A few years ago I was working late nights and was getting pulled over by the troopers 2 or 3 times a week. Tail lights and brake lights that were out but mysteriously worked when I got home, or they were "dim". Got stopped once for not stopping at a stop sign for a full count to 5. Been pulled...
You can't teach someone who does not want to learn and lives in an environment that does not require it. I tend bar in a place where the newly hired college students, and college graduates, too, cannot make change from a $5 bill for a $3.50 beer without using a calculator. They never had to...
When most of the country can't be bothered to pull themselves away from their TVs and computers to vote, how many do you think will be willing to risk their lives fighting an invading force whose only rule of engagement is kill everyone?
I guess it depends on where you are. When I was working late nights, I was getting stopped by the troopers 2 or 3 times a week. Only 1 ticket in all those stops, for about a half inch of snow coming up on the rear plate of my pickup. I had one trooper tell me that anyone out after midnight was...
My kids belong to my community? Bullshit. I have 2 registered sex offenders in my community, the guy down the road from me is an abusive drunk and there is a crack house just 100 yards from my home. I have a retired NYC cop living 3 houses from me who is about the unfriendliest prick I have ever...
I put that list up, and it is a very short one as there are many more companies that have shown support for the LGBTQ community, to illustrate the absurdity of people getting upset over 1 Bud Lite can. Absolut, Smirnoff, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, Coors, Sam Adams, Corona...
Guys, it is one can that was sent to Dylan Mulvaney with his picture on it. You won't find displays of Bud Lite cans with his picture on it in your local beer stores. It is all a tempest in a teapot. And for those who really feel the need to boycott any company that supports the LGBTQ community...
I tended bar for over 30 years and I have seen lots of cops get drunk and drive. I know of several who were involved in accidents and 2 that were drunk while on the job. With just one exception I have never seen or heard of cops arresting another officer for drunk driving. That one exception...
The Borsch Belt and The Sour Cream Sierras, too.
I graduated from Liberty High School in 1974. It was a nice town, then. Now, to give you how bad it is, I tended bar for a living until last summer. The 3 bars left in town (in 1980 there were 20, and all were busy) close no later than 10pm...
I know of 2 guys who had their cars broken into and their handguns stolen when they went into a store that would not allow them to carry their weapon in the store. If you think about it, it is easy to observe someone as they go through the motions, taking their weapon from it's holster...
I used to date a woman from Poland who graduated from high school when Poland was still part of the Soviet Bloc. Part of her requirements to graduate was to be able to field strip and reassemble an AK, while blindfolded. She taught me how, among some other things she was very skilled at.
I have a Guide gun in 45-70, with 200 rounds, give or take a few. It now has a Bausch and Lomb 2-8 Balvar scope mounted on it. $1200 without the scope, $1400 with the scope. The dog, Model 28 and knife are not for sale.
For what it's worth, I used to do Civil War reenacting with a guy who also got involved in WW2 reenacting. He bought 2 Sherman tanks from the Bosnian government, had them shipped back to the US and then moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania and had them mounted with .30 and .50 caliber machine...
