Sorry folks, had this thing called “work” interfere. Doesn’t look like it’ll ease up for the near future, either. So it goes.

Um, Ed, it’s blank, but I do have a ‘feel good story” anyway.
The men who are responsible for shooting a 9-year-old boy to death, with multiple gunshot wounds, have been on trial for several weeks. The prosecution rested its case yesterday.

I hope they get the maximum sentence with no parole, period. They are below the level of scum.
Blank as Navy’s side of the scoreboard during that gridiron competition held the FIRST Saturday in December. Is our main man working too hard? The Mrs keeping him preoccupied by making rather merry into the wee hours of the morning? Has he already gotten into the Merlot that was reserved for the Thursdays are for cooking segment?
On the Chitcongo story, I’m of the opinion that they should pass some gunz laws to keep these gunz out of the hands of the criminal element. If they would outlaw gunz in that area the murder rate would go way down. Oh…wait… Never mind!
Here’s another thought. Public hangings. Film at 11.
I’m putting up a good, tasty and easy recipe today. Meantime, entertain yourself with a little Macchiavelli in the Morning.
Autumn comfort food?! 🙂
You betcha!
How ‘bout a feel bad story?
So a ‘cannabis cafe’ opened in Commiefornia this week. The Hollyweird elites have found another revenue source from their braindead tributaries addictions!
Go psychosis!
One Soma aficionado stated thusly:
‘This is the greatest thing that the United States has implemented into its culture in a while,’ said the 22-year-old law student as he smoked a joint and nibbled on mac and cheese bites and a chicken sandwich with a friend at [the cafe]. We’re pretty stoned right now,’ he added, grinning. ‘We’re enjoying the day, the music’s good, the weather’s good and we’re in California.’
There’s always been a rumor on military installations about a 1911, a match, scissors and a single round in the ‘truck’ at the HQ’s building 1. Putting my climbing shoes on meow, anyone care to join?

I just drew a blank on a blank screen.
I posted a link to an article about the prosecution of the gangbangers who shot a 9-year-old boy in Chicago. They bragged about it while in prison. They are facing the consequences now.
Over at Bayou Renaissance Man, there is a feel good story where an attempted car thief tried to break into a car using the butt of his shotgun to break the glass. The gun went off resulting in a DRT.

The Whiz Wheel®™ spins up the following score for today’s Darwin Award Winner:

Thanks for filling in, y’all. Even that dirt diggin’ doggy cannon cocker. Back on an even keel now, we’ll see what tomorrow will bring.
Welcome Home! You good? You were missed, but don’t tell nobody I said so. My Thanks too, for the posters that stepped up. I roamed around, lost in the innerwebznet thingie for several hours this morning. The struggle was real.
Working: got the money, but no time to go play.
Retired: got the time to go play, but no money.
Very decent score overall, specially when you add in the extras. Whiz Wheel made need some depot level work, has run up some high scores of late.
That thar autoloading baby hand cannon shore would look nice tucked away IWB.
Doc appointment FIRST thing in the morning, then a K Roger provision run. Good luck wishes to the Friday WOT F5 abusers.
Takeaways from today’s three feel good stories: Incident one–don’t bring a crowbar to a gunfight; incident two–discretion can be the better part of valor, anyway for that thief/burglar; incident three–smoking hemp will not get you high, but you could spin some fine rope, if you don’t bleed out from a gunshot wound.
We hear you on that work thing…I am suddenly busier than I’ve been in months…a very, very good thing.
But it does interfere with more enjoyable pursuits…
On topic, no tears shed over shit heads getting what they deserve…
