Be careful, falls on ice are a leading cause of broken hips in the

holding the high 70s, not really "florida friendly" but tolerable. The
last cold snap took it down to 73. Now it is only suitable to guys

I imagine our kids will get in next week. They are Northern Michigan

More like North Atlantic waters 3 months of the year.....max.

When I was there it was more like -2C

Of course, it may be that the roundabouts are the most dangerous things in MA. :)

Not at all. The most dangerous thinga in MA are Boston drivers making
left hand turns from the middle and right lanes.


I think it is the fallacy that Bostonians can drive safely.

True story
Today my wife is directing traffic in the country club, sending people
to the overflow parking. A lady says she wants to park next to the
building because she is disabled ... BLIND!
She popped out with a white cane and tip tapped herself inside.

YIKES!



Anther true story. We were tieing down the boat to the trailer, and a lady
pulls up next to us after dropping the boat in the water. I guess husband
is with boat. She informs us she is legally blind.

"Did your Canadian ancestors not hunt to survive? I'm pretty sure they
did. And what about that delightful custom of clubbing baby seals to
death that some of your countrymen seem to enjoy? "


"seem to enjoy"???
They were harvesting the seals for their pelts...so they could sell same pelts and put food on the table for their families.

I see hypocrisy is not limited to Calvert County Maryland.
Tim was going to put that rabbit on his table too. If the fur was
valuable enough, he would sell that too.



Never understood the concept of a lucky rabbit's foot.
How lucky was the rabbit?


Damn lucky it's still got three legs to hop around on!

Probably, but the replacement for the Colt looks like your run of the

How are you feeling, by the way? On the road to recovery, I hope.
Actually Im feeling rather well, thanks for asking. Yesterday, I went to the dr. for a follow up, and will start cardio-therapy at my local hospital next week. Still got a ways to go but the immediate dangers are over, at least that's the popular opinion...
Nice! Keep it up, Tim.

Yeah...that makes a lot of sense.
Celebrate surviving a potential life threatening situation by killing something else.
That seems so 'merican!


Go eat your commercially-killed cheeseburger and STFU.

I asked him if he ate meat. He wouldn't respond. I reckon he's a vegan or something.
Wonder if he wears plastic shoes and belts and work gloves.

Johnny....we're not talking about me.
We have a regular who came through a traumatic episode and the first thing you recommend is going out for some shoot'in and kill'in. Does that seem logical to you?
