It's unfortunate but I have come to accept that July 4th and New Years Eve are recognized redneck celebrations. When you have booze and explosives, what could possibly go wrong? These days it's all about me, me, me. Consideration for others is an afterthought.

Some idiot set off fireworks here, also. My poor dog is on medication to help her terror when she hears them. People are so inconsiderate.

Gun laws ought to be looked at without the fear the mere mention of them generates. There ARE problems and they should be mutually discussed and actively worked on without the knee-jerk attitude and broken-record bleating of "the government is trying to take my guns!" That's NOT and never will be a reality. The logistics of such an enterprise is impossible anyway. The only time you'll see that scenario in modern America is in cheap fiction and bad movies. Anyway. Not the forum for this is it. Eskie, I think we have more in common than we don't. I think you're a great person from your posts. Much respect. I just feel that America is dealing with too many unnecessary difficulties. It shouldn't be that hard to implement intelligent change to certain loopholes and policies. The loopholes in particular have sufficiently proven themselves to be damaging and dangerous. The stats prove that. The more vocal one-note naysayers do nothing but obsessively refuse to acknowledge the problems. In most cases lawmakers are denied even an entry-level discussion on the matters. I guess the issues will continue. Not seeing much hope these days. Especially these days. With so many gun owners becoming increasingly militant in attitude, the hope for mitigation/compromise dwindles. Meanwhile? The cordwood keeps getting stacked higher. Yes, make no mistake, that's the true bottom line. The cordwood keeps getting stacked higher. Simple small changes to certain guns laws are NOT useless and are NOT "the first step to oppression". The crowd constantly claiming that one always seem to me to be down a quart or two of practical rationale. There's too much fantasy between the ears of too many gun owners these days. [I'm not referring to you or critiquing your reason for personal gun ownership. I understand and stand with you on that.] There are issues out there that need looking at is all. Mutually; with an eye for both facts and measures that will help solve definite problems. Pardon if you found anything offensive. It's early and I'm trying to make a decent case without sleep and without tea/coffee. I'm done now. Hard world Eskie...I just hate seeing so many mistakes being made. We can learn WITHOUT making them too. |

We have tons of lizards hanging out in the sun on the house walls and fence around the house this time of year. I have to check the yard for lizards and cats before letting the dogs out. I shoo away the lizards and they hide behind the flower pots. Our next door neighbor told me that her husband saw a snake the other day. I haven't seen one of those yet here.

Oh poor you Lizardlady that sounds like a dreadful start to the year for you - I hope that as the days have gone on things are a little better now.
