Well, except for the fact that it goes against the grain of the Constitution and the right to bare arms plus it goes against the legal codes of the states that do allow a person to legally carry a firearm concealed or otherwise it doesn't bother me one bit that Target were Gun Free Zone because I have only been in one of their stores one time and was looking for their fishing section and I was informed they didn't have one so never went back and don't ever plan to plus adding that target is owned by a French Corporation located in France.................jmho

Nice gun if you want to stop a car coming at you at 50 MPH and kill the driver by shooting them through the engine block or hitting them with the engine block................... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Every time the Feds move anything of any importance they always have a decoy truck or maybe even two and no one knows what they are hauling in most cases and never learn what they just delivered either. Knew a few drivers back several years ago that reached retirement and just retired and they drove them trucks about 10 or 15 years. All they said about it was a job and paid good.

When Kasey was younger like up until age 7 she was not afraid of anything. It could come thunder and lightening and rain like hell and I would try and get her to come inside and she refused. She would lay in her dog house right beside the front door all night. I don't know what caused the change in her unless it's just age but now a bottle rocket can go off 2 blocks away and she is knocking the storm door down wanting in. It can be sun shining out side and a thunderstorm can be moving in our direction and be as far away as 10 miles and she will begin barking and it took me a coupe months to figure out she was barking at the Thunder she could hear off in the distance that I could not hear. With in about 15 minutes she is wanting in and sure enough 15 to 20 minutes later a thunderstorm will hit with Lightening and thunder and from that point on where ever I am in the house so is she. Like she is tied to me. I have also got to where I hate fireworks but only because they scare so many animals. They said on the news this morning that more dogs run away of the 4th of July weekend than at any other time of the year. I guess we all know why now huh?

 Sorry to hear about the cat......... :ugh: Her and my Kasey have 1 thing n common anyway. Kasey does not like cats either and chases them every time she finds one in her yard but she is to old now to catch them but she still tries but only for short jaunts before quitting the pursuit.......... :rofl:

Not sure but I think Adolf committed suicide and if he did there is no forgiveness for that in GODS eyes so doubt he will be there.............jmho

Correct!!!!! But he does have the ability to screw a whole bunch of things up and just do a really good job of making a mess out of everything.....................jmho

Well, I don't know how many folks actually know it was George W. Bush that really brought the Wrath Of the Muslims down upon the United States and I personally think it could have been prevented but was refused. When Operation Desert Storm was in the preparation plans we ask and were granted permission by Saudi Arabia to put a temporary air base in section of Saudi Arabia. After Operation Desert Storm was over and the goal to drive Saddam's troops out of Kuwait was completed we prepared to leave and began pulling all of our men and equipment out and Saudi Arabia requested that we keep out Air base in their country and our troops in there. Bush approved it. During Operation Desert Storm Osama Bin Laden didn't say anything thinking the base would be removed from his homeland after the war ended. He got upset when the base was not removed. He sent word twice to President George Bush Sr. requesting the base be removed from his homeland. Twice his request was denied. He sent word that we would regret our decision not to remove the base. When Bill Clinton got elected Bin Laden sent the same request to Clinton shortly after his taking office. Clinton also denied his request and he sent word that we will regret our decision and it was shortly there after that the bombing in the basement of the Trade Center by Al-Quada took place in 1993 and Bin Laden sent word that as long as that base was in his Homeland we could expect more attacks on American soil both here and abroad. He kept his word by attacks on our bases over seas and bombed any place he knew there would be a lot of Americans both civilians and military in third world countries while all the time planning 9/11/2001 when another Bush was in Office. All of this would most likely but not positively been avoided had a base that was not put in a location to be a permanent base in the first place and should have been removed when Desert Storm was over. So in jmho how important was or is that base now? Evidently not to important. In 2003 We pulled out giving the base called Prince Sultan to the Saudis for their Royal Saudi Air force to own and operate. Now with all of this said most of it was found with research and tons of it when I get bored. I am quite sure there are many things I have missed but I often do wonder what would have been different if we had just closed the base and left after Desert Storm. Would there have still been a  bombing of the trade Center in 93? Would there still have been planes flown into the Twin towers and Pentagon and PA.? I know this is a hard question to answer but does make one wonder what would have been different today. Just  a WHAT IF QUESTION?

From what I have been told by a TWRA Game Warden Property owners that are suffering crop damage from the hogs can legally shoot and kill them as declared under the Nuisance clause in TWRA hunting rules and if you shoot and kill a hog or more than one you are to notify the local TWRA office in your are so the hogs can be picked up and sent to processing and the meat is then sent to Homeless shelters and Orphanages for food. That was the last thing I heard on the hog issues in Tennessee. 

This is a pretty simple yet well explained reason that probably many Americans have never understood but need to because it shows that no country that does not prepare could be the next victim including the USA again. 1.6 Billion people is a lot and the number could scare some people but that is not militants. That number includes entire men women and children but is still something people need to know and very possibly prepare for in the future. That may even be the reason for all of the police departments receiving military vehicles. Preparing if the fight comes here.............jmho     http://news.yahoo.com/katie-couric-sunni-vs-shia-now-i-get-it-155748192.html

I won't give the Muslims the satisfaction of even acknowledging that it is their holiday because I do every day anyway with My bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and my Sausage egg and Cheese Biscuit with my morning coffee................jmho

I had not spoke to Jack or Melba in I guess 12 years. I did stop in one time on a trip  through Newsomes Station back then as I saw their vehicles all in the yard on the way through to my sons home and we had a short visit just like we have see each other everyday. Jack must not have been having health issues back at that time or he just failed to mention them but he did say he was still picking on Music Row from time to time but times had changed and so had the Music business and all the new young stars going in many new directions. I would almost blame his act on the doctors if they knew he was in pain and refused to get him medications that would work. More and more doctors are getting like that now days and that is one of the reasons I drive almost 100 miles round trip to my doctor for my semi annual check ups and prescription renewals and have for last 12 years. I have a great doctor that will take the time to listen to you and then talk out what is best and not just do what she wants. Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars to keep people out of pain and the doctors won't use what is put out there for that purpose. Many doctors have signs on their doors stating they do not prescribe pain medications and then want to know why they don't have many patients. Even if I didn't need them from time to time I would not let a doctor like that treat me anyway. I think after things calm down some I might make a trip back down to Newsomes Station and maybe catch Melba and or Tara at home and have a nice visit.

Mike, correct me if I am wrong but some folks say they don't recognize his name and there is a reason why. Jack was not actually a performer like his wife Melba is. Jack was a studio musician and for those who don't know what they do. They are the music you hear on many if not most of the songs sung by most stars when they are actually cutting a song or an album. They always wanted the best of the best in musicians when they were cutting & recording their albums and songs and those were the studio musicians 99% of the time. Jack was one of the best guitar pickers on Music Row and was in most cases requested by anyone cutting or getting ready to cut a song. Like I said Mike can correct me on any of that I may be wrong about but I use to go up to their house when he was out on the deck picking and jamming with a few friends and ever so often Melba would sing a song for all that gathered from the neighborhood. They were and are just down home folks that enjoyed music and life and I don't know about and didn't know about Jacks illness because I have not seen them in years. Correct me if I am wrong in any of that Mikey.

Ok, update on this from my buddy, the boys grandfather. The Louisville Police Chief and the Top Cop Police Commissioner have both decided that there does need to be an extensive investigation with every possible rock over turned to  either confirm a suicide or a homicide before the case is to be closed. They both said that they have received a flood of letters, emails and phone calls requesting a full investigation, all from people that knew the young man both relatives and many many friends saying that none of them believe he took his own life as he had to much to live for and nothing negative was going on in his life. So a top team of detectives have been assigned to the case by the Top Cops office. I guess we will get the truth evidently one way or the other. I will keep ya'll updated as I learn more........... :up: He was laid to rest on Thursday. Folk home where it happened is still a crime scene and the only thing the people have been allowed to do is get enough personal belongings to live with and get their 3 dogs he was sitting for and the house is still completely wrapped in yellow ribbon.

I have ran into things similar to this in the past while I was in the Hand Poured Bait Business and was having an issue with a  particular angler and payments for products they received. I found the best way to handle them after a few exchanges on line was a face to face and that normally got the issue corrected. Folks think if they live far enough away you won't come a visiting over a few bucks. With me even if it cost me money to collect the funds owed me with me it was principal. You case in my mind is more important then money or principal so I might look at an unannounced trip to Lufkin Texas and do a face to face............jmho   

The news said tonight that they do have armed drones flying over Baghdad but only to protect the American Embassy. If they would bring all the Americans home from the Embassy they would have no reason to get involved but here is our Government  poking their big nose in another countries religious problems and Civil issues.................jmho  We all knew this was going to happen when our troops came home so why is it a surprise to D.C. that it is happening?.............. :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

Every evening when Kasey and I go for our walk after supper we can hear different types or Military Aircraft flying from east to west in the direction of Fort Campbell. Heard Chinooks several times as they have a sound like no other. Hear Osprey several times also as they also have a sound all their own. Have not hear many smaller aircraft. Mostly Troop and equipment transports. Did hear a few C130's a couple times but they were headed towards Nashville , probably to National Guard Airbase in Nashville but not sure......Wasn't Obama the guy wanting to cut our military costs and just about "GUT" our Military last year and they have been giving our military equipment away to small town police and now they may need it all back................. :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

back when my wife was alive our house was a house divided during foot ball season....... :rofl: I will explain just a little. I was he 2nd husband and her first husband would never involve here in the games and was kind of an overbearing guy and she hated football because of it. When we got together she wondered if it would be the same so she tested the water. She came in the Den where a few couples and I were watching a game and sat down next to me and as things would happen like a 1st down she would ask me what that meant and I would explain it to her. All during the game she would ask questions and I would answer them for her. We were watching college ball that Saturday . On  Sunday the Pro games came on and I was sitting there watching one in the den and she came and sat down beside me with more questions and a pen and pad to make notes because she had forgot some of the things from the day before. My mid season in 1989 She was a foot ball guru and had Tennessee Orange all over the house in banners and ribbons and UT stuff. She didn't bother asking if I was a UT fan which I am not. I'm a Notre Dame fan She was Titan fan and I am a Bears fan so like I said a house divided during foot ball season............... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Would probably be a very short drive................. :up: :up: .......................jmho

I watched the game last night and was thrilled to see the Dores drop the anchor on Virginia.  I knew when Norwood made contact that is was going out and my only concern was staying in side the playing field and not going foul. The beginning Vandy pitcher pitched his heart out for 5.5 innings for sure..... Congrads Dores............... :up: :up: :up:

I see no problem providing both DL and HCP when ask along with proof of Insurance. The few times I have been stopped over the years since getting it I have always offered it and every time I can remember they would look at it and proof of insurance and hand both of them back and only got 1 ticket in all those times and that was a seat belt violation that got thrown out in court........jmho

Ronald Serpas was from New Orleans and after screwing up the Metro Police department he got a chance to go back to New Orleans and become chief their so he left and I was thrilled he was gone but yea for the most part they did go shopping up north for new officers. Big Mistake!!!...............jmho

Was not my grandson but a close friends but yea the story is messed up for sure. The family has requested a full and complete investigation since the rush to claim suicide was made in less then 15 minutes of finding him by police. There is much more evidence to demand an investigation then there is to just declare it a suicide in 15 minutes.

Apparent suicide was what the Louisville Police called it but it was what most folks that know the young man as a rush decision and the family has requested an investigation before it is decided that quick. He was just down here from college for Fathers day and was in great spirits. He had just finished his college minor which was a beginning of a career in Forensic Medicine and had just signed up for his second course study on it as his major. He wanted to be a CSI. His parents and another couple were going out of town for a week and the friends ask him if he would mind dog sitting their 3 dogs while they were gone and he jumped at it and said no problem. They left out of town on Saturday and he was found on Wednesday of last week in the home of the friends in Louisville. His parents became concerned when they could not contact him on Wednesday after talking with him on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He spoke everyday to either his dad or mom and when they could not get in touch with him by 9PM they the friends called a neighbor and ask them to go and check on him because his truck was in the drive way. They didn't hear back from the neighbor but shortly got a call from the Louisville police advising them that they might need to come home. They were told by the Lt. working the case what they had found but they would not let them see him. The LT said there was to much carnage/damage to his appearance. I have spoke with Ken about it again and he has said everyone is still in shock over it as they cannot find not 1 issue that would point to it being a suicide by anyone that knew him.  They have checked all of his computers and I pads for any kind of issues he may have been having with peer pressure or a suicide note or letter and there is nothing. Everything points to his looking forward to his future. Just does not make sense but then in every other one I have heard about they could find a reason and in this case they found zero reasons or any evidence that could cause him to do this....................jmho

A very close friend of mine just called and was all tore up. He just learned that his 23 year old Grandson apparently committed suicide according to the police in Louisville Ky. I have met this young man several times and he was always in good spirits and loved spending time with his Grandpa my close friend. I think the police have been to hasty on deciding it was suicide and so does every one that knew the young man. To many pieces of the puzzle not there to be suicide. My friend Ken H. and his family sure could use some prayers if ya'll don't mind.   I will explain the whole thing in another post.     Prayers requested for this one.
