Never Again
I shall never again spend a penny at Wal-Mart. Never did shop at Dick's Sporting Goods as I always thought of the place a metro-sexual joint.
Seems each has decided, as is their right, to pull semi-auto sporting rifles from the shelves.
Ragnar and Mel have rolled in their graves.

Bits & Pieces
It's here. Satisfy yourself to the idea of gun control, then deal with it.
Get thyself to your local gun store and purchase a battle rifle. Yes, I said battle rifle. The media refers to them as assault weapons. Also, deal with the fact 'high' capacity magazines will soon go the way of dinosaurs.
If you own (and you should) a basic battle rifle, like the AR-15 or M1A, twenty round magazines will soon triple in value. Handgun magazines over the ten round limit will be worth their weight in gold. Even ammunition, I fear, will see strict regulation. You've been warned.
Don't cry, fight. It isn't over yet but rest assured 'they' will win, with the blood of innocent children, to pave their path to complete victory. If you'd like an example take a good look at Great Britain.
*****
Christmas finally arrived at my home. Sweet Wife took me by the ear and we went forth and purchased a fresh tree. She then insisted I climb into the attic and retrieve the heavy boxes of ornaments and then, get this, made me help her decorate the tree. She's mean that way....
Anyhow, now you know how I spent my weekend.
*****
If you're not aware today is my 'Monday' here at the shop. The city has a work crew outside on an adjoining street hell bent on blocking my parking lot and the complete destruction of my business during this the busiest time of the year. (example - I wrote the last sentence two hours ago.)
So far three members of the work crew have asked to use my head (restroom) and have each walked out with a cup of coffee.
It'll be a long week.
*****
My best buddy, Duke, came by for a visit last week and left me with a jar of jam...he's so thoughtful.
He begged me for a plug of his blog...
And, he knows I always keep my word.
The Fuzzy Navel Jam went well with my Sunday morning toast and eggs. Thanks, Bubba.

Please forgive me the lack of edit...I just haven't the time.

Update
This is the first opportunity I've had to touch a computer long enough to write. That, and I'm just not in the mood to chit-chat.
Sorry.
I'll try to update this afternoon. At the moment the wife awaits. I hear her toe tapping and she has a stern look on her face...seems a day of Christmas shopping is in my future.
About the tragedy; short and simple - it was awful. God bless the parents. Sadly, we'll pay for the idiots crimes. News coverage this morning, as you well know, is all related to gun control.
It will happen. Count on it, and prepare.
P.S., Charles Schumer can bite my a$$.

Now, This is Progress
Snippet:
Applications for the permits in the state of 19.1 million people have doubled since 2007. Only 0.3 percent of the more than 2 million total permits issued since 1987 have been revoked, said Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.

Gunsmoke Worthy
Once, many moons ago, Little Bit came to me and stood with big brown eyes, all serious. "Papa," she asked, "Am I Gunsmoke worthy?"
After assurance she smiled and climbed into my lap. Afterwards, when she visited, and if Gunsmoke was scheduled, we'd share the program as one. It was our little thing. To be granted status as Gunsmoke worthy meant one was qualified to watch Papa's favorite show and knew silence was the rule. And, one never, ever, tried to watch any other program when Gunsmoke was aired. Never.
Sweet Wife has lost her Gunsmoke worthy status.
Blame it on Hallmark. Believe it or not.
If you work for Hallmark you're on my list.

Rain
We have gray skies and it's cool and the rain falls hard. Now, it feels like December. I enjoy the soothing sound of rain.
I've less than two weeks to increase the bottom line of my business so please excuse me if my notes are less than frequent.
Time for another cup of coffee. Join me, why don't you.
Later.

Something New
Since I haven't eaten more than a speck of food over the last few days I want to try something new. I have never prepared Creamed Spinach. It's about time.
The recipe can be found here.
I suppose it's very apparent I'm hungry.
