I guess I'm saying I have a problem with any blanket condemnation of teachers in general, based on the years I put in not only going to public schools, but also as a public school teacher. I have never agreed with the whole "guilt by association" smear tactic idea or the hate it spreads. I've...
The following was sent to Braun, Young and Walorski via email and will mailed snail-mail tomorrow:
Dear ( ),
As you are probably already aware, there are hundreds of laws already in place that regulate what firearms Indiana citizens may own, how these firearms can be used, and where these...
I've bought several handguns from them. It is a good idea to wait for a sale. Never had an issue. Helpful staff, polite and friendly. I purchased a Ruger LCP at their old place on Lincolnway. The frame chipped at the take-out pin and Ruger sent me a new LCP (Great Customer Service). I had them...
Raised beds for my tomatoes. Horse manure in the fall over everything. Finely ground egg shells help prevent end rot on tomatoes and help keep some pests away. We seem to do well with peas, green beans and potatoes but, the pure pleasure of picking and devouring that first garden-fresh tomato...
Pretty much not going to happen. You really didn't need to include the lightening strike and the Powerball win in your illustration of the probability of this happening. The chances of me getting a date with Sofia were enough.
Not sure if this could happen with today's technology, but... A bad guy shoots someone, say, in Little Rock and doesn't get caught. He moves to Indy, shoots another person using the same weapon, but gets caught. Time passes and the gun goes to auction, is purchased, sold a few times through...
At my church's Safety & Security team meeting we just completed our second trauma training session last night. The first session focused on tourniquets, injury assessment and how fast an injury can make you dead. Last night we learned about and practiced wound packing(if you can pack your own...
I got to see BB King at the ACC, Notre Dame. He was a class act. ND used to have annual Blues Festivals. Many of the old timer Chicago blues legends used to perform at the Stephan Center on campus. Guys with names like; Mississippi John Hurt or Mississippi Fred McCullough, and of course...
Rossi .44 mag lever rifle, Redhawk in .44 mag, Remi 870 w/rifled barrel and CVA Wolf in .50 for BP season. When I use a long gun , I also carry an old Blackhawk in .357. I have yet to take a deer with the Redhawk, but I'll keep at it.
I'm applying 4 tests to the accuser (witness) to see how her testimony stacks up. 1) Was the witness there? 2) Does the witness have credibility? 3) Is there corroboration to their testimony? 4) Does the witness have anything to gain from their testimony? #1) She says she was there and so was...
It's sad anytime a teen takes their own life. I have a few questions about the numbers. How many trans-gender teen males are we talking about? If the number of male trans-gender teens in the general population is low, as I would expect, any number of suicides will represent a high percentage...
If you ever plan on traveling to England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales and you want to rent a car, most of your options will be with a manual tranny. And, you will be shifting with your left hand while driving on the "wrong" side of the road. Manuals are really a lot more fun to drive in curvy...
This year at the Winamac Family Shoot, I sent 2 or 3 new shooters that were cross-eye dominant to Actaeon. He has had to learn how to adjust himself. Experience is a good teacher. (And so is Actaeon, BTW).
Didn't teach at Plymouth H.S. I was fortunate to have graduated from Riley HS in South Bend, teach at the old Riley High School and retire from new Riley. One of the young ladies in the pictures is a former Chem student of mine.
