Went home yesterday. I discovered I had forgotten to close the garage door.[sm=nono.gif] So guess what. Everything was still in the garage. Nothing stolen. Rotor tiller, snowblower, generator, mountain bike, tools, etc. All where they belong. Thankfully my stupidity didn't pay off for some low life crud or cruds. Still none to happy with myself.[sm=nono.gif]

It was still amazing watching them hang that over-sized pop bottle rocket over the side. Of course there were Marines everywhere making sure nobody got too close.

I have a lot of friends in Alabama, and am glad to add you to the lot! They are a lot like the friends I have here in Middle Tennessee and like the friends I had in NW Oklahoma and, believe it or not, like the folks I lived around in rural Upstate New York! Give their shirt off their back if you truly needed it and would help you defend your "castle" with a wide assortment of weaponry. Yeah, I own many different weapons, some which need ammo and some that don't. My next acquisition is going going to be a bat'leth and figuring out how to use it!

Schanilec -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (3/15/2012 6:26:25 PM)
Or my stuff just isn't worth stealing.[:D] I can't remember the last time I locked my doors or locked the truck. In the winter we let the vehicles run while in the store. A labrador and fire arms don't hurt either. And we have a law. If someone is in your home univited, you are allowed to use deadly force. When almost everyone around here has a firearm, (I have ten.[:)]) the dirt bags tend to keep to themselves. Any sort of crime around here is headline news. Like yesterday. Some idiot tried to sell cocaine to an off-duty deputy as he and his family were out to dinner. Here's your sign. Great people around here. When it gets down to -30F. to -40F. and a wind chill down to -90F.+ one cannot afford to be an a**hole.

JWE -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (3/15/2012 8:04:29 PM)
Nashvillen, you are a breath of fresh air. I'm right down the 65 and just about everybody knows how to get here from there. Have spare bedroom, will clean up after you. 24 hours notice is all I ask. Made Baja fish tacos, today. Had to do it because I shot my big mouth off in front of Donna and Cheryl and they are the kind of girls who want it 'all'. Went to Billy's Seafood and got some Mahi-mahi, right off the boat, and got some Fieri Chipotle Salsa and went to slicing and dicing on JWE's own "Jesus came down from the mountain, just to have some" chipotle salsa and crema mexicana on a soft, warm, flour tortilla, with fresh grilled mahi-mahi and fresh shredded cabbage. Woof !! So I drop off the tacos, and Cheryl is asking "what are you doing the rest of the afternoon?" So like a dumbass, I say "Finish cutting the front yard, and then maybe fire up the Harley and go for a ride." "You got a Harley ??" "Uh, yeah." Life is becoming interesting down here in the dark, wet, stickey, world of the deep south. Whoda thunk a couple of tacos would work that wonderful world of magic on that teensy zipper on Cherly's hip? God !! I love Alabama !! [ed] Donna and Cheryl have a local hair salon and they graciously do my mother's hair every two weeks. Shear Impressions, Fairhope, Alabama.

Listening to Mrs. Tuchman's "Stillwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45". 29 hours long!

jeffk3510 -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (3/15/2012 8:30:13 PM)
...not that I leave it open, but if I did, people wouldn't mess with your stuff around here either. I remember we left my wife's back door on her Pilot open all night on accident... and everything was still there in the morning... Before our kid(s) we didn't lock our doors on the house..cars..garage..sunroom..shed... no one messes with that stuff around here.... HOWEVER, if they did, it would be the worst decision of their life. Dad talks about growing up in Dodge City, and how the entire town never locked anything other than businesses.. but when the outfit came and murdered the Clutter family in Holcumb, KS, he said everyone locked things up after that..

Having lived on both coasts , I can't help but be surprised by the degree of trust and honesty I've seen in this part of the country. Nebraska is also a "Castle state" (for our Non-American friends , a "Castle state" is one that subscribes to the principal that "A man's home is his castle , and one has every right to defend it , including use of deadly force against intruders"). Although here people are far more likely to have to defend against a wild animal than a two legged intruder. (Unfortunatly my on going war against moles doesn't justify the use of firearms , let alone my desire to use high explosives!)[:D]

Should be a good game since their head coach is our old head coach.

Morning tithe...[&o] Flying to San Antonio, TX for the weekend. My (only) nephew is being baptized. I've the honor of being the Godfather. [in bad Don Corleone imitation] They made me an offer I could not refuse. [end bad Don Corleone imitation] This will be the kids' first time seeing their recently minted cousin, so it should make for a nice family visit.

A Godfather baptism? We'll be hearing about several gang-related slayings in ol' San Antone...
