So…How was everyone’s day?
I promised myself that on Election Day, I wouldn’t watch the news until late evening. There was no possible way they had any useful facts…

(This post should have magically posted itself at midnight but didn’t. Another Blogger herp.) Today is Election day (in the United States). If you’re an…
Economic mobility and why it’s desperately important
(Yes, I said almost two weeks ago “in a day or two”. I plead excellent fall weather. There’s nothing like making hay while the sun…
Here’s a little something to keep you up nights
America descending into a Marxist state. Yeah, that’s like an all meat pizza at 12:30 AM, minus the heartburn. You still going to stay up,…
My Google-fu is weak today
I’m looking for a copy of the original Saturday Night Live opening theme by the Saturday Night Live Band, the one from the 70s or…
I am happy to announce
That the entire blogroll and all the pieces thereof has been restored, reorganized, dead wood pruned and all that. Thanks for the patience.
Still at it
I’ve been working on things around the house lately, a part of the “new normal” for my no-so-old retired self. Some of it has been…
Guns, the Second Amendment and what you should hear from Clinton and Trump
What John Lott has to say on the subject.
And the rebuilding fun goes on. And on. And on.
Still trying to get all the links back in. If Blogger would cooperate, they would have been finished by now, but the last two attempts…
We are experiencing technical difficulties
It seems Blogger has managed to lose the Blogroll and every other link on the left side. Please stand by. Update One: It seems that…

As Charlotte burns
We almost made it through the summer without the predicted “long, hot summer of discontent” coming to pass. Almost. The last couple of weeks…well, just…
Alert! One of the Seven Seals has been broken!
I have managed to purchase .22 LR ammo at a Walmart without any extra jumping through hoops such as knowing someone, arriving at some special…
Catching up on range time
I will say one thing for being involuntarily retired–you have time to catch up on things that you don’t have time to do when you’re…
Networking
As someone who has been involved at some level or another in survivalism, or it’s most recent incarnation, prepping, since the 70s, I’ve seen a…
“It’s a recession is when your neighbor losses his job…”
But it’s a depression when you lose yours. If you have any interest in economics, you’ll recognize that joke. It’s a great joke, until it…
Free as in beer
From the email inbox, USGS 7.5 minute topo maps in pdf format, set up to be printed on you printer. Hillshading, meant to give you…
Well I don’t care for this one iota
(Via the Drudge Report) Maybe it’s time to measure me for a tinfoil hat. Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate…
A little something from the Washington Post on the American Redoubt
(Via the Drudge Report) My-oh-my, but the word on preppers is getting around. Even the Washington Post appears to take them seriously. By the standards…
After the Fall
Like many preppers, I do have the guilty pleasure of reading “doomer porn”, otherwise known as post-apocalyptic fiction (some would say science fiction). One of…
Yes Bob, yes they are
I picked this up from Michael Bane on Failbook. It’s worth reading about, oh, 25 times. You’re Too Stupid For This Conversation You Insist On…
You think it is going to get worse before it gets better?
John Mauldin thinks it is going to get worse as well. Much worse. Mauldin’s normally optimistic outlook has become somewhat tempered in the last year…
There are days
There are days, as my sainted mother would have said, that “just make your ass tired.” Hey, my momma could swear like a sailor. I’ve…

Mike Vanderboegh, husband, father of three, and founder of the III% movement passed peacefully in his beloved Alabama homeyesterday. Mike was not everyone’s cup of…
Where has this been all my life?
(Via Recomendo) A method in which “cords and charging cables will stay wrapped, won’t get tangled, and are very easy to unwrap.” I suspect it…
My pick for President of the United States
The noise of the nominating conventions is finally over. On one side, the gears are grinding as the monkey wrench known as Donald Trump continues…
Bu-bu-but guns never solve anything!
(Via the Drudge Report) One of the many whines of the leftist gun grabbers is that violence/guns/whatever it is they don’t like this week never…
A triumph of socialism
(Via the Drudge Report) Grocery shopping in Venezuela, er, Columbia. I remember a class I took, probably 15 years ago now, with an instructor who…
In case your nose hasn’t been rubbed in it enough
It’s not about guns, it’s about control, part 1,456. But very well done and some good quotes you can use to snag people for our…
