I went to the ophthalmologist, and he didn’t pronounce any new eye ailments. He didn’t pronounce any old ones cured, either. And he didn’t seem surprised that eye drops aren’t getting it done, for the right eye that has the … Continue reading →

Eye appointment this morning. Let’s see: First time it was glaucoma. Then it was glaucoma AND cataracts. Maybe this time they’ll give me plague?

Via Jerking the Trigger, Magpul offers Colorado lawmakers a parting shot… Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents’ ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that … Continue reading →

Isn’t that odd. You remember the other day, how I told you LB found me in the Wash and Ghost was about fifty yards behind? Which didn’t really make any sense, because Ghost’s the runner. Over any distance at all … Continue reading →

I promised to deliver some sand to one of H’s horse enclosures today. I promised it would be this afternoon, but as the morning progressed it was clear the temperature would get no better and the wind would get considerably … Continue reading →

It’s a little shameful, and I’ll fully understand if, after I have disclosed this thing, you ask me to take my stupid blog and go home. But I feel that in the name of honesty among friends, a full confession … Continue reading →

Ain’t gonna help you, Chuckles. The ones you’re afraid of will remain out of your sight and out of your hands, no matter what laws you pass. Universal registration? Some of us don’t live in your universe. H/T to Snarkybytes.

I’ve got to get a hasp for the Gitmo door. The prisoners keep escaping. Maybe I didn’t latch it right, or maybe there was a freak gust of wind, I don’t know. All I know is they were there (or … Continue reading →

You think it’s gonna go away and leave you alone for a while, but then it turns around and drops the bomb. Saturday Ian came out and wanted to shoot a Forgotten Weapons video, something I’m always happy to help … Continue reading →

“I don’t negotiate through the press.” = “You’ll be told what to do when I think it’s time.” Come see the violence inherent in the system, as your beloved republican protectors “negotiate” away your ability to (openly) exercise your natural … Continue reading →

I think the rest of the nation would take it as a kindness if Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon were to seize those California Department of Food and Agriculture border checkpoints and turn their guns the other way and start shaking … Continue reading →

I like this! Needs more bagpipe, though. Sons of Liberty Frank Turner Once an honest man could go from sunrise to its set Without encount’ring agents of his state or government But a sorry cloud of tyranny has fallen across … Continue reading →

We stole the pith helmets from some Brit soldiers in a drunken pub brawl somewhere outside Gaza, as I recall. Could be wrong about that. Ian’s still got the Lewis gun, which is why I’m so polite to him. Gad, … Continue reading →

Ammo Prices Have Doubled Since December At ‘America’s Largest Gun Shop’ Hyatt says the talk around his shop these days is that, next week, it’ll cut the number of rounds allowed per purchase in half – and the week after … Continue reading →

Yeah, those. Seems LET didn’t like the heat. Note they don’t say they’ve stopped selling them. They’ve just been “taken offline.” I expect a “military and law enforcement only” version is still very much available. You can’t expect law enforcement … Continue reading →

You remember Comet? He’s been gone since October. Well, Felice the Mare remembers Comet. And the moment they were put in together, she threw a screaming, stomping fit. Not in a good way. And Comet, not at all reformed, proceeded … Continue reading →

Who names these things? And when did “they” start naming snowstorms, anyway? When I lived in Michigan, we just called it “Winter.”

(Via Weer’d, who has more interesting things to say about it than I do.) Why, O Wise One, do you even feel a need to ‘change the gun culture?’ Other than its obvious childish absurdity, that is? Y’know, I want … Continue reading →

Heh. From Codrea’s Gun Rights Examiner.

Not really all that cold according to the thermometer, thanks to the heavy cloud cover. But the wind is a’howlin’. Not even Ghost wants to go outside, which is the best measure of miserable weather I’ve got. Yesterday I got … Continue reading →
