Good Morning Infodel, lot's of good morning read's here too.
Huffington Post/ MLK Gun's ... I knew the Doctor had a few gun's, and of course needed protection probably more than anyone else in town too! Dont think the cop's were too quick to help. But yeah ... the gun issue again is getting to be a big concern, and everytime these fruitcake's pop up like this Arizona guy, it just pushes anti gun folk's a lil further. I'm an NRA guy (over 30 yrs), but dont even hunt no more, and for me, gun's are just home defense and/ or sporting equipment for the range. I cant blame anti gun folk's for their outrage, or familia's of these victim's, but it's just a handful of these type's that are responsible for this, who get too bent out of shape when time's get difficult. What is nauseating too, is every time the MSM show's him, he has a smile big as Texas, and look's like a friendly character, he's not friendly as he appear's obviously.
Spiegel, Boy fend's off wolves with metal, made me wonder if they liked it? But reminded me of an old friend DeeAnn, she bred and raised wolves as a hobby (animal lover), but she had an expensive custom designed audio system built into her home (exterior as well) with it's own sound control room, she was a huge heavy metal fan, and these wolves were raised around it of course. But it was almost like relaxation music for them it seemed. I never realized just how big wolves could be until dating DeeAnn, but this one named Nick, took a liken to me, and everytime I would come over, he would greet me by standing on his back leg's, and putting his paw's up on my shoulder's, and I'm 5'11", but we were face to face level, that ole boy just loved me for some reason, and I liked him too!
Hillblogger 3 ... I have heard of dead folk's getting called to jury duty, but never a cat(?)
PDX is that cool, you just been spoiled having lived there so long. :)
Gotta make a few run's Guy, Later
Infidel: I just want to say, “thank you”, for providing these link-roundups. I’ve found a lot of great information, and blogs, thanks to your obvious hard work, diligence and fair-mindedness in listing blogs from every persuasion and topic.
RC: My most recent lady friend was more solidly "left" politically than I am -- and she was a gun owner. Guns and their place in our culture are not just the property of the right.
Boy fend's off wolves with metal, made me wonder if they liked it?
I kind of doubt that. They probably felt more like a group of people arriving at a restaurant and deciding the muzak sucked so badly that they couldn't eat there, no matter how good the food was.
Pamela: And thank you, for a moving and challenging story.
