Break Time 0

Off to drink liberally, hoping that the storm doesn’t really start until we’re done.

Addendum:

As I write this at about 11:00 p. m., the storm hasn’t amounted to much. There’s been a bit of rain, heavy at times, but really no big deal.

I’ll check the rain gauge (yes, I have a rain gauge) in the morning and report back.

And, yes, those of us who showed up at the DL gathering had a great conversation, ranging from Hammer Films vampire movies to OTR (Old Time Radio). It was a nice break from politics.

Addendum-de-dum-dum:

We got only about half an inch of rain, but the winds kicked up over night; as I look out the window, I see a number of branches, some of them substantial, that were once attached to trees . . . .

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Chip in for a bit of politeness.

Langdale told responding officers that the victim accidentally shot himself while cleaning a hunting rifle. That claim was not initially refuted by the victim since he required emergency surgery after being rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

But when the victim’s health improved enough for a police interview, he told investigators Langdale shot him after warning him not to consume his potato chips.

What was I saying about all those folks shot while cleaning guns?
