Today has not been one of my better days. This afternoon I was hit by a sudden fever that went to 103°F and stayed there, except for that one spike to 105°F. I should have had my happy ass hauled off to the hospital, but stubborn pride once again won out. That, and the fact [...]

Ol’ Floppy-Toe
August 24th, 2006 No Comments
As some of you know I have been fighting with an open wound in my one remaining big toe, (lost the left one several years ago), for two years. Today a doctor finally made a decision on what is causing this thing to refuse to heal.
It is the way my foot moves - or rather [...]

Oh, Darwin! What have you done?
August 24th, 2006 No Comments
I can’t help but wonder how many times Mr. Darwin heard something like the title of this post. After all of the time since the 1858 paper by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace and Darwin’s 1859 book The Origin of Species, the idea of evolution is still a hot topic - at least here [...]

Where is your Bic lighter, Moonbat?

Oh boy! The Lefty Moonbats are gonna eat this up! It’s gonna be like deja vu all over again. Long-haired kids having sit-ins at Military recruiting offices, chanting, Neal Young singing, and guys burning their draft cards…
Wait one… Oops, I forgot - no draftcards! This is an all Volunteer military! Too bad, Moonbats!
Here is a portion [...]

Waiting on Madmen

The North Korean army says that continuing U.S.-South Korean military exercises (which, BTW, are an annual event) were tantamount to war and threatened to take action, saying the drills rendered “null and void” the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.
Gas prices continue to fall in the U.S.
Iran has turned away I.A.E.A. inspectors from an [...]

Thinking of Friends

It was another long night. Happily the first in a long while, though. For most of it I just dealt with the pain and stayed in bed with Lady Beth sleeping quietly next to me. Finally, I gave in and hit the kitchen for some milk and narcotics at 0400. I read the news (nothing [...]

The Legend of Elmer Keith
August 19th, 2006 2 Comments
Elmer Keith’s long range shooting has become something of a legend. Many folks claim he lied his ass off to this day about shooting a der at some 600 yards with a handgun. I think the story to be true and only wish The Bull could shoot half as well. (Might could if I practiced [...]

1st Day of School - Time for a Warning
August 15th, 2006 3 Comments
This morning The Bull and Lady Beth will send the youngest daughter off to her first day of school. I fully expect tears to flow freely at the moment of seperation, but not from ‘Loo Loo’, (A nickname. Don’t get your panties in a twist!). She is thrilled. The tears will come from Lady Beth. [...]

In Need of a Belt Holster

If you read this blog much you know I’m a shootist. It is bred in the bone. I’m also a big bore fan, (anything starting with a “.4″ or larger), and a single action nut. Yeah, that last bit is kind of odd these days when you consider that a single action is my carry [...]

I just added a ClusterMap to the sidebar. The updates will begin tomorrow. Somehow I fear that it will show just how FEW visitors there are to my little pasture here.

Can you guys imagine having this happen to you? Oh! The sting of embarasment! The following is from the “Out There” section of Fox News Online:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned — especially a woman scorned in the sack.
Husband not living up to your … ahem … conjugal expectations? What better way to [...]
