At my first job, we had a tackle box for a cash register. Tax was 5%. All prices ended on .99. Wasn’t that hard. SS says I started there at 13.
At least they didn’t fight the cops.

I’m tired of website redesigns


There are two business reasons for this:

- The marketing units have to act like they are doing something so they redesign it to look busy

- Customers figure out how to get through the maze and actually talk to someone, and they have to build a new maze to reduce calls.

We did play lights out. Probably the best they have done at doing what the coaches tell them to do all year.

I've seen y'all play better, and you will again. Just an off night for the Hogs.

He was already out of the way when shots were fired. He wanted to shot, and he did. Add some PTSD from military and the prior event a few months ago and it’s all recipe for disaster. He won’t be prosecuted, but his life is ruined. That’s the bottom line it seems. Our opinions don’t change that, and the opinions vary obviously


Things happen fast. It's hard to say what I would have done in such a situation, and in his shoes with his training and his prior experiences. In fact, no one can truly say. All we know is what he did.

I think I would have been more concerned with getting out of the way than shooting, but who knows. It's a tragedy for many. She lost her life. Her kid lost her mom. Her spouse lost her partner and is left with the knowledge that she encouraged the "resistance," and he will no doubt be haunted, if not hounded by the experience.

Just a tragedy all around. And those who did their best to ratchet up the rhetoric until they provoked people to do stupid, crazy, disobedient things in such a highly charged environment seem to be continuing to ratchet it up even more, all from the safety of being behind a podium or microphone.

That dog had the highest IQ out of the three occupants of the car.


I suspect the dog at least knew what "No" meant and would get out of the car when commanded to do so.

The whole thing is a very tragic example of when fun and games stop being fun and games.

The real assholes in all of this are those who sit safely behind a microphone and radicalize behavior to the extent that gullible people think they can disobey law enforcement without consequences, particularly in a very politically charged environment.

I got a high school ring, but never wore it. I had it melted down and turned into a nugget necklace for my wife, now ex-wife. Where it and she are right now, I do not know. I don't miss either one of them.

My first girlfriend was 6' tall, two inches taller than me. We made it work.
Looks good, better than my "breakfast" of coffee and a handful of peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets.
USPS showed a Christmas gift made it to the local post office and was out for delivery -- for several days. I went to the Post Office and the desk workers looked for it, but could not find it. It never showed up, nor was there any notice that it had been delivered -- at my house at least. I got a refund and I guess someone got the gift.

And, it looks like they have done it again. I'm beginning to wonder if our local Post Office is a den of thieves.

Requirement to harvest the meat for consumption is a reasonable requirement. I’m a hunter and wouldn’t want to let meat go to waste on anything I shoot. I’ve heard mountain lion meat is actually pretty good tablefare.


My BiL shot a mountain lion on a hunt. He brought the meat home and got his mom to fry it without telling anyone what it was. I wasn't there when it was served, but my wife said she was suspicious and wouldn't try it until he told her what it was. Her brother said, "meow." No one ate any more of it, but those who had, said it as alright -- but not as good as moose or elk.

My cousin lives in Colorado and goes solo hiking all the time. She always has her dog with her when she hikes. Not sure what kind of dog she has, it appears to be at least 50lbs.


We stayed at a ranch in the Boulder River valley in Montana. The wranglers would always take at least one dog with us when we went on a trail ride through the woods. There were a couple of times when the horses became noticeably nervous and the dog, a border collie, took off through the brush and confronted something. We'd hear barking and maybe some animal moving away, but we never saw anything. The wranglers said they only rarely saw a mountain lion or bear and there had been no attacks, but it was pretty common for the dogs and horses to alert. One of the wranglers guided mountain lion hunts during the off season.

Should this be our foreign policy then?


When it serves our national interests, yes.

This will reduce Chinese and Russian influence in the western hemisphere, reduce the influence of islamic fundamentalist in SA, stop the illegal transfer of oil, slow the drug traffic, and give the Venezuelan people a chance to have a legitimately elected government.
