Monday morning feel good story
In Bradenton, Florida, a serious chickenshit tried to rob a friends house armed with a knife. He pried a window open and climbed in. The homeowner merely confronted him and the little weasel ran off. Sorry, no guns, just courage. The police have been issued a warrant for the man’s arrest.
However in New Orleans, Louisiana, a couple was rebuilding their house after it burned. They say that pipes and wires have been the targets of thieves three times in the last week. When they were driving by the home the other day, they saw an uninvited guest enter the structure, so hubby went and confronted the fellow. Then he shot him twice, once in each leg, which made it easier for the police to scoop him up.
In Salisbury, North Carolina, a watchman at a flea market facility encountered a scruffy looking fellow breaking into vending machines. When he addressed the fellow, the thieve raised a crowbar above his head and approached the wathman who then fired his .38 revolver. he’s not sure if he hit the guy, but he does know that he un-assed AO quickly. Thanks to Chief Tango for that link.

Happy to see these accomplishments this early in the morning, especially the one about the homeowners confronting construction materials thieves. Copper is used for plumbing and wiring. We all know that but the price you can get for it per pound is now a premium at recycling centers. It’s higher than aluminum.
When I have a lawn mower accident, I coiled up the remnants of the extension cord (electric mower, best for small yards) and am saving it, cat food cans, soda cans, and any junked cookware for a nice trip to the recycling center. Copper wiring and piping is almost (not quite) worth more than gold and is easier to get.
What the hell is “un-assed”???
Un-assed is milspeak for “quickly removed”
On the flip side, we don’t use it as the opposite, “assed”, or at least I’ve never seen it used.
Always wondered if after un-assing the bus, do we re-ass it when we are ready to go?
No DRT/DOT? Oh well, you can’t win ’em all.
Alas Old Trooper, we can’t Feel Good every day I guess.
