  1. Update... I've really enjoyed this thing this winter. Although more mild than last year, I've had it out just short of about a dozen times. It's taken my 1.5 hour shoveling job down to about 25 minutes. Was really nice last month when it was that real heavy wet snow.
  2. My mom grew up on that crap in New Jersey. We would go there every time we visited and even as a 5 year old, I thought it was disgusting. Perfect for Vegas.

    So is Jordan going to get bloody over this?
  4. It's certainly a difficult question. I reiterate....vaccines are absolutely necessary....only an irresponsible dipshit would advocate against.... But to what end? I refuse and the BATFV breaks down my door, holds my kids down, and injects them? What does "mandate" mean? To what end? You're absolutely right...do we then ban from air travel? Public spaces? Put a red "V" on all of their clothing? I really get uncomfortable with mandates. It pushes further from freedom. In the meantime, I'm vaccinated, my kids are vaccinated, and we don't have any contact with my wife's hippy cousins who don't.
  5. I'm not in favor of government mandating immunizations. Your body, your choice. However, I'm in favor of requirements for admission so-to-speak. Don't want to immunize? Great, you're an idiot, but great. However, you want to go to government run school? Immunizations mandatory. Welfare? Mandatory. And you are civily liable for spread if can be traced back.
  6. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/06/08/kids-with-no-vaccinations-clustered-in-someschools.html I'm pretty sure that exemptions are the issue. Schools can mandate, but morons can exempt.
  7. Pretty sure that was chicken pox.
  8. Really was. She's not one to emote. On top of that, she's a teenage girl. Good kid. I'm damn proud.
  9. Made a switch back to Glock today. I've been struggling for the perfect EDC (not fooling myself into thinking I've found it). I love my CZ PCR, but it does get heavy and is less desirable for those situations which require more discretion. That will remain my #2. I used to carry the 642 everywhere until I was shone the light "no one ever survived a gunfight and said 'I wish I didn't have so much ammo left over'". I recently found a PPS (round 2 of course)....shoots great and conceals like a champ, but is limited to 7+1 in the configuration I like best...I will likely get another some day. But alas, those pesky instructor voices talking about capacity... So today, I found my way back to the Glock 26 (fourth in five years on top of 3 G19s....all gone.) It's a Gen 3, which I do find comfortable. I've got 11 in the gun and two G-19 mags as back-up. Very comfortable to carry OWB (fits in my PPS Sidewinder) and I have a Supertuck and Sidewinder ordered now. Lesson of the day....do what you want with your guns, but don't sell all your shit that goes with them.
  10. 14 year-old daughter thanked me for being a good dad yesterday.
  11. Too early for me to commit to anything, but I'll be watching as these classes form and dates are being decided. I had a great time at CAC and still go over the material in my head all the time.
  12. I guess he lost that vote, eh? Want to change the constitution? Go for it. There is a process.....spelled out IN the constitution. Jefferson's musings are irrelevant.
  13. "guns are good"....Thomas Jefferson to his bottom slave October 9, 1775 5:11 psalm 6 Revelations
  14. Interview that I saw with dad last week....and I paraphrase...."he is a good kid....heck, his best friend is his cat".... And there's your sign.
  15. A constitution is akin to the skeletal structure of the human body. The fat, muscle, tissue can change over time, but it takes a deliberate and forceful act to change bone structure. I believe that was the intent of the framers as a whole, individual dissent aside.
  16. You would think they would have made constitutional changes more fluid and easier to accomplish then. Apparently there was disagreement among the ranks...assuming you're not full of shit.
  17. No, he didn't kill Mustafa. He wrote that there was an enemy sniper called "Mustafa" and he was rumored to be an Olympian. He wrote that he had heard that he was killed at some point.
  18. If this movie was done "by the book", it would have been a series of events rather than a story line. It would not have made a good movie whatsoever. A documentary, yes. They were able to incorporate many important events and themes, albeit, out of context in some cases, by following a fictional story line. If I recall from the book, his first kill was woman/child with the grenade....I'm not going to research to verify.

  20. I highly recommend the Victory. I've had mine for three seasons and it's the first bike I've ever had that doesn't leave me dreaming about my next bike.
  21. Just got back. Great movie! Really, in order to make the book into a movie, they needed some continuing story line (Mustafa). It was well done.
