I’m surprised this article hasnt been reposted here. Seems like it would make for some colorful comments.

My minefield typically negates the need for gunfire. Stray cats tend to wake up the whole neighborhood , though.

From a perpetual lurker;

Progress Trump’s crew are making with Russia that will not be reported in the US.

Thai….your link reveals optimism, but does it make sense in light of US, Jordanian, and ? troops/weapons inside the Jordanian border, in Syria, in order to prevent Iraq troops hooking up with SAA (Assad) to defeat ISIS.

Can you really trust US? – Don’t think so based on last 2 years activity in Syria.

The kids around here drive 4-wheelers everywhere; I’ve even caught them pulling a trailer behind one full of my pears. They’ll all be grown ups we’ll be proud of before we know it.

lol…My lawn is far enough from “civilization” kids aren’t an issue. But we do have bears. The kind that eat your garbage (left the garage door open recently & 3 of ’em came in & ransacked the receptacle – dunno’ where Goldilocks was). And the kind that eat your lunch. By the time I get to MT, or AK – already been to Phx (Galveston, too) – maybe there will be fewer of the latter.

My favorites are the old guys who put sensors in their yard that are linked to the sprinkler system.

I don’t mind the kids around here, but if someone’s dog craps in our yard I get a shovel and the poo-flinging commences.

I can get guns. There is a whole bunch of paper work to do and a whole bunch moar rulez on storage once in possession. Not really a problem. Just never before really saw a need. But gotta admit that you’re right. To be a foot soldier in the Kek army I really should have a couple.

As for the bb gun. They are ineffective on metaphorical Polar Bears.

I don’t have a lawn. It’s Tucson!!!! Just tons of gravel and a few desert hardy plants fed by a drip irrigation system, so no problems with kids. This makes for my carefree, happy-go-lucky, cheerful and friendly personality, as I am well known both here on TBP and in my neighborhood. Heh.
