Which Header Graphic?

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Spring is in full swing now so maybe it’s time the header graphic above had something without snow in it. Looking through all of the vacation photos I found a number of images any one of which would make for a good header graphic. But before choosing one here they all are…. The Alamo #1

Diazinon

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

It’s spring and time to start the putting pesticides on the yard and woods close to the house to keep down the pests including moles. The Missus is at Wally World for something else so I ask her to pickup 2 bags for the spring application. She finds all kinds of “grub control” products but [...]

ATF Nabs Ninja

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

You know this would all be appropriate if it wasn’t the ATF that nabbed the ninja. Imagine a contingent of agents surrounding a college kid with guns drawn! Why am I consistently detecting fear among law enforcement? Hm.. those concerns would make a good stand alone post later maybe. Anyway, if the same thing happened [...]

Google Calendar

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Google has launched their Calendar. It pretty much looks and works like most web based calendars but with Google’s flare for interfaces. Anyone out there still using Outlook in a stand alone environment may want to seriously take a look.

Rising Gas Prices – Again

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

It’s that time of year when the refineries have to setup all the different boutique mixes the EPA has mandated for various locations around the country. If Congress wanted to do one thing that would greatly reduce overhead for the refineries it would be to take these arbitrary powers away from the EPA and allow [...]

Whither Conservative Principles?

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Someone please tell me again how Bush is a “conservative”? I seem to ask this a lot especially when I read how Bush is catering to the “radical right wing”. If anyone truely believes that then they haven’t a clue…… Not like that would be news either.

Look who killed the immigration reform bill

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Wow some got it mostly right! Amazing….. Though the author did leave out the part about Reid stopping Republicans from removing the illegals == felons portion so Reid could lambast the Republicans over it later and leverage with the Immigration groups. Which he did.

Hostettler slams lack of arrests at rallies

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

That’s my boy! Rep John Hostettler slams lack of arrests at rallies. “It was stunning to realize that so many lawbreakers concentrated in one area were given a free pass by federal law enforcement,” said Rep. John Hostettler, chairman of the immigration and border security panel on the House Judiciary Committee. “The administration demonstrated once [...]

Indiana State Police Replace Troubled Guns

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

When the Indiana State Police decided it was time to get rid fo their Beretta 92′s the Glock 22 was a logical choice considering the Glock adoption trends in law enforcement across the country. The 22 is a solid, reliable piece on the conditions that, like any firearm, it’s taken care of and fed a [...]

Wasp Traps

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Much to my chagrin it is that time of year again. Already I’ve been chased from my workshop by a dozen wasps and chased from the logs I was cutting by the same small black hornets that nailed me before. So this is a good time to remind everyone, myself included, to start saving your [...]
