I ran into bigun early last week in front of the little neighborhood grocery in Munford that sold that $500+ Million lottery ticket last year. We got to talking about the lottery which jogged my feeble memory of something I intended to do last year but kept putting it off. I sent the following to my House Rep. In Nashville. There was more to it, samples of reasons and such but this was the meat of it. Maybe if this is brought up by House Reps. and State Senators from all over the state it could get done. I can’t think of one single reason why anyone would be against it except for those who are anti-lottery. I’m writing to request legislation be passed that would allow lottery winners in our state to remain anonymous. There are currently seven states that allow winners to remain anonymous if they desire and I believe Tennessee should be added to that group. I’m sure this could be passed by our representatives and Governor, which would be the easiest way, but if placed on the ballot of a general election I believe it would be approved by at least 95% of the voters.

Some like it hot. Some are crazy. I eat most any hot sauce, currently in my fridge are various habanero, ghost pepper, and scorpion pepper sauces. I'm apparently crazy. However, a week ago, I discovered a sauce at Aldi. It isn't all that hot to me (my taste may be biased towards the hotter sauces), but it has an amazing flavor. I've tried the "Chipotle" so far. It isn't that hot but has an amazing smoky flavor. I've nearly been drinking the stuff. It quickly became one of my favorite sauces of all time. So today, I went back to Aldi to purchase all the flavors. Only $1.89 each. I asked the cashier at checkout if that was something they normally stocked, she said that she didn't think so and thought it was for the Super Bowl time period. I may go back and buy all of them.

Sorry for the quality but I snapped this just before sunrise and found out it's Venus, the moon and then Jupiter. I knew when I looked up in the sky it seemed different which caused me to snap the photo. Anyway...there it is.

These teams are playing like whoever wins has to go to the White House.

Both of these are my go to places.

While looking for a leather OWB for my Sig X-Carry I happened upon this site. I do not represent them and the photos are used without permission, but there are some very unique holsters on this site. If you have the time take a look.... https://www.savoyleather.com/product-category/holsters/

I don’t want to know how YOU know that.

Nope. .22 short

A house bill is going to be introduced to provide Self Defense Immunity, similar to the one in FL. I hope they will tweek it, so that it doesn't have the pitfall of the one in FL. Write your representatives. Ask your state senator to sponsor a sister bill in the senate. And, follow progress at TFA.

So 9mm is the baseline?

My wife recently picked me up some gochujang based sauce from Kroger's and I really like the flavor. Not super hot but it really enhances the flavor of the dishes I have tried it with. Like Garufa, my hot sauce collection is already to big, some of my old favorites don't get used, but I am tempted to try some Aldi's Chipotle.

Did anybody tell you that the new guy buys the beer?

SG Ammo. Good prices with quick shipping. I like their packaging. When I buy a case instead of just attaching a shipping label, they enclose the case in another box. Double the protection against UPS breaking it open in shipment.

Don't have a dog in this fight, so that's what my opinion is worth. Agree with the previous post on warranty, don't need it or really need it. It appears a great warranty, but poor turn times which add to customer frustration. Results are the folks with issues get really loud on the internet. Folks with solid guns don't post much for fear of being ridiculed for buying one. If I was looking at budget friendly handguns, for a few bucks more, I'd probably revisit Ruger

Friends don’t let friends buy Taurus’s.....

Shared this one with my son last weekend. He's 35 and has great taste in music.That's a gift from his mother.

You did it...now we will have a foot of now this week...lol

Well...OK. Though this little tale isn't nearly as embarrassing nor foolish as some of the childish stunts my same age cousin and I pulled back then. We were about 9 years old, and like kids of the late 50s were fond of doing. We were playing army of some sort. So my Dad comes in from work and hands me a really, really HUGE package of Black Cat Firecrackers. (You know this isn't going to end well...don't you.) So my cousin Carson and I tore into them and very quickly tired of just lighting and throwing them. You see what's coming, right? Yep, that's it. We started throwing them at each other. But that just really wasn't satisfying enough. Not enough, make-believe blood, guts and gore for us. Being all American red-blooded little soldiers. It degraded quickly thereafter. We hit upon the idea of making hand grenades to toss. You know just for fun. Sure. We made I don't know how many mud grenades, used a stick to make a hole in them, and set them out to dry. But as it was late, we had to postpone the war until the next day. Come morning, Carson and I snuck out with a cigarette each and a bunch of the aforementioned firecrackers. We each had a flour sack. Some of you older geezers remember those I guess. Sat down and put a firecracker in each one, and loaded up our flour sacks. Then proceeded to light the cigs and commence trying to kill each other. Dried mud balls didn't react quite how we thought they would, especially after all that time to harden. They did "explode" to a degree. Mostly just into small, shrapnel-like pieces. But being to energetic and foolish to stop, we ran around the trees throwing them. all the while trying to find cover so as not to get hit too much. Now...remember that little shed from the start of this tale? That's right. That one. I proceeded to run inside and hide, throwing those dried mud grenades thru the open side of the shed. Well, those hornets didn't like the noise and pieces of dirt hitting the walls. A few started buzzing around and checking out the situation. About that time...Carson did a double up on me. Threw 2 inside. And of course the hit near that nest, and went off. That set off the whole nest, I think. I ran. They flew out with me. I ran for Carson, wanting to share the fun. lol We both got stung several times before getting into the house, where we spent most of the day. Now wasn't that long version better than just saying I got stung while in the shed? lol
