TGI Fridays or the Olive Garden. They all three are restaurants, making their money from selling food. They all three have a license to dispense hard liquor for consumption on the premises. And they all three have a specific section set aside in their establishment that is "the bar". And you can sit at your table in the restaurant and order a drink, but you cannot go in the bar area while you are carrying. You are correct. It is not illegal to drink while carrying however it is illegal to use the gun while you are under the influence. "Using the gun", under that statute, means shooting it or having it in your hand while it is loaded. https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2020/0790.151 I could not, however, find anywhere where it specified what "under the influence of alcohol" meant. I presume they would give you a breathalyzer the same as if you were suspected of driving under the influence. I further presume that it is the same blood alcohol level. But I couldn't find that written down. It does save itSAY THAT that prohibition does not apply for self-defense. So if you are knee-walking commode-hugging drunk, when the guy steps in front of you with a knife and wants your money, and you blow him away, it was legal.

Florida does not allow you to carry into a bar. At first I thought that meant you could not carry into a place that sold liquor for consumption on the premises. Go to a fancy restaurant that serves wine with your meal and you couldn't carry. So I wrote to Tallahassee and asked them. And I also asked if that meant you could not carry it to a professional ball game because they sell beer for consumption in the stands. They replied that a bar was specifically a place that made its money from selling booze, and was different from a restaurant that happened to sell liquor. But I still couldn't go to the ball game because it's illegal to carry a gun at a professional sporting event in Florida. I mentioned this because I noticed there's no prohibition against carrying to a Saints game.

The law specifies 11 different places where you cannot carry. >N. No concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following: (1) A law enforcement office, station, or building. (2) A detention facility, prison, or jail. (3) A courthouse or courtroom, provided that a judge may carry such a weapon in his own courtroom. (4) A polling place. (5) A municipal building or other public building or structure, only if the building or structure is utilized as the meeting place of the governing authority of a political subdivision. (6) The state capitol building. (7) Any portion of an airport facility where the carrying of firearms is prohibited under federal law, except that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, if the firearm is encased for shipment, for the purpose of checking such firearm as lawful baggage. (8) Any church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship, eligible for qualification as a tax-exempt organization under 26 U.S.C. 501, unless authorized by the person who has authority over the administration of the church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship. (9) A parade or demonstration for which a permit is issued by a governmental entity. (10) Any portion of the permitted area of an establishment that has been granted a Class A-General retail permit, as defined in Part II of Chapter 1 or Part II of Chapter 2 of Title 26 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. (11) Any school, school campus, or school bus as defined in R.S. 14:95.6.< I suppose you could argue that you were not "in" the parade since you were not out walking in the street with the bands or on a float, but you were just on the sidewalk watching it. And you could argue that in the courtroom during your trial. But I bet you would still go spend the night in the gray bar hotel.

A prime example of stupidity was the Peanuts Thanksgiving show. Woodstock and his friends were eating turkey, and people at the network were freaking because it was "birds eating a bird!! Oh my Gawd!! Cannibalism!!!!!" I've always been fairly certain that raptors - eagles, hawks, owls - eat other birds if they can catch 'em. Just like big snakes eat little snakes, and big fish eat little fish - big meat-eating birds eat little birds. Cannibalism. Gimme a break.

Well, according to the National Park service, they don't. They don't pee by lifting their leg on a bush like a dog. https://www.nps.gov/katm/learn/photosmultimedia/brown-bear-frequently-asked-questions.htm#24 Said you can tell boy bears from girl bears by watching them pee. Boys pee straight down in front of them and girls pee behind them. There's a photo of a girl bear peeing, but I hesitate to post it here. But the grizzly bear in the movie lifting his leg is apparently nonsense.

I would say on the rear of the truck.

20 years or so back I started putting the lid down to keep Big Brown Dog from drinking out of it. Now it's a habit. My toilet, someone else's toilet. Doesn't matter. I put the lid down, not just the seat. And it annoys me when I have company, and I go in the bathroom and find out that they've left the lid up. I wonder if my company had been raised on a farm, and had learned all their life to leave gates the way they found them (if it's open, leave it open, but if it's closed, close it back), since when they got there the lid was down, when they finished they would put it back down?

We've all heard "does a bear poop in the woods?" This is a screenshot from the movie Wolverine. How does a bear pee in the woods? This CGI bear lifted his leg on that tree like he was a dog. Do they really do that?

I've been saying similar for years. If I was a woman I would be ashamed to admit that I was either too stupid to look and see if the seat was down, or too stupid to know how to lower the seat, and therefore I had to depend on the guy to always put the seat down.

I bet he wouldn't turn his nose up at Hawaiian pizza right now.

Steve still has his dinosaurs. The beginning part about Jonah has nothing to do with Steve. God is talking to Stacy, his secretary.

When otto changes what I say, and I go back and edit, I used to strike through his attempts and correct it. Then the website was updated and you could no longer strike through with an Android phone. Computers yes. Apple phones, maybe, I don't know. But you can't do it with Android. So I have got into the habit of going right up next to his oops and putting what I actually said in uppercase. I said emu, otto wrote name you, and I did my correction. I know it probably confuses some people but I feel better. Burning help otto korrik!!!

In case you couldn't figure it out, Steve is the angel that was assigned to design animals. Sometimes God doesn't approve of his choices.
