I know I’m late on this but I think this is just fantastic.
A few more such incidents and maybe even my wife will get with the “carry a gun” program.

Sorry for lack of postings. Maybe a few later.
Nice day for the Dow and Nasdaq.
AOL’s still in the tank. Maybe I should buy some shares at $12. (Should have bought them last week at $7, but I’m a coward when it comes to investments.)

…they never will be missed…”
Where do they get those wonderful toys?

Not so far as I know. He doesn’t get a mention in Dwight Smith’s history of Indiana Freemasonry and I’ve never seen him in any lists of famous Freemasons I’ve encountered.

We did some rawther plebian chores today, don’t’cha know. So there was no bloggage.
First, we had breakfast. This was important since we are both getting over nasty colds (yes, Sally gave hers to me. Share and share alike in this family).
Next, we went to the local appliance stupidstore to buy…a freezer! 11c.f. frost-free if you must know. The annoyance of being a gourmet cook with no freezer to store leftovers will be no more. (The freezer on top of the fridge is too damn small.)
Next, we went to the local u-assemble-it furniture shoppe that carries the full line of Sauder furniture. Just looking, but we saw some glass-front bookcases that we lust after (only $109 each!), and a very nice computer armoire that we may get for Sally (a bit more expensive…$329 I think it was). No decisions until we get our Larger Place™.
Then, we went to Costco and bought a few things. I was suffering from Costco Withdrawal since I hadn’t been there since last Monday. Second breakfast there consisting of all of the samples they had to give out.
Thence to home, to clean out the garage now that the garage door spring has been fixed, so that the installers will be able to get the freezer (see above) into the garage. (And incidentally, Sally will be able to park Vanna in the garage, too.) A trip to the dumpster and the storage locker finished that up.
Finally, an evening with friends at Keystone Sports Review.
Back home to finish reading the backlog of Sluggy Freelance that I hadn’t managed to read in the last few days. I just discovered the strip last week and have been reading it voraciously. Finished all five years plus about 20 minutes ago.
That’s it. Probably light if any bloggage till Tuesday.

My suggestion is that they all need to be diselected at the earliest opportunity.

Proving once again what a bunch of tools they are, the fellow-travellers at the Nobel awards gave the Peace Prize to Jimmy Carter.

“[F]or his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.”

Yeah, right. And for always being on the wrong side when it came down to it.

Man, I was hoping that Larry Miller story was true. Turns out it is, except that he got the name of the band wrong. See his correction here.
