I’m working on one of those Big Idea blogs. Not sure how long it’ll take to bring form out of the void. In the meantime, here’s some cheer. All these are related to the piece I’m working on. The first three images I stole from Ragnar’s Freedom Outlaw page — the only thing on Facebook worth bothering with. Next, here’s one from Random Acts of Patriotism. I never visited that site before, so I can’t vouch for its POV. But it did win my favor by linking to this article noting that v*ters have a higher opinion of hemorrhoids than…

Sure, it’s miles away from 3D printing metal guns. Ages. But this gadget is probably making the ATF nervous about the future. And maybe someday soon some far more advanced version will make gunfolk very cheerful. (H/T MJR) Okay. Short quiz: When’s the last time you felt your life was endangered by a Jack Russell terrier? A. Absolutely freaking never; are you kidding me? B. Once, when one was riding on the back of a charging Rottweiler. C. There was that time my ex tried to stuff a Jack Russell terrier down my throat; that was scary. D. When I…
Happy Columbus Day. At least to you federal workers, bankers, and Catholic school kids. (Do Catholic schools still give Columbus Day off? When I was a kid in government school I spent many hours pondering whether getting an extra holiday would be ample compensation for getting knuckles rapped with rulers by terrible fierce nuns.) It’s a good thing you’re really celebrating a three-day weekend, rather than celebrating that dude. (The other guy mentioned had his own problems, but he did beat old Chris by a moral mile — and then some.)
Well, after whining the other day about how tedious the first parts of this project were, the rest went nifty-swifto. And here’s my finished memory necklace: The significant danglies include: door key; diary key; airplane charm; Virgin and child; evergreen tree; several leaves; dolphin charm; two astrological symbols; a Swarovski crystal; several circles; and a couple of stars. The rest are just pretty dangly things, mostly of glass or metal, with a few semi-precious stones. The main colors of the piece (silver and gold) symbolize richness. The clasp is another leaf and is sterling silver. I didn’t have any suitable…
It’s just an ad. But soooo cool. It’s also part of a whole series with the “be more dog” theme.
Okay, folks. My Amazon linkage has fallen off a cliff this month. Maybe you’ve all quit buying online because you don’t want the NSA seeing you buying 50 Shades of Gray. And I really couldn’t blame you. This month I’ve got a dismal $30 in my Amazon “bank.” But NSA or no, I need to make at least $10 a day off those links to keep the puppies in kibble and keep up my best blogitude. So I’m going to sales pitch you. This is a two-parter. 1. There’s a bounty on your head That is, I get a bounty…
Seattle police continue to adapt well to cannabis legalization. (Though you may have to read carefully all the way through to hear their quiet chuckling.) I don’t know how good this “uncrackable” texting app is. I do know it’s yet another great sign that the tech world will smack down the NSA. (Tip o’ hat to MJR) And this is great, too. Kicking the No Such Agency and defending the Fourth while doing good deeds. In public. Here’s one I’ve been meaning to write a longer screed on but just haven’t been able to get to: the difference between knowing…
Be back later with actual content. In the meantime, here’s a great giveaway and a little laugh. The giveaway The folks at BioLite (the stove that’s almost as cool & groovy as my favorite old device formerly known as Pyromid, now EcoQue) are giving away a preparedness pack that’s loaded with some of the best of the best preparedness equipment. A SteriPen water purifier, versatile Eton FRX3 emergency radio (one of which I have, courtesy of friend T.), Mountain House entrees, and of course a BioLite campstove, among other things. Check it out. (You’ll need JavaScript enabled to see the…
I don’t care — and I suspect you don’t either — whose fault the government shutdown is. But boy. Amid all the theatrics and finger pointing, one thing is so, so very clear. The Master of the Shutdown, the head of the executive branch, the guy in charge of how it’s all being done (to us), Mr. Barry O himself, is one surprisingly small-minded, vindictive, nasty little S.O.B. Among his orchestrations: 25 ridiculous things Obama shut down Powerful, punitive, and petty And no potty breaks, either One disgusted park ranger told the Washington Times that he and his fellows were…
