As the economy continues to Obomb various companies are beginning to shave off their less than critical workers. This is evidenced by the marked increase in professional beggars around town.
It's also obvious that for all allot of them this is their first time bumming. A hint to the fellow I saw by the bank today. If you want to get money from big-hearted saps don't stand there with your dog, listening to music on your Ipod with what are clearly $60 or more headphones. Bum fail.
Another favorite of mine is a guy I call "Suit Bum". His "Korea War Vet" begging sign spells it "Koraeae". |

| Horder changes plea to "No Contest". Animals thrown under bus. |

Linda Kapsa, the breeder hoarder whose property was raided and from whom over 200 sick, starving and neglected dogs (with about 2 dozen dead ones having also been found), 27 chickens 10 cockatiels and three cats were seized changed her plea from "Not Guilty" to "No Contest". She had only been facing 1 (count them, one!) count of aggravated animal cruelty for the hundreds of horded animals on her property.
In a move typical of our sorry Country Attorney's office she avoids any jail time being given only a suspended sentence and gets to keep 6 neutered "companion" animals. Then for some unknown reason she also gets to choose 20 animals from those seized thus guaranteeing that in a few years she'll be back to a few hundred animals.
Now just in case you thought you read that wrong, no you didn't. The women who pleaded NO CONTEST to aggravated animal cruelty gets to keep 26 of the animals.
Personally I suspect this slap on the wrist was negotiated because caring for the animals before trial had already cost the county over $100,000 and they simply wanted to be rid of the financial burden. |

Well my time in the sandbox is coming to an end, and I'll be returning to the state of California soon. I realize that with Heller and other recent decisions, gun laws are changing and I was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice about open carry in California. |

1. I have so much to share about the horrible things that are going on in that country (city) I've been riding my bicycle into, and will eventually do so in another post which will definitely be FRIENDS ONLY.
2. I will finally lead you to the ALL ENGLISH web site I've been working on for over a year, and the other brand new ALL SPANISH one. Each one has over 2,000 pages.
3. Here is another pic of Nuevo León, Mexico. You can see in the far background the mountain called Cerro de la Silla (Saddle Hill). I had mentioned that I had planned the trip because I wanted to climb that mountain, but due to hearing of the outbreak of the Swine Flu on the day after I arrived, I was unable to climb it. My only concern was flying back home, because I had heard rumors that the borders might be closed.
I remember reading horrible things about Mexico, and Mexicans. People were blaming Mexico for the Swine flu; instead of placing the blame on the one's who might very well been the true culprits, which is an AMERICAN company by the name of SMITHFIELD FOODS. Here you can read about the filth this AMERICAN company has been creating for sometime there.
4. There's no denying, it pained me when I heard Michael Jackson had died. At first, I watched everything pertaining to his death with interest. How many days has it been now that he passed away? Eight, nine, ten days? Of course, it isn't Michael's fault at all, because he is dead, but isn't it about time to start showing something else, such as politics, North Korea happenings, etc.? The news media just doesn't know when to stop. Too much of something eventually loses its flavor. Eating too much of our favorite dishes, or constantly listening to our most favorite song will eventually make us barf.
I don't want to know what prescription drugs Michael was using. I don't want to know if some doctor prescribed them. Money hungry vultures (news media, lawyers, etc.) are trying to make some mystery of Michael's death. There is no mystery. I'm sure we all have taken prescription drugs, prescribed by a phycisian, that have made us deathly ill. We will all die from this, that, or the other, and there will not be a mystery to it, unless we are murdered, and the murder remains a mystery and at large.
Please news media, cops, detectives, lawyers, and what ever. P-L-E-A-S-E! Let M.J. rest in peace. Oh, and at the very bottom of this page, you can view the youtube video of the biological mother of M.J.'s kids. I pray this ugly, violent, foul mouthed heffer, who sold her children for lots of money, is kept away for those children!!
5. Tylonol! Why in the world was this new law passed? Is it yet another way for the pharmaceutical industry of making a killing off us poor individuals who must rely on Tylonol for pain relief? I believe I read somewhere where Big Brother passed some law, because some people were committing suiced with it. I'm sure there are countless ways of committing suicide. Take me for example, if I should ever try to kill myself, I'll just shoot my brains out, hang myself, or jump off a bridge, or just watch the old sarcastic Barracuda one time too many on TV!
I suffer from horrible migraine headaches, and Extra Strenght Tylonol, plus an ice bag placed on my forehead, has always been the only over the counter medication that has relieved me from the awful pain. Why couldn't they have left a good thing alone? I think I know the answer.

1. I've had my passport (my key to the world) for a long time, because I try to travel quite a bit. Before June 2 of this year, you could drive into J-Town, (Juarez, Mx.) and drive back just by saying "American" at customs. As of June 2, 2009, you MUST have a passport to re-enter the States. If you don't have your passport, you're stuck in Mexico FOREVER!
I make sure my passport, along with cash, is in a plastic baggy which I keep pinned inside my bra with a safety pin. This is just a precaution on my part, should I get mugged. I've been driving into Juarez an awful lot this year, but after having to wait in long line for up to 2, sometimes 3 hours, I've started parking my car in a parking lot located close to the border on the American side, then walking across. I've recently started riding my bicycle to get over there, making it much faster to travel throughout the city to take pictures. I have quite a collection now which I'll post, little by little, here soon, along with some of the pics I took on my recent trip to Nicaragua, and Washington, D.C.
You'll never guess what these adorable, and delicious pastries are called in Spanish! :o)
The pastries are called Pedos de Monja (Farts of a Nun). Seriously!

| Michael Jackson - Congressman Pete King |
[Jul. 7th, 2009|01:23 pm] |
I would have given my entire kingdom of gumball machines, including the gumballs, to see Michael Jackson live. Due to his untimely death, the world has lost so much from this musical genius.
My prayers are for him, and may he finally rest in peace from vultures such as that horrible man Congressman Pete King, who has spoken ill of the dead. I do not believe the accusations that were made against this man who was completely exonerated.

He was right, this is utterly ridiculous.
I won't be watching it. I won't be taping it. I could care less. It has expired it's due standing as a news item. This non-event to anyone not in his immediate family is being used as a distraction by people in power around the world.
As Rep. King said, we don't need Michael Jackson. |

| CZ Question |
[Jul. 6th, 2009|10:35 pm] |
In my conitinuing quest for a new firearm, I've come across a nice little CZ SP-01 Tactical in .40. Cool, except it comes with high cap mags. Illegal (a felony to be precise) in my neck of the woods.
Does anyone know if:
A) 10 rounders are available for the above model?
B) Standard CZ 75 magazines are interchangeable with this model? |

Pics and vids from the Tiger Valley Team Match!
Surprisingly we managed to make the top 20...because two teams were too HIGH-SPEED to listen to the rules and got disqualified for safety violations.
( Embedded videos~! )
Also this is apparently what a CAV-15 lower looks like after being run over by a truck:
Pretty surprised when I saw it...definitely didn't expect it hold up that well (for those who don't know, they're 100% polymer lowers). Can't wait to get my pink one now 
Hopefully they'll be doing this again next year, with more organization...really needed more ROs, I was definitely surprised at the general lack of maturity and common sense from a lot of the teams, especially considering their backgrounds (many were SWAT and current/former military). |

| A note to pet owners. |
[Jul. 5th, 2009|09:18 am] |
If you're going to the fireworks show and you own a dog then follow one of 2 options.
1. Sit way, way back.
2. Leave your dog home.
I went to a fireworks show last night and made sure to get myself a seat where I always do...at ground zero. Being right next to the launch area meant unfortunately that I was also right next to the massive PA/music speaker system. From about 40 minutes before the start through the entire show, my ears hurt and I was blocking one for 1/2 the time. I can't imagine what that poor Lab was going through that the couple right next to me had brought.
Another person had to be called over the PA before the show began because the dog that they'd left tied in the back of a truck right near the viewing area was injured. I hold the owner who left it there, in the open, near thousands of people just as responsible as whoever hurt it for its injuries. |

| First Lessons |
[Jul. 5th, 2009|12:19 am] |
This afternoon, after several accomplishments at home, I opted to make time for a range trip and ended up giving some impromptu first lessons to a brand spanking new shooter & friend of mine. Unexpected as they were, her first lessons were with a 4.25” barreled semi-auto, chambered in .45 ACP, shooting heavy factory loads (230grain)...and I can tell you is this much:
A) I had her hitting center (black area) on a standard 25yard round target in under 25 rounds
B) She quite enjoyed it and would like to do so again.
Whether this is a credit to my own ability & skill as a teacher OR her own innate & as yet unrealized talent, I cannot say. For now, I’m going with a little bit from column A...and a little bit from column B.
Prior to her arrival I did have one truly ‘epic’ fail. Having already put a 100+ rounds down range at this point, I reloaded my magazines, loaded the pistol, mentally checked the usual suspects, aimed. Fired and..."cocksucker!" Gah! Son of a motherless goat!"
To my left, my ear protection lay, momentarily forgotten on the bench. It’s 5-6 hours later and my ears are still ringing as I write this.

| A Conservative Star Dims... |
[Jul. 4th, 2009|01:02 am] |
I'm really disappointed in Palin's resignation. I hoped that she could come back from the '08 campaign a much stronger candidate in 2012. She had so much potential to offer Alaska, the GOP, and the nation. If she wanted, she could have been the first female president of the United States.
I wonder if dealing with the Haters got to be too much. Between the slander of the campaign, and the recent douchebaggery of Vanity Fair and Letterman, the facts were lost in a sea of lies.
There's still a spark of hope in me that she left office to pursue another political position or focus solely on 2012 organizing. The star of Sarah Fierce should not die, no matter what! |

| Gun Auction in Chicago |
[Jul. 3rd, 2009|11:03 pm] |
Gun that killed Dillinger up for auction
A Colt Army Special revolver used by East Chicago, Ind., police Capt. Timothy A. O'Neil to fatally shoot John Dillinger could be yours for what auctioneers say may be much more than their conservative $8,000 to $12,000 estimate.
And this sentence from the article caught my eye:
An image of the gun, owned by O'Neil's family, will be projected on a screen at auction because Chicago bans handguns and automatic weapons within city limits.
Silly Chicago-ans... |
