  1. I had a yellow jacket hit me in the lower eyelid several weeks ago.  I found the nest very quickly...they did not survive for long.  :mad:   I've seen a few more dragonflies around here than normal, but not that many more....
  2.   There is a lot of disagreement on that score...the last article I read said the gag order had indeed been imposed, despite many articles stating to the contrary.  Depends upon what the meaning of "is" is, I suppose....  :)
  3.   Oregon...bakers fined $135,000 and placed under a gag order by the Oregon Civil Rights Commission (IIRC)....
  4. I believe he is considering a run for the presidency in 2020 and a cabinet post in 2016.... 
  5. I saw in another story covering this EPA report that the report had also highlighted the effects of grilling and barbecues on the atmosphere.    IF anything were to happen, it would likely not be an outright ban on such activities.  EPA regulations of particulate matter would instead be set low enough that the only way for communities to meet them would be to ban activities like fireworks and grilling.  "Hey, we're not banning anything; that's your local government doing the banning."   Maybe I need to get my tinfoil hat out...but given what I've seen the last several years, I'm not willing to bet it will never happen....
  6.   Ah, I see.  Also, to correct my previous post, the flags will fly at half-staff in Tennessee until Friday at sundown for the five servicemen.  I thought the order had begun on last Friday, but new information stated it began today.
  7.   Governor Haslam ordered it for Tennessee...through Thursday at sundown, IIRC.  Friday was the first day of five; one day for each of the servicemen who lost their lives.
  8.   Well, there you go again...making sense and all.   Very frustrating, and very true.
  9. Take a look at Metalife to see if they might help:   http://www.mahovskysmetalife.com/   They list bluing among their options, but they are best known for their hard chromium finishes.
  10.   As I understand it, she had managed to slip one into her purse, then handed the purse to her husband with the comment, "I believe we have something in here we can give him," or words to that effect.
  11. An "oldie, but goodie":  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozJTenNzUKM
  12. From ou812:  The bad guy was still on parole from Memphis.   Link to an NBC story:  http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/robber-shot-dead-ex-cnn-reporter-identified-n386231   Sorry, ou812, for some reason the "Quote" feature didn't work properly for me.
  13.   Some of them are willing to go only because the job opportunities may be better there than here in the states.  My oldest son is working on his Ph.D. in math (paid for everything himself through scholarships starting freshman year of college), and he may look to Germany for a job in biomath after he graduates.  What concerns me is, is this the beginning of a brain-drain from the United States, a reversal of what has been going on for a half-century or more?   I don't know, of course, but with some of the highest corporate taxation rates in the world and ever-increasing governmental regulation, are we seeing the death of the goose that laid the golden egg?
  14.   Apparently, she and her husband had not intended to stay the night, but after going out for dinner with friends, they were too tired to get back on the road.
  15.   Can't say it any better...outstanding!
  16.   I wish I shared your confidence in the current Republican majorities in the House and Senate, given who they have confirmed lately with regard to presidential nominees.   I hope you are correct, but "only a pessimist is capable of being truly pleasantly surprised."
  17. Saddened to hear of this.  May he rest in peace; and may you, his family, and his friends find comfort and strength during this time of sadness.
  18.   Unfortunately, the two major decisions on the Second Amendment (Heller and McDonald) were 5-4, and could easily be "revisited" whenever four of the justices want to grant a rehearing.  Any sentiment on the court not to revisit any topic can change with each new justice appointment.  It took Plessy almost sixty years to be reversed, but it was reversed.  I hope you are right, but after today, I am certain of nothing....  :tinfoil:
  19. The new policy has already had the predictable results:  http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/rifle-wielding-uber-fare-robs-driver-queens-article-1.2270631   I'm glad the driver wasn't hurt; the next one may not be so fortunate....
  20.   A physician hires a laborer to clean his front yard during the day.  When he returns from his shift, the laborer says he is done and asks for his pay,  The physician looks at the results of the clean-up and says, "There is still dirt on the sidewalk and gravel all over the paved driveway.  In my estimation, it's a poor job."  The laborer retorts, "Well, doc, there's many a poor job of yours covered with dirt and gravel too."  The physician paid up.   I apologize for the off-topic response, but I couldn't resist....
  21. I believe I read that this would add an additional 400 jobs, although some will be taken by those who chose to come to Tennessee.
