- For those who talk about caseless ammunition made with packed propellant or have a cellulose/gelatin coating on the outside to keep its form, please go open a large package of pre-formed and measured dishwasher soap, especially one that’s gotten a tad damp due to humidity, and you will know why I think that will probably never work under field conditions.
- We took Boo to get evaluated for possible learning and behavioral problems today, mostly out of an abundance of caution.
- We both have family histories of learning disabilities and Boo hasn’t been without his troubles. We just want to go into kindergarten with a good idea of what challenges wait for us.
- No, we didn’t wait until now to start working on this. He’s been getting professional help in an excellent pre-school for kids with issues for two years, and he’s come a long way. We’re more at the ‘fine tuning’ stage, but need professional advice on what should be addressed.
- While we were waiting and talking, we both came to the realization that when it comes to the amount of drama and insanity in our families and lives, we’re about as normal as it comes.
- The trial of George Zimmerman is winding down in Florida and there are already threats of violence if the jury acquits him. I’m not going to make any predictions either way, but watch your six and make sure you have a go-to-hell plan for getting home if the worst happens.
- I’ve had two nights of what I call ‘memory dreams’ and last night was bad enough that Irish Woman decided the couch was a better solution for her.
- I know when I’ve had a bad night when I wake up more tired than I was before I went to sleep.
- Nutella and green apple quesadillas make a dandy dessert.
- In his latest Common Sense podcast, Dan Carlin discusses whether or not the military in Egypt was right in negating the democratic process by deposing the Muslim Brotherhood government. I’ll leave you to hear his points, and he makes some good ones, but my opinion is that it usually takes a long time to figure out how to integrate democracy into any culture, and it takes more than a wave of the hand and a plebiscite to take a country from generations of colonial rule and dictatorship to liberal western-style democracy. Egypt and other countries are going to have fits and starts on that road. If the military follows through on holding open and free elections soon, then a coup is better than “one man, one vote, one time”.
- Conventional wisdom is that dogs don’t eat cucumbers. Today, Moonshine proved that wrong.
