Let's see, according the NSSF (Firearms Industry and Trade Association) there were 15,900,000 firearms sold through licensed dealers in 2023. Average the 68,000 supposed guns sold by "unlicensed" dealers over the five years into an approximate yearly number, that makes it approximately 13,600 sold per year.
That's .085% of all guns sold in 2024 were sold by "unlicensed" dealers....so what is the Sentinel Record's point again?

It's not the rainy season in Florida yet. That's when all the heads go out into the cow pastures to either get mushrooms or their ass shot with salt rock...sometimes both.

Or a sink.
I did some electrical work at a middle aged lady's mansion years ago. The plumbers had laid a new sewer line to the street to replace the old terra cotta lines. The General Contractor ordered a "Porta Potty" just for the lady while they were tying in the line with the County. On the day of tie in, I was talking to the GC when she came out of the temp restroom and declared "There's no water to the sink, they put the soap in there but there's no water." I tried not to laugh but I couldn't help it. She didn't think it was funny.

Gee, Havent seen the sun for 3 days LOL still storming here , and I am laughing at all the local people that made it a big deal that they find glasses.
Because well cloudy again today
Internet was suppose to give people access to info , all it did is make them post stupid questions
Turned on the tv to see totality. They show it for a few seconds and then a minute of some idiot telling us how beautiful it is. Oh well, next one is due in 2045 and should intersect my location with totality.

Yeah - you gotta hate people and groups exercising that pesky First Admendment freedom...
Let's destroy their property and silence their free speech because we don't agree with it.
And then we should get highly indignant when they attempt to do the exact same thing to us.
Freedom is not solely for speech and behaviors you agree with.
Freedom is ugly - it is rife with offensive images, words and behaviors.
Freedom is covered with sharp, jagged edges that can cut and tear in both directions.
It is not obligated to nor limited by your feelings; and while some may choose "in polite society" to curtail their own freedoms - there is no reasonable expectation that everyone will be sanitized for your protection.
Freedom is either freedom "for all" or it doesn't exist.
Since when did the UN turn into a group?

Many civilizations, and people, over the years have been manipulated through the knowledge and use of astronomical events.
Since it'll only be 60% coverage here, I'll take a quick peek, look at the shadows on the driveway and throw my Apocalypto DVD in and watch that. I thought that was an excellent movie.

I've seen at least two vehicles in the same position as the one in the picture, while humorous, they weren't the best I've witnessed. There used to be a launch site that had a website to view all of the stupid stuff people would do.
These are my favorites even though they took place before or after launching.
#1 - A guy sitting on an old, wooden dock that deck level was about 4" above the water. Put his skies on, sat on the dock and told the driver to "go for it"...he did. He didn't make it far and when he got out of the water, the wood slivers that stuck out of his buttocks were plain to see.
#2 - Didn't even happen at a dock, happened at a small apartment complex I lived at. He had one of those high-top, custom vans, owned a Checkmark speed boat and would park where ever he wanted to regardless of assigned spaces. On occasional weekends, he would hook up the boat trailer to his van at night and park behind a group of cars until morning.
One morning I went out to witness him taking off with his boat. Trailer immediately came off the hitch because it wasn't locked down, lower assembly/prop slams the ground. He hears it...stomps the brake....BLAM goes the trailer hitch into the custom painted rear door....he nails the gas....boat motor hits the ground again, SMASH....he stomps the brake again...BLAM goes the trailer hitch into the other custom painted rear door. At this point he stopped and got out cussing up a storm
At this point, I was laughing so hard that I went back inside before a fight started.
He moved out shortly after but I remember that vividly even though it was 1982 and the entire episode only took about 15 seconds or so.

There is a series of girls' books. The lady wrote the series for at least 30 years. The series takes place in a British boarding school for girls. The Chalet School.
This particular book is called A CHALET GIRL FROM KENYA. Published in 1955.
When I saw the title, I thought they were going to have a black girl in the school. Bring a black girl into a lily-white English boarding school. That might be interesting. But that's not what was going on.
A British girl's family lived in British East Africa, and with the Mau Mau uprising, thought it would be best to get their daughter out of the country, so they sent her to the boarding school.
They had a similar confusion on a Disney movie. It was called The Color of Friendship. A black family in (if memory serves) Washington DC is going to host an exchange student from Africa. They naturally think they're going to get a black kid.
And they get this pretty little white girl from South Africa.
Notice the colors in the title? Kinds of explains things.

I live in spread sheets.
One of them has 346 places to live in the lower 48.Among many data points, I track the cost of living by median house price, property tax rate, and state income tax rates.
I have a "weighted" column that sums these three data points.
NV is the easy winner here.
Yerington, Winnemucca, Elko, Washoe Valley, Dayton, Carson City, Gardnerville, Reno, Fallon, Johnson Lane and Minden.
The downside is the eternal big wind that blows in the Carson Valley.
Maryville TN (home of The Widder) is #5.
Prescott, AZ is #36, and Prescott Valley is #37.
Boise, ID (my home town) is #54.
I filter out Blue states, and those places with weather I don't want.
I further filter out by Crime, Air & Water Quality, and Weather.All places are only one or two election cycles away from being a "blue" state. Be vocal, very vocal...and vote...every time.
