I think it all started with a friendly visit from Guido, who politely offered to see to it, for a small fee, that your storefront did not get broken into.

Here's a tip. Place a backup offsite (mom's/friend's/brother's house or office) in case of theft/fire/etc.

Good spot. Good chow. Skull's has a really nice upscale menu.

ugghh.....

Sorry but I disagree. Don't do Nashville without doing LoBro. Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without it.

The pic is of a peregrine to note similarities. peejman's understanding of the written description about nails it with his suggestion that it is a coopers hawk. The similar sharp shinned hawk pic'd below is a close as I can get to an id.

Sounding good. The coloration is very similar to this. Breast is solid dirty white like this one's throat, not salt and pepper, and body head is a very smooth distinct (solid) color. Tail is very pronounced stripes. Wish I had a zoom lens. Maybe a spotting scope will get me closer.

No greg, osprey too big... doesn't meet specs...

Need help id'ing this bird. Google isn't my friend in this search. Medium size as predators go Dirty white breast (solid not salt and pepper) solid black head solid charcoal body tail is black and charcoal stripes Currently refurbishing last years nest which oversees a couple of nice acres of wetland/lowland that provides habitat for deer raccoons and reportedly a coyote or two

I could say the first protects the second and leave it at that, but I'll try to add some meat. If you can't freely speak how can you keep the second from being erased from the books? You can lock yourself in your home with your arsenal, but we all know how that turns out.

Question for the experts: Which is more important to your freedom, the First or the Second?

A man said to me once, I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you. Where this conspiracy theory would go.... The NRA does not exist to end the attempt by anti-2A entities to put gun control measures into to place to prevent citizens from owning........ ah, nevermind.....

My conspiracy theory: The American Cancer Society does not exist to wipe out cancer. The American Heart Association does not exist to cure heart disease. They would be putting themselves out of business. You see where this goes??.....

I count 1 rational thinking person (the girl) and three complete effing dumbasses (two cops and the driver). Amazing that failure to obey a cop is grounds to shoot to kill.

Something else I recall about Chief. He rarely ventured away from the homestead. Pop had a couple hundred acres of pasture/woods/wetland and it all came up close to the house on three sides. The house sat on an acre or two, and that was Chief's turf. Don't think I ever saw him go through the fence into the pasture or cross the highway out front.

My grandpa had a boxer named Chief. A dozen or more grandkids would ride him, pull his ears, tail, feet, tongue and probably a few more body parts. He played football with us. Nobody that didn't know him got out of the car when they drove up. They waited for Pop to come to the car.

gregintenn, This probably doesn't do you any good since you're a boat ride or two into town, but you can "rent" a high end scan tool from Advance/Autozone/Oreilly for free. You give them a card they charge you a hundred bucks and refund when you return. It is, from what I understand, similar to the tool an auto shop would use. I have rented them before and they do way much more than the 4 buck scanner from ebay I also have tried. The problem with the one from Autozone is being able to effectively interpret the data. I was overwhelmed by the information it provided when I used it. Good luck.

I've said it before and will keep saying it, we could tax it (stupidity) and fully fund the government. I would probably be in for a tax liability increase should the country take such action, at least initially. As far as training goes, a basic firearms class should be pre-req in grammar school, another in high school, and a few electives offered along the way. Since we are no longer teaching students to read, write, and cipher, they should have plenty of free time for it.

As a kid had comics, coins, stamps and baseball cards. Don't know where they are but if I could find them all probably worth millions of dollars. Today it is tee shirts and baseball caps. Worth about 2 cents.

This is anecdotal but anyway..... My friend used to own a hardware store and I happened to see a product he was promoting up front called APC which stood for All Purpose Cleaner. I asked my friend, is this any good? He responded, yes it's great. Come with me. We went back to the aisle with all the other cleaners, and he said to me, see all these cleaners? They are great too. For something. But none of them are great at everything. I just like hearing that story so I tell it a lot.

Heard a redbird mating call Saturday morning. Last week saw Two males in a turf war while a mostly disinterested female looked on.

I'd guess RTC Great Lakes.

reminds me of the 10 years I spent in Chicago in 1983.

Yes, quite discernible from the pic above. Reminds me a little of Colonel Kurtz's hamlet in Cambodia.
