Cypress Sun

Not only the lead dust, but the dust from the ground also. That ground has had an untold amount of lead imbedded in it. There has been some days that I blew my nose after the match that the snot came out black from the dirt and dust. That couldn't have been healthy. The people resetting SG targets, the shooter and the TO were affected the most by the dust.

The Eastern Indigo (black snake) and the Black Racers used to intertwine in my chain-link fence at a house I used to have. Sometimes they were mating and other times singular snakes were shedding their skin. I found a 7' snake skin in the fence one time.

Cool!

Of course it was Florida, where else would they go to seek out intelligent life forms.

Tomorrow doesn't concern me cause....

The claws ate that bag up. Imagine what that would do to a person!

Outstanding catch!

Probably hate meteors also.

I know a cowboy shooter and his wife. His name is Jeremiah Longknife and his wife is Velvet Sheath. They've been State Champions for their prospective categories and she has been Overall State Champion a couple of times, if I'm not mistaken.

Surveys, and polls for that matter, mean nothing. There are 400 million people in the country. If you survey 100 people and 70 of them like product X, that's 70% favorable opinion of product X. Does that mean that 70% of all Americans like product X. Of course not. A group of females go to a conference sponsored by Glock. No doubt that all of the firearms supplied for testing were hand picked for smooth actions and other features. Glock comes out on top in a "survey" of women participating in the conference AND "survey"....what a surprise!!!! If the writer really wanted to know what women like, they should go to the range if you want to see what women actually own and shoot. Surveys/polls are nothing more than propaganda meant to deceive a gullible public.

I sure that the tires sold must meet DOT standards. I just don't think believe that the tires sold to Sams/Walmart are the same (visual quality control, tire material compounds, etc.) tires as sold to other retailers. I've only bought tires for myself at Sams once. My problems were with two of the four. After about 1,000 miles, they developed a vertical indentation in the sideways that was visually obvious. They refused to do anything about it. My ex, against my advice, bought tire there three times. All three sets developed the same problem within 1,000 miles on at least one tire per set. The brands were of two different manufactures. My present lady has purchased two sets of tires from them, against my advice of course. Both sets developed the same problem. They were two different manufacturers. The manufacturers were Goodyear, Bridgestone, Yokohama (sp?), BF Goodrich and brand that I don't remember, Dunlop maybe. We don't buy tires at Sams/Walmart any longer. I haven't for at least 30 years now.

I'll agree with the premise. I do believe strongly that the tires sold/mounted by Walmart and Sams is NOT of the same quality as the same brand of tires sold at the smaller "actual" tire retailers.

It's kind of opposite around here. The turtles are multiplying and the frogs (especially Bullfrogs) are disappearing. The smaller lakes are getting overrun by hydrilla, algae and other unwanted flora. The death of the lakes around here (and the saltwater coast) is directly attributable to storm water run-off. The run-off contains all of the chemical from the roadway and fertilizer from the yards which acts as nutrients for the plants but kills off the fish. I grew up next to a large retention pond, we called it a lake. Over the time (about 11 years) that I lived at home, next to the lake, I watched the lake slowly "die". When we first moved there, the lake had great fishing...bass, catfish, bream and other fish. It also was teeming with Bullfrogs. It also had a fair amount of Soft-shell, Slider, Snapping and Alligator Snapping turtles. It was relaxing at night to listen to the Bullfrogs croak all night and to walk around the lake at night listening to them jump in the water when you walked by. As the lake slowly died, the fish and Bullfrogs slowly disappeared. Oddly enough, as the lake was dying, the turtle population increased dramatically, to the point that the only thing left living in the lake (besides the flora) was turtles, an occasional alligator and a slowly increasing population of what we called Nile Perch (they weren't, they were Tilapia). Over the course of about two years, the turtles and Tilapia took over the lake, especially the Slider turtles. I also lived in a small apartment complex in the mid 80's that had medium sized retention pond in back of it. Bullfrogs, while never in great numbers, also lived there. It wasn't uncommon to catch 5 to 8 lb bass out of this lake. Never ate them as they came from a retention pond, but they slowly disappeared also in the same manner as the lake I grew upon. The hydrilla completely took over the lake. Only the turtles lived there after that. Long post about dead lakes, Bullfrogs and turtles I know. It's been a long time, but I miss the Bullfrogs at night.

You check bear temperatures on Facebook?

This ^^^ and the fact that they've had many recalls of food items.

When I ask a Walmart "associate" where an item is located, they usually say "Isn't it on Aisle blah, blah?" My response is always "If I knew where it was, I wouldn't be asking you." The last time I asked an "associate", that was blocking the isle while stocking, where something was...he couldn't speak English. just pointed while grunting like a caveman to the general location of the front of the store. I guess cheap prices come with the loss of customer service and appreciation. Just depends upon being able to put up with it to save money.

Thanks for the link! More importantly, Thank You Ms. Lee for your invaluable service to our Country.

I rarely step foot in a regular or Super Walmart but do go to the Neighborhood Walmart about every 10 days or so. Their prices are at least 25 - 30% lower on name brand items. I won't buy their "store brand" food items. I do almost all of my meat, vegetable, toiletries and paper good purchasing at either Sam's or BJ's. Around here we have Aldi's, Winn Dixie, Publix and a Save-A-Lot. I don't trust Aldi's. Winn Dixie and Save-A-Lot are ancient, dirty stores with high prices and 1/2 rotten food due to inadequate refrigeration. Publix stores are clean, their workers are friendly and helpful, but their prices are at least 25% higher than every place else and their sales are worthless. The people that work at all of the Walton brand stores are, for the most part, useless and lazy. I shop there anyway as money is tight but it doesn't mean that I don't tell them what's on my mind if need be.

A friend of mine had the Exorcist theme song for when his wife called. It was a great joke until one day...he misplaced his phone in the house and had his wife call his phone. It was sitting in the kitchen partly hidden under a dishtowel....right next to where she was calling from. He thought it was somewhere in his SUV and was out in his driveway. He did tell me that it was the ringtone matched her disposition when went back inside!

When doing an internet search "Can you put magnet on a microwave", some answers are yes and some are no. Interesting how much the answers vary. The one I posted was a yes from a poster called "Machinist". I think I'd put the magnets of the fridge instead of the microwave due to the varying internet answers.
