Saturday, just as I was getting ready to mow, it started raining. Then I had to wait for it to dry again(a fast sunshower) and as I got about 3/4 through the yard, it hammered me again. I motioned to the wife to get me my hat, and finished the job singing Donald Fagins “Walk between the raindrops”. Mercifully, all the neighbors were safe indoors at the time.

A shadow crossed the blue Miami sky
As we hit the causeway by the big hotel
We fought
Now I can’t remember why
After all the words were said and tears were gone
We vowed we’d never say goodbye

When we kissed we could hear the sound of thunder
As we watched the regulars rush the big hotels
We kissed again as the showers swept the Florida shore
You opened your umbrella
And we walked between the raindrops back to your door

In my dreams I can hear the sound of thunder
I can see the causeway by the big hotels
That happy day we’ll find each other on that Florida shore
You’ll open your umbrella
And we’ll walk between the raindrops back to your door…

Yeah, I’m not right. Whatever.

it is clearly, as several people have put it, not anything like time to press the proverbial reset button on this country. On the other hand, it’s clear that the US of A is infected with all manner of viruses. What system is analogous to an Antivirus program that will clear the corruption and waste, and allow the prcess to get back to speed again?

Spent yesterday preparing, and today cooking, a lunch for family and friends. There were eight of us all told, and a couple more came by later, for chicken, tater salad, devilled eggs, several other dishes and stuff. A summer cookout, basically.

I have a good chicken recipe Dad used to use, which has been improved a bit by the beer-butt method, and made four big fryers, one of which still rests in the kitchen, awaiting attack later. Due to other obligations several intended guests were not able to make it, so we ended up with enough extra food to.. well, to feed the hungarian militia.

Needless to say we’ll be doing leftovers a while.

After dinner Partner and I went to Gander Mountain where they are selling ex-mil P-01 pistols. These are basically refurb P-38’s, but with the aluminum frame rather than the steel one. They brought one out that was so nice Partner decided then and there to take one home with him. If I hadn’t been broke as shit I would have bought one too.

He was pretty amazed that in 15 minutes with an NCICS check he was able to walk out of the store with a firearm and 100 rounds of ammo. I told him- so long as there are conservatives around anyway- God Bless America.

Happy father’s day, Y’all.
