      1. Think I’ve posted this before but back in the early 70s we had a judge in a divorce case order us to pick up a skunk that was a contested piece of property in a divorce. The house, cars, everything else had been, more or less, amicably divided but they couldn’t agree on the skunk. As both attorneys were worried that the other’s client would make off with the skunk the court ordered the county to secure it until distribution could be made. It spent 16 hours a day in the office running around under desks while deputies and office staff played with and fed it, damn near had to have the judge pry it away from the office.
        The skunk was huge, couch cushion size, and friendly as all get-out, box trained and somewhere between a dog and a cat in behavior. In all it wasn’t a bad pet but some states and jurisdictions do have their rules…

        1. You have had some great experiences, czar! That’s a crazy thing to fight over, and probably a first for the courts. I’ve heard skunks can be trained and that they can be good pets if their scent sack is removed. Great story!!!!

    2. We’re about 15 miles from the closest source of light pollution so, on a moonless night, we get a very clear of the lens of the Milky Way. On those rare occasions where the area has a blackout the view’s even better. Having lived in the city for so long we forgot what a night sky looked like; during Katrina those who’d stayed behind got to look at clear night skies for weeks.

  13. OMG I just nearly died……..laughing. Kaepernick was doing a press conference and he said this, “We were talking to him about how can we get the message back on track, and, not take away from the military. And, as we talked about it, we came up with taking a knee. And, I think what I did was taken out of context and taken a different way.” How is taking a knee better than sitting? Is this football player thinking? How does this guy manage to get his clothes on in the morning? I have a feeling that his new squeez has a hold of his head and he can’t think straight.

    This clip doesn’t cover that exact quote of what he said, but I think it was the same press conf.

          I find nothing wrong with being proactive. When the city of New Orleans lied to us and plopped a few hundred Section 8 apartments into our area we started buolding safe rooms and safe (bullet resistant) areas. Out here we know how to incorporate defensive measures into our finctional landscape; trees, ditches, plowed areas, all of those things that are part of our regular existence can be woven into barriers with a minimum of work. Were rustlers to start rustling about 5 minutes of work turns the street into an unusable chokepoint. It can be made temporarily unusable or unusable for varying periods depending upon the need.

          We gotta lotta possible scenarios out here, many triggered by the Katrina evacuee mess, and quite a few folks have worked up personsl defense plans as police are spread thinly during the best of times.

  18. I just got an email about the Gosnell movie. It is ready and there is going to be a private showing in Washington, D.C.
    “GOSNELL Film Screeningand Meet-and-Greet with Producer Ann McElhinney
    Thursday, September 87:30-9:30 p.m.Empire Ballroom – Omni Shoreham Hotel
    2500 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008
    Please share our Facebook event page with your friends: https://www.facebook.com/events/1420010514681870/?active_tab=highlights
    GOSNELL is a feature film about America’s most prolific serial killer and the fight to bring him to justice. Dr. Kermit Gosnell is currently serving three life sentences for murdering babies and patients at his “House of Horrors” abortion clinic. Starring “Young Superman” Dean Cain, GOSNELL shows how the political establishment knew of his activities but allowed Gosnell to keep killing because they did not want to shine a negative spotlight on abortion. The GOSNELL movie was made possible by a record-breaking crowdfunding campaign when 29,000 people gave a total of $2.3 million.
    Hereโ€™s what our president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, had to say about GOSNELL:
    “Everyone needs to see the Gosnell movie particularly young people. I can’t recommend this movie more strongly. The Gosnell movie faces viewers with the brutality and inhumanity of abortion and it achieves this in a movie that looks as good as any Hollywood film. This movie will change hearts and minds about abortion. It needs to be available widely.”
    “We hope you will join us for this very special event!”

    Brazil, Had by Far the Largest Number of Slaves in the 18th & 19th Centuries: Around 4,000,000 to 5,000,000

    Yet I never hear ANYONE protest Brazil and its egregious record.

    Slavery was not ended in Brazil until 1888.

    Cuba, that bastion of freedom that football player wore a T-shirt for the other day. They didn’t abolish slavery until 1886 – 21 years after the U.S. did.

    “according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World.

    “10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.

    And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. Thatโ€™s right: a tiny percentage.

    In fact, the overwhelming percentage of the African slaves were shipped directly to the Caribbean and South America;

    Brazil received 4.86 million Africans alone!

    I’m waiting to hear a black football player, or anybody else fond of protesting,

    start protesting the Arabs and demanding reparations from them.

    They were the greatest African slave traders of the last 500 years.

Aside from the fact that leaders lead and far too many of these elected clowns misread the job description and confused the verb with the noun, it sounds like we’re the livestock and they’re the ranchers.
