New Poll

April 3, 2008 on 2:31 pm | In Uncategorized | 9 Comments

I’m curious, what caliber is your carry gun?

I’ve listed a good selection of calibers and I apologize if I left anyone’s out. Just leave me a note in comments.

You are free to choose up to three answers, so choose wisely.

The poll will close on BAG (buy a gun) day, otherwise known as April 15th (tax day).

Racing for Nothing

April 3, 2008 on 1:10 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

From The East Tennessean:

A three-and-a-half mile race through the tree streets led to 316 running shoes stampeding through the rain. The early rainy winds did not deter runners from coming out Saturday morning for the fifth annual “Take Back the Night 5k race.”

In rain gear and running shoes, 158 runners gathered to race for the safety of women and children.

All the proceeds go to programs that support survivors of sexual violence, including the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners at Johnson City Medical Center.

The proceeds from the race do go to a good cause, but while participating in this race might make the participants feel good, it does nothing to ensure the safety of women and children. Wouldn’t it be better to prevent these women and children from becoming victims and survivors in the first place?

If they really wanted to do something to protect those at risk, they would, for all that wanted it, donate a sidearm and training to use it.

Perhaps when I win the lottery I’ll start such a charity. One can dream, can’t they?

I get SPAM

Spamity Spam, Wonderful Spam!

…if only!

I would have not believed the amount of SPAM comments my itty bitty blog would attract when I first moved from Blogger to my own domain/server. I’ve only been on my own for fourteen days now and I’ve recieved thirty three SPAMs as of this posting. Now if I were getting paid for it…

…if only!

…and for some reason, they all think I want to buy prescription drugs over the internet from someone I’ve never met and from God knows where from. I’m going to be putting this stuff in my body!

…anyway!

Since we’re on the topic, I thought I’d leave you with a classic…

After consulting the documentation, I’ve added Next-Previous Post links to the bottom of the single post pages. The Next-Previous Page links have always been at the bottom of the main blog pages.

So, click on a post title to bring up a single post or leave a comment, and let me know how it’s working for you.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the ability to subscribe to comments on each post. I added it a while ago but never mentioned it. The link to subscribe can be found under the comment box when you go to make a comment.
