  • Spent the first half of my life in Tulsa. If the complex or neighborhood isn’t gated, then at least everyone has fences. Assumed it was like that everywhere.

    Move to Chicago and not only are gated areas really rare, nobody has fences! Weird.

    Now I’m in the South and nothing is gated, fences maybe, maybe not. We don’t even have curbs down here, forget sidewalks, not even in the bougie suburb and nice neighborhoods.

    As a cable guy in Tulsa, we all knew how to get into any gated area. We knew loads of codes and some where predictable, MMYY, 1125 this month. Also, if you have ladders on top of your truck and wear a tool belt, you become invisible.





  • Millipedes come running in this house. Maybe in the fall? Anyway, into the vivarium they go! Good luck with the tiny tarantula. Haven’t seen her in weeks, but I assume she’s hiding under the toy Star Destroyer.

    Would they rather the bigger tank? The one with the random frog and chameleon? Not sure they’d eat millipedes, but I bet they’re not afraid to try.

    And where my blue isopods?! She get hungry?




  • Exactly as I’m seeing it. And I armed and practicing. Not saying, “I have a bunch of guns and ammo so I’m a tough guy!”

    Anyway, went to camp today and sent some .556 armor-piercing down range. Sight is good enough for me, good enough for 100’. Did you know that green-tips drill holes in 1/4" steel? I didn’t! Walked down to look at my target and it looked like I took a drill press to it!

    Anyway, unidentified, warrantless, masked men are targets in my book. Police patches? LOL, anyone can buy those on Amazon. Want a link?

    They’re not here yet, but I have eyes on.

    Yes, I’ll almost certainly die. No, I’m not letting them take my brown, legal wife.

    We don’t have them in NW Florida, but I dated a girl down south, and yeah, they fall out of trees when it gets cold (for Florida values of cold). She told me about this and I couldn’t stop laughing. “Seriously?! They just plop in the yard and on people’s heads?!”
