Here's a webpage showing one of the cabins. Looks comfy!

Sorry that I have been so scarce...

The flu strain this year has been laying people low.

You can forget the flu shot--shaking a witch doctor's rattle would be more effective!

Any table will do . . . and not even the JWs will think of looking for you there!

How to stop mass shootings.

The NRA has spent millions of dollars on gun safety programs, and accidents involving guns have been dropping steadily.

The NRA hosts shooting competitions, provides hunter education, provides courses to law enforcement, and promotes conservation.

It is a GRASSROOTS organization of over 5 million members.

In the 1970s the NRA leadership came to the realization that the anti-gun people would never be placated, would never be satisfied, until total civilian ownership of firearms was abolished. It then resolved to fight back--hard.

The NRA defeated legislative proposals to ban ammunition that would penetrate so-called "bullet-proof" vests. Why? Because that ill-conceived legislation would have banned ALL rifle hunting and match ammunition!

The NRA stopped cities from conducting warrantless "inspections" of public housing--which mainly affected poor black families. Elite whites believed that blacks had no right to own guns or protect themselves.

The NRA defeated proposed legislation that would have outlawed any firearm capable of having a 30-round magazine inserted. Why? Because any firearm that would accept a 5-round magazine would also accept a 30-round magazine!

The NRA stopped funding of "junk science" studies, like the one that claimed you are six times more likely to be killed with your own gun than that of an intruder. It was total, unfounded garbage--and taxpayers' dollars were being used to fund an anti-gun agenda put forth by liberals.

The NRA supported the instant background check system, which is now in place all over the country--and WOULD work if the FBI would just do its job.

The NRA has defended honest, decent, law abiding citizens who used a gun to protect themselves, but were prosecuted by liberal, agendized prosecutors.

The NRA sponsors the "Refuse to be a Victim" program, which shows people how to avoid criminal attack--with or without a gun.

The NRA has sponsored women's firearms instruction and shooting classes. Liberals, however, would rather see a woman dead, with her panties around her ankles, rather than to see her successfully deter her attacker. In fact, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that women were incapable of defending themselves with firearms!

But there are people who hate the NRA because they have not been able to get their anti-gun agendas made into law because of staunch NRA opposition. And without that opposition, the right to keep and bear arms would have been whittled away, one stupid gun law at a time.

Americans have a tradition of freedom and independence. They have owned guns for over 200 years, and used them to win their independence and expand into the West. Only until the last few decades have we seen an explosion of nut jobs misusing guns in an effort to gain fame and glory for themselves.

It's not the guns--it's the unraveling of our society. A few decades ago, laws were passed making it virtually impossible to spank your misbehaving child. All of this was done under the guise of "preventing child abuse." So we had a generation or two of unruly kids who never really learned to respect others or play by any rules.

And, no, we don't want to give up our guns because of the nut jobs. Let's ban the nut jobs instead of blaming their misdeeds on inanimate objects.

Job Fairs.

Back in the old days, HR departments would post ads requiring the candidates to be male, between 25 and 35, and be married.

Why?

Because they knew that a married man would put up with more s**t from the employer because he had a family to support, whereas a single male or female would tell them to go eff themselves and walk out the door.

The legend of the sack man.

So, Nix, if you saw a big guy coming up the road with a steel fishing pole and burlap bag thrown over his shoulder . . . and he comes right up to your door and knocks . . .

Whatcha gonna do? ;-)

I found out that the myth of the Sack Man is all over the world!

Must be something to it! ;-)

We were thinking about DeSoto State Park in Alabama. There's a waterfall there, really nice cabins, a restaurant and nature trails.

It's not too far, either, from Little River Canyon, which is a must see. We were there last summer--and it was great!

Sounds wonderful! I've never been there

You'd love it. Even the Bigfoots there are very polite and accommodating!
