Today, as I do every day, I shall not judge anyone by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
I’m sure both sides of the political spectrum can agree on that. (Yes, that’s sarcasm.)

Tippers are more attractive to the opposite sex and their chainsaws always start on the first pull. The links are below. Thanks.

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
All I ask is that you’re a good neighbor. A few small things like not trying to steal from others. Not harming children or animals (I accept shooting a bad dog or such as needful). Controlling your animals and children from harming others.
Not forcing your sexual antics on me and mine, same with religion and politics (often them same lately).
Community support by not having uncontrolled burns in dry conditions and high winds. Not exactly a good neighbor thing to fling flaming bits into our yards and homes.
I suppose I ask too much? Most of my neighbors seem to do these things pretty well, and sometimes we gang up to provide snow shoveling for neighbors that struggle with that.

Back in So. Cal., (pre 2015) me and the boys would have our Annual 45.70 MLK Birthday Weekend Shoot in Anza Borrego desert on the western edge of the Naval bombing range. The buddy with the Class lll license had to notify local law enforcement when keeping MG’s out overnight. Nobody ever messed with us. We took more than 45.70’s. That’s where I got to shoot a Ma Deuce, an MG 42 (1100-1200 rpm!!!), a WWll M1 Thompson 45 auto (5-600 rpm), a 45 auto, M-3 Grease gun, car-15/M-16 and more, several times over about a 10 year period. Great memories.
