How Times Have Changed

Oh, how the times have changed. Can you imagine children today at play with handguns during recess in our current silly politically correct society.

What's Cooking For The Weekend

It's hard for me to cook the way I like during the week. Work, family business, plan old weariness shuts me down on weeknights. Then Friday arrives and I take a deep breath and plan for a kitchen session. Most, but not always I think seafood. After all, I live in Florida. When one steps outside here, you wade through seafood. But, I want something different this weekend.

This morning I strolled around the internet and found myself once again at my friend, The Kitchen Witch's blog. She has a recipe listed today for Salmon Croquettes or patties, your choice. I still pronounce salmon with a silent 'L,' having lived out west for much of my life. Give the recipe a try....should be awful good.

AR-15

This is so cool. To field strip and clean an AR system with soap and water...bring it on.

Action Thriller

October 1st, Larry Correia, and Mike Kupari, have a new novel hitting the bookstores. If it's as well written, and it should be, as the rest of Larry's works, it'll be a humdinger....

Here's a snippet from Larry's blog about Mike.

This is Mike’s first book, and it is a darn good one that deserves to be read. For those of you who don’t know, Mike is an EOD Technician, currently defusing roadside bombs in Afghanistan. He will still be in Afghanistan, risking his life and being awesome, when his first novel appears in stores. Places like NPR can talk about thriller writer street cred, but Mike plays high-explosive chess against terrorist IEDs before breakfast.  Most first time authors are super excited to do their first book signings, but Mike can’t because he’s deployed… Think about that for a second… He can’t do book signings for the really nifty book he wrote because he is too busy DEFUSING MURDER BOMBS.

Indian Uprising

Oh, this, is just beautiful. Wonder what the great one will have to say....

Just strikes me as funny.

Bits & Pieces

I like this magazine cover. It has a lot going for it, a reflection of time, and a pantry full of canned goods. The magazine isn't bad reading either.

If you bloggers haven't tried Google Chrome, do so. It seems to me (and I'm no expert) that it loads graphics on my blog a heck of a lot easier than Firefox.

An old customer came in today and he appeared worse for wear. After a few minutes he related how he'd lost his job and home. He and his family are now living in a shipping container. You've seen those large metal boxes used for shipping junk from China, like that.  His brother-in-law set one in his backyard for this poor man and his family (wife and three small children) to live in while they try and regain some sense of order and dignity back into their lives. If this isn't a reflection of the times in which we now live, give me a better example.

Please, get ready. Store some rice and dried beans and canned meat. Get out of debt. I know, easier said than done, but try. Remember, there is a big difference between a need and want. Get those fifty pounds bags of flour and sugar. Stock your shelves with canned vegetables, water is a must. Got protection? A handgun, rifle, shotgun, .22 critter getter and a stack of ammunition? Time is precious and I'm sorely afraid were rapidly nearing the end, and before you know it your federal reserve notes will be worthless. Give it some thought, please.

Take care,

Stephen
