Bad Apples & Only Ones Close to Home

Boulder City, Nevada is just a bit south of Las Vegas.  It’s one of only two places in Nevada where gambling isn’t legal and until recently was also one of the few places where firearms not being carried with a concealed carry permit were required to be unloaded and cased – unless you wore a [...]

Candidate For Capital Punishment

Poway High is my alma mater.  I graduated in 1995.  This hit me hard.
From CNN.com:
On Wednesday, John Albert Gardner III, 30, a registered sex offender, was charged in the rape and murder of Chelsea, who lived in the San Diego area. Gardner, who is being represented by a public defender, was also charged Wednesday with [...]

Say what you will. Think what you will. It does quite alot on it’s own, dontcha think?

Recommended Reading and Viewing

I would love to be able to blog about all the cool stuff I find online, but I really don’t have the time.  It’s one of those things that seems to go by the wayside when you’re working two to four hours of overtime a night   Therefore, I’m just going to dump some [...]

Boston Election – Is Coakley TRYING to Lose???

I really can’t come to many other conclusions. Either Coakley is trying to lose the election for some reason, she’s incompetent, she hired someone incompetent, or she’s just plain stupid.
If you know Massachusetts, you know that the Red Sox are revered above many other things in life and the Yankees may as well be [...]

Explosives Containers Punctured, Locals Show Good Common Sense

From foxnews.com:
Locals said there was no sense of panic. Drew Hall, who answered the phone at Crystal [...]

AND PEOPLE STILL WONDER WHY I WOULD HOME SCHOOL…

OK, so I was reading The Jawa Report today and my jaw just about hit the floor as my head threatened (once again) to explode.  I’ve gotten pretty used to outrage lately, but this one was a bit over the top.
From the Las Vegas Review Journal:
A Northwest Career and Technical Academy teacher is accused of [...]

Las Vegas Weather Update

I just got this update in my email inbox and I have to say that I’m disappointed that I don’t have chains/cables and I can’t really afford to buy any right at the moment.  You’ve probably seen pictures of Mt. Charleston in the summer if you’ve been around for a while, but I really would [...]

No Need To Fear the Threatening Passengers…

I’ve been reading a blog called Stormbringer for quite a while now.  I’ve mentioned it before and there’s a link to it on my blogroll over on the right side of the page.  Stormbringer is written by a former Special Forces soldier who goes by the pseudonym Sean Linnane.  I don’t mind pseudonyms for the [...]

Fort Hood Massacre

I’m still trying to think of what to say and how to say it.  I’m shocked, appalled, and very angry at what happened and at the person who committed this act.  I can’t find the words to express my sympathy for the families, friends, and colleagues of those we lost as well as those who [...]
