If I'm not mistaken, the propellant is LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) which should not hurt the fabric. Chuck

You got that right! Like other politicians, they think they are so much smarter than the average American. Meanwhile, they have lost sight of why they are there and have their own agendas. Their main concern is getting wealthy. Chuck

More BS out of the guy. Seems like all he does is try to cover-up and crawfish out of one thing or another. Chuck

I don't need one but I'd sure like to shoot one... full auto! Chuck

why does the top photo of Oprah in the article look like a 'booking photo'? Is that 'source being' racist? Chuck

Interesting that you didn't reference 2011. That was one of the worst years ever for total tornado touchdowns and killer tornadoes and deaths and destruction. A once a generation type of year though. In January 2010, we had ten straight days of below zero temps., nighttime and low 20's daytime temps. I hadn't seen it that cold here in west Texas since the early 90's. since then, the winters have been what I would call 'mild'. When I was a kid, I saw on the news, film of tornadoes that through the season, numbered in the hundreds along the 'tornado belt' and through the South. I remember record setting cold temps in the Western states, severe flooding one year and near drought the next. I'm no meteorologist by any means but I think, this old world just has weather 'cycles'. Chuck

Thanks! I hope he does too. Chuck

The airport looks like it's in pretty good shape, as for fuel. Wildfires are scary as hell. Y'all be safe. Chuck

Sure, numbers are down this year... everything burned-up, last year! Chuck

...and there are individuals and large corporations making a bundle off it. cough, Al Gore cough... Chuck

As for the wildfires, in 2012, out of 254 counties in the State of Texas, only 2 were un-touched by wildfires. The Western States have been in a drought for the last several years and we are not out of the woods, yet. There is still an abundance of fuel build-up. Dry lightening has been the major cause of wildfires in the Western States. Along with careless people walking away from campfire or deliberately setting fires. In the area where I live, we had one of the largest wildfires in Texas history, the Rock House Fire. Fortunately, Texas has received a good amount of rain this July, as have other Western States and things are green. The grasses will die off as they do and the fuel will be there. Wildfires are a part of nature to make way for new growth. I can recall over the years when tornado numbers were way up and years when tornado numbers were way down. I can recall extreme hot weather in the summer and extremely cold winters as well as milder summers and winters. I just take it as 'that's just nature'. Chuck

And if it were not for the French, the US would still be a Commonwealth colony

I understand what you're saying. It's like Ozzie Osborne peeing on the Alamo!! Chuck

Thanks! He's a good dog. Smart and inquisitive as well as playful. Gets along good with my horse. He's a shelter dog. Half Rottweiler and half Anatolian Shepherd. We've had him since he was 6-weeks old. Every year, he gets his 'snake shots'. I killed a 2'-diamondback a couple weeks ago that was headed toward where we keep our dogs. That's why I keep a pistol with me when I'm outdoors. Chuck

Beautiful little girl! Chuck

They quit using lard in the recipe several years ago. That made them taste really good. Olestra leaves a greasy after-taste. Chuck

See my avatar... oh and this guy! Sammy Chuck

t's nuts, anymore! I guess, that's why I like living in a rural area. Law West of the Pecos! Chuck

I live about half-way between Odessa and El Paso. Right now, since we've gotten some rain, everything is green. The cows are happy-happy. Enjoying green instead of dead grass. I would imagine fuel is taking a big bite out of your wallet. Dang, diesel costs more than no-lead. It's ridiculous. During the 70's, 80's and 90's, I drove gravel doubles, propane tankers, fuel tankers, grain doubles and flat-beds. That ol' girl you're driving is in darned good shape for the miles on her. Well taken care of. Be safe out there and keep the greasy side down! Chuck

That cop mighta' done better with a scatter gun than that pistol! I wasn't trying to make excuses for the cop, I was only offering a possibility as to 'why' it took him so many shots. I do have to agree that the cop should've had more 'self-control' than what he did. After all... gun control is hitting your target! BTW... is that your 'large car' in your avatar? Good lookin' Peter-car!! Chuck

but I suspect that if we could check the LEO's history of target practice, we'd see a short coming. I would tend to think that the officer would be more calm during qualifications. The shooting of a human would tend to be a time of high tension and could impair his accuracy. Leading to several shots fired rather than fewer. Chuck

Let's see. 15-2-5 = 8 bullets that flew off into the neighborhood and could have hit anything or anyone. Is spray and pray really part of police training? Studies have shown where during a gunfight, the heart rate, breathing and pulse, all go up drastically. This could effect a shooter's ability in regard to accuracy. Chuck

I smell law suit!! Chuck

It's tough being a mascot. Chuck
