A third mass murder in 8 days in California. What's going on out there?
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Only thing I can see is you mowing. Is there another animal I'm missing?
Highly restrictive gun laws for law abiding citizens? Gun free zones? Obama's fast and furious? The land of tolerance? Cali seceding from reality? Everybody wants to be a star?
Good Morning D
Just came inside and we have a perfect weather day today. It is 60° and will hit 78° by this afternoon. Plenty of sunshine with a brisk breeze off of the Gulf. Very pleasant and a nice day to be outside.
We finished up War and Remembrance last night. It is a powerful miniseries. The first miniseries was Winds of War. Both have about a dozen episodes that last approximately 2 hours each episode. It is a series that will keep your eyes glued to the screen the entire time. Never Forget.
I trust all are well.

For the first time in my lifetime, that I can recall, Californians are in our area of the state. We are a long way for someone to just pull up stakes and move their business and family.
I have talked to several transplant Californians and they have horror stories to tell. Most of the new comers are in the medical field and a few are starting their small business back up. They closed the doors in California and left for good.
They say even the Beverly Hillbillies have left and returned to the South. I have two cousins in that group.
They both moved out to California during the 60's and raised their families there. Later my aunt and uncle retired to the area, metro Los Angeles. The aunt and uncle are dead and the two boys just couldn't handle it anymore. Their businesses were looted, robbed and the cost of living outrageous. One went to Mississippi and the other went to Tennessee. Both are happy now.
They're trying to pass another wealth tax on the filthy rich in California but it's not just for residents. It will also be for those that have fled to other states to get away. Handcuffed even if you've lived in Florida for years.For the first time in my lifetime, that I can recall, Californians are in our area of the state.

Good morning D-League!

That last line made me think of the "happy cows" ad that used to run on TV. Those cows were on heroin, crack, and weed, and we all knew it. The only happy California cows are now transplants. The ones still in Cali were long ago labeled domestic terrormists.
No....just me mowing. I usually use the weedeater on the hill, but was testing the bear. It stayed the entire time I mowed and I'm about 25-30 yards away in the pic. At this point I decided to take up the feeder. I figured that little bear would cause problems when it got bigger.
BTW, a fella I know (realtor) was visiting one of my properties. I was looking for someone to landscape the place and there was a crew next door. We started talking to them and turns out one of them mentioned he was from California. Moved to KY and was looking for a house.
After talking about all of the problems in Cali, my friend, even though he knew he might lose a customer, looked at him and said, "I hope you're not bringing to KY the (paraphrased) liberal politics you ran from there." EVERYbody but that man had a good laugh at that. The man just looked down at the trailer in front of him. No home sale for my friend, but he said it was definitely worth it.

Sorry. I just got so excited to find another bear in that photo that I nearly went crosseyed.
No death penalty, early release of prisoners, prisons not harsh enough, criminals run the state.
I have a lot of bear (and other critters) pictures, but will need to limit them or I'll run out. Speaking of going cross eyed I may have a good "next" pic if I can find it. I don't have a ton of them on FB and not sure I can access some of the other places I may have them.
They will make it work somehow. What makes it even more complicated is that it's a net worth tax, not an income tax. I didn't read the entire article on Fox but if passed it'll only apply to billionaires beginning in 2024. 1 1/2% tax on net worth. Beginning in 2026 a 1% tax will apply to net worth of 50 million to 1 billion. Over 1 billion will still be taxed 1 1/2%. An accounting nightmare.
New York is doing the same thing.
I doubt very seriously that the U.S. Supreme Court will allow California government to collect taxes on Florida citizens unless they are making the income in California.
I have only done business for the railroad in California. I never fell in love the the West coast. They talk about great weather, then comes the fires, the mud slides etc. They can keep it.
Enjoyed some King Oscar Royal Fillets Mackerel in olive oil for lunch. Mackerel contains very high amounts of Omega-3 DHA and EPA. Delicious. Honestly, I never knew what I'd been missing.
I keep these on hand at all times. Today for lunch I had Season Brand Sardines in 100% olive oil. One can has 200 calories, 22g of protein, 28% calcium and 1,700 mg of Omega-3Enjoyed some King Oscar Royal Fillets Mackerel in olive oil for lunch.

Must win game tonight, not a fun situation to be in, but it makes every game interesting...a loss to a 10-9 Vandy team would be a killer on the NCAA hopes. Plus we got Kansas right after that. So we have to get the W.

Soon to be firearms confiscations....watch and see...
There is a jug at the bottom of that tree where the bear is at. Not sure if that is what was meant but there is... Drunken arsed bear..
Never underestimate stupid Sir.... They will try in any event.
Someone please tell communists they are naked....
Scott Rolen made baseball Hall of Fame. He was runner up Mr Basketball in Indiana and recruited by UK for basketball.
Kentucky boy Chris Stapleton to sing the National Anthem at this year's Super Bowl.
Wow. We aren't America anymore. We're just China or medieval Europe a couple hundred years or so after a peasant revolt.... Wait...
Yep. Doesn't matter that it's the psycho and programmed left that are instigating these shootings. They should be BANNING Democrat dogma and dissolving the party.

Taught my daughter to eat these (to my wife's disgust and horror LOL) when she was just 3 1/2 years old. Called them baby salmon (cause she loves some grilled salmon) and she even asked for me to send them IN HER SCHOOL LUNCH when she was 7 yrs old! I was SHOCKED but of course PROUD. I told her they'd be too messy (and saved her the stigma that might have made her never want to eat them again). I just envisioned that scene from Uncle Buck where MC asks the kids at lunch, "anyone want to trade?"
We still eat them together when mommy's not around, so she doesn't get the dry heaves.
Isn't that an apt description of the state and their famous women in general?
I remember when they were among the leaders in promoting natural health, organic and clean foods, low pesticides, recycling, freedom, and getting out into the great outdoors. Their women were beautiful and natural then.
Now they don't know what women are and aren't. The famous ones are more plastic than the garbage island in the pacific, and they want to shoot drugs, heavy metals, and chemicals into everyone regardless of how they feel about it. Talk about hating your enemy so much you become them. Cali is the poster child

I pull out the bones on the mackerel. Never could do sardines. (Just me... I think watching my grandpa eat them turned me off.) Bless my Grandpa, I was with him when he died, I was on leave from the Army at the time. Had to be about 1984 but it was a disgusting site watching him eat sardines out of a can with crackers....
Black bean sauce with freshly made noodles. Inside is potato's, onion's and even some pork, with a sunny side egg (Cost me three dollars.) you could stir it with a fork... Once it's mixed up, you will wolf it right down. It's edible...
Yum, yum...
A staple in our house during my youth. Hobo dinners. Easy prep and clean-up.
My grandpa carried a can in his overalls. He taught me to appreciate them. The man was well into his 80's and still breaking horses and teaching mules to plow. I never saw him eat any junk food. No chips, soft drinks or candy. His was a different generation.
He raised about everything we ate. Sardines were a store bought treat. And Vienna sausages. They were really special.
Hate, hate, hate playing at Vanderbilt. It's almost as bad as watching an Oregon game at Matthew Knight arena. Hate that floor. Did I mention that I hate playing at Vandy. Anyway, here's a big GO CATS!
Gonna go ahead and predict this Vandy vs UK contest.
Vandy 4.0 UK 3.795

My grandpa died at either 72 or 74. He was a off-acting sort in ways you'd only understand if you knew him. He did things differently and not in a good way. I loved him though...
Lewis Teague...
He was wearing a carbide lamp. (He gave me one when I was young. I loved striking that lamp with a little spit to keep it going.) He liked to act liked he worked in the mines but as I was told by a few, he never did. Kind of grifter but he was good to me mostly except for a couple instances.
