That I agree with. But the thing is that Keith is simply recognizing that here in America we have the second amendment as interpreted by our Supreme Court. No solution is worth talking about if it lay's outside the confines of that reality. I, for one, think the whole gun craze in America, is simply ridiculous especially this nonsense with AR-15's and safety less hand guns like Glocks. But I am not ready to give up my guns. I don't think my shotguns are a danger to much more than woodpeckers and gophers. Also, I like the idea of a home defense shotgun. I believe if the fringes on both sides would just accept some common sense changes that recognize it's not an all or nothing proposition we can get to a better place. Beating the same drum won't help.

Nope. But it's often the source of your first ass whooping in life.

That's fantastic. Tomorrow I am one month post my second Pfizer shot. I'm not cavalier about anything but it's been a joy to be able to have pretty normal dinners with others who are fully vaccinated. The best bit by far was when my favorite niece told her two daughters to give me a hug when I was home. The things you take for granted.

So even public DZO's are assholes? Figures. Hey, if we all own the Army then we're all DZO's right? That means we're all, well, you know.

Now you've gone and done it, you made the new Mod say cripes. I suspect we'll have another "too many connections" episode because of you.

Ohio? The state that sent the 18 year old kid to times square with an AK-47? Hmm. Was the shooters weapon an easily seen International Orange or Neon Green? And, for a bonus, is it maybe reasonable that a judge in a loosey goosey gun control state pack a little hidden heat? Should that allowance thus by necessity of fairness be extended to everyone?

Now if we can just get the "too many connections" asshat in the docket.....

It's just fascinating the different ways people learn.

Why would someone limit themselves to a single cardinal direction. Why not NorthSouthEastWesterly?

Cheap shot, John, and you know it.

It's an easy one to scoff at, Ken, but that's really how things work. Every now and again someone with an idea or a vision drags everyone else along to a better place. Isn't that the belief we want to give to kids?
-
Of course I want that on me. I'd be known as the guy that ended the packer shortage in skydiving. You think I'd kill valuable workers?

Moron. He should have gone to Winnipeg and hid out in an ice fishing shack on the Assinboine.

I volunteer to be the final adjudicator in all capital cases if that sets anyones mind at ease.

Used to be having a dose was nothing to brag about. How times change.

All it takes is an effective leader who is persuasive and knows how to make a case.

Yep. I'm laying at Charlotte Amalie, USVI's at the moment. Ashore yesterday, I cruised the currently vacant street of jewelry shops set up for the ships that are still wandering around empty, back and forth, at sea. Most are hanging on and hoping but no one with sense wants to pay their prices when better stuff is available cheaper at home. Without crowded streets and vibe they are toast. The Super Yachts are around paying huge dock fees and high prices for fuel bunkering but what else isn't really visible. On the other hand, the VI's are kicking ass at the moment with American tourists who are spending lots of money and have nowhere else to vacation. The per head fees Cruise ships pay each country is driven down because the Lines have the power to just say no thanks, we'll go up island, thank you. But, if the islands get smart and get together it's the per head fees that are the low hanging fruit. Jack it up to $50 or $100 per head per port and hold the line and the Cruise industry will pay.

Yep. 2537 RPM's. Ingenuity's first flight was a success. It is now official: Amazon Prime delivery is available at the Jezero Crater.

Half of the year I live in the Cruise Ship Capital of the world: The Caribbean. I get around, although in the age of Covid it's been less. The locals are wising up to the Cruise Ship scam, believe me. They are seeing them as the environmental disasters they are. They are tired of their paid off politicos taking less dock fees just to get the visit and a spiff. They see less money from the rows of curios stands set up for the cruise ships benefitting the economy than they were told would happen. Restaurants now see that the cruisers mostly eat aboard where the cost is zero and really do not go out at night for dinner. There is more. But from what I see the dew is off the lilly on some Islands and the Cruise Industry will have fewer locations and less bargaining power than before.

There you go again. Roads are made by the travel of vehicles. Over time easements are created. But that does not make the first car track any less valid.

Cars go by our houses all day long and we deal with it but when your asshole neighbor fly's his drone above your pad with a camera it's a different thing. What, do you think Martians aren't as good as you? Are you some kind of planetist?
-
I have it on the best authority that it was not a software problem. In fact, SETI received a sternly worded letter from the local HOA (Hole Owners Association) demanding flight path pre-approval and establishing no fly SOL's. For those of you who don't subscribe to my service I will be posting slightly delayed updates here on Speakers Corner. In the meantime, so that we stay in good graces with our neighbors, everyone would be well advised to avoid stepping on worms.

Not all of us y'all's. In Texas they are a Senate vote away from unpermitted open carry of side arms. Soon every Texan can play Texas Ranger. What a great idea.
-
Go USA! We haven't even met a Martian yet and already we're flying drones over their houses. I hope they come out of their holes totally pissed off.

No kidding. It's hard to believe the gun culture in Ohio is on the right track when an 18 year old, or his idiot parents, thinks going on vacation to Times Square and toting your AK-47 along is a fine idea. Does anyone need more evidence that we need a serious national law?
