Black Widow

Black widows, like tornados, copperheads, rattlers, and scorpions are a fact of life in this section of Texas, nothing to get upset about normally, just take care of em and get on with your rat killing.
I am out in the man cave/shop cleaning off the spider webs of the desk top like usual and alarm bells start going off, never did before, don't know why.
Look under desk top, there she is so I grab first aerosol can I can find, she drops, rolls, shakes it off and goes hide. Apparently clp gun oil is good for cleaning and polishing your black widows.
Ok she stays away from me, I keep my hands away from her. Despite what y'all have seen on t.v. they don't hide in closets and jump 12 feet out and go straight for the juglar vein-usually.
3hrs later I notice same type web round the bottom of chair my butt has been sitting in, I am wearing shorts. Remove web with broom, decide to flip over chair and check. Largest meanest black widow has been sharing chair with me, but in the resulting panic this great specimen and prize breeding stock was somehow totally and utterly destroyed.
This is why God has little time to work on the middle east, because He is kindly looking out for idiots like me

Aztlan confusion

Aztlan - the fabled mexican land that composes large areas of the western United States, was 'stolen' by the US, in combat, agreed by treaty and compensation, from the brown man, mexico, by evil white men, Americans...... but the story real does not end or begin there.
You see the mexicans stole it from the white men, Spaniards in combat, who stole it from the red man, Aztecs in combat, who stole it from other red men, various tribes, in combat.
Yet somehow only the Amercans are guilty of some horrible crime?Once again I am confused by our current media's edicts.

Dog T.V.

Dog t.v. - evernight, ok early morning the labrador decievers need me to watch dog t.v. with them. I dont know, maybe I control the remote. We must sit for hours staring into the star lite darkness at their favorite channel. Only to be punctuated occasional by the break, where they rush off like luney-ticks to attack something real or imagined. There is the part where they occasionally sing with or without the neighbors canines or tell the coyotes to get their own t.v. Frequent naps are required. There is also a part where they chase themselves into exhaustion I think over diffrences over what to watch. Then there are snack breaks where they drag me inside to convince me the need a cookie only to drag me back out a short time later. Sub freezing winter nights- hellish hot, dry summer nights- and glorious nights in between, it must be done no matter what I say or how I beg. I am off now to watch dog t.v. on a much too hot July night.

Labrador Decievers

5 rescue dogs and when they were pups we were told they were Labrador Retrievers except one, he was supposed to be blood hound but.....
Here is what we believe we have
Deacon/Bear- Bear    Australian shepard-bulldog weighing in at 107lbs
Snooker Doodles   Catahoola- the lousey-anna swamp dog.
Margret O'HoolaHound/ Maggie    Lacey Blue- the state dog of Texas. Better known as blue lazy.
(Win)CHESTER     Another 107 pounder who appears to actually be part Lab and part North Texas Begging Hound.
Ruger/ #%!#     Blood Hound who appears to actually be part lab.

All labrador deciecvers. All valued at $0. Actual worth- PRICELESS?

400 years of slavery?

If we generiously count 1775 as the beginning of the US, slave importation was banned in 1807, Slavery was finaly banned in the Union slave holding states by 1866 (the last states where it was legal) How in the hell does this equal 200 or the oft quoted 400 years of slavery in the US? Prior to that the British, French, Dutch or Spanish govts were responsible for it.

It's still confiscation

Once again our friends from the other side of the aisle are showing their complete and udder contempt for our intelligence by try to pull a fast one in the gun control 'debate'. So let's get this clear, RETROACTIVE BANNING LEGALLY OWNED FIREARMS! MAGAZINES AND AMMUNITION IS CONFISCATION!!! Telling someone who bought a legal product in good faith, often from the very government that is now trying to outlaw it, they have to get rid of it or turn it over to the state is de facto confiscation. You don't own a banned weapon so this does not effect you? How far are we from retroactive taxes? Retroactive criminalization has already happened under the lautberg amendment- people woke up and found they lost their second amendment RIGHTS for a minor infraction that happened over 50 years earlier with no notice or right to appeal. Are you ready to become a 'prohibited person' that is a criminal because of some purchase or minor action from your past with no rIght of appeal nor as in many cases totally unaware of your change in status? This is America that can't happen here! Wake up it already has and will again unless we we rise up and tell our 'public servants' to stop it.
