I would be calling 9-1-1

 

The fixed blade, the patches, the ungroomed beard, I refuse to believe this is a real sheriff’s deputy.

He looks to me like some jackass with delusions of grandeur who spent all his money at Galls.

I most certainly would be calling 9-1-1 and demanding to have a real cop shop up, because I’m expecting that I’m going to be shaken down.

If he is a real deputy, he and his sheriff need to be fired.

Ode to Mom

Friday was Mom’s wake. All the kids, all the grandkids, all the great-grandkids were there. Dad’s sister and cousins were there as well.

Dad had also invited many of Mom’s friends as well.

I had too many crying jags. Dad was tearing up all the time. I’m tearing up now.

I wish the liquor scattered over [her], Johnny Walker Blue.

On a more serious note:

Her Ego is beyond comprehension.

After reading Another AWFL willing to sacrifice her children for her politics – Gun Free Zone

 

She is indeed a mother of 2 unloved children. Why do I say that? Because she is more caring of her failed principles than the lives of her kids. In her own little confused mind, she believes that the killer would be satisfied with just killing her or maybe that he will see the error of his ways and spare the lives of her brood. But more than likely, the murderer would also take the kids either because he is a killer or because he does not want to leave witnesses behind, and you can only be imprisoned for life or executed once no matter how many bodies you leave behind.

If you must die confronting a killer to defend your child, you bring him with you to across the Styx and dump him into Hades.

Why Newspapers are disappearing (and should)

The San Franisco Chronicle bemoans the “lack of diversity” at a local high school only to be brought down their moral high pony by the facts.

The stats from Lowell High School in San Francisco, CA – US News Best High Schools

A case of “It is not diverse unless we say it is under our ever-changing parameters!”

But then again California has a long history of Anti-Asian culture.

Cooking and Making Do

The feast for the troops!

Cooking on a hearth can be a lot of fun, even while being a lot of work. A couple of weekends ago we had a clean up day at our local historical fort museum, and as a volunteer there, I was tasked with feeding the troops. They had pizza for early in the day, and in the evening I made a decent sized feast. It was well received. Some of the volunteers are new this year (and I should note, so am I; I’m just already experienced with reenacting and organizing volunteers), and they were amazed at how much food I cooked over the course of the three days we were there.

That Friday, I was lucky enough to be presenting for a local wildcrafting school’s instructor, which was a lot of fun. I was dressed all in 18th century kit, using appropriate cooking pots and tools, as well as the right vegetables and meats for the era. I made squirrel stew, fresh bread, and added some beet and leek salad and some pickles to the table. The food was appreciated, and I managed to turn the wife of the instructor into a squirrel lover. She’d had his cooked before, but wasn’t pleased with the flavor, but found mine to be incredibly tasty. High praise indeed!

Sun setting behind the fort.

Friday evening, I caught a lovely image of the fort as the sun went down behind it. The night was clear and mild, and I was happy. I went to bed (for the first time!) on a rope bed topped with a down feather ticking mattress. I slept incredibly well, and I look forward to spending many days and nights there this summer. The moon was ridiculously bright on both Friday and Saturday nights, and you didn’t even need a lantern to make your way to the privy. It was much nicer than when we stayed there in February. The temperature on Friday night was about 45F, considerably more comfortable than February’s 11F. All in all, it was glorious! There was wine, song, camaraderie, and a lot of relaxing in the dim light of the fire. The cabin itself was very dark once we closed the shutters for the night, and there’s no electricity or running water there, so we had candles and the fire for lighting. I did have my solar lantern with me for privy runs, but really didn’t need it.

Another AWFL willing to sacrifice her children for her politics

New Hampshire Leftists are just as evil and dumb as Leftists everywhere.

 

I hate the New Hampshire Libertarian Party, but the response from a New Hampshire Democrat is even dumber.

There are many good and legs reasons to shoot someone.

She was given a hypothetical good reason and balked at it.

 

If someone was trying to murder my children, I would double their body weight with lead. That’s not even remotely in question.

But she can’t stick by her political principles and say she will defend her children, so she says she’ll doing something useless that might get them killed.

I’m hope her kids know how much she loves them.
