Since I have

a good deal of damage to my left knee, I can no longer straighten it at all. Consequently, my left leg is, when “Fully extended”, a bit shorter than my right. On long walks, this means I tend to veer to the left. And I have always wondered how much.

So last tuesday, I had a fairly large (Because of the cool temperatures) beach to myself. Looking straight ahead, with no landmarks on the horizon, I walked down the beach to the water

And I ended up about seven feet to the left of where I started. So left to my own devices, without a landmark to guide me, I will walk in a circle a little over a mile in diameter.

yeah, I have little business going on vacation, I’m no good on my own.

The annual Canajan expedition and goat roping is behind me now

And everyone survived and did well. We are bushed but we’re home, Max the beagledog is happy to be here, and life is back to normal again.

Most importantly, I’ve been reunited with my guns.

Seriously, it gave me a good deal of pleasure to nod off to sleep last night with my hand on the stock of Dad’s 870, to see the case for the double sitting in the corner, to know that the M1 was inches away from my head. I missed my bed, and I missed my dog, but damn, did I miss my guns.

Why, I am just fucking stupid.

I’m a stupid homophobic meanie, and that’s all there can possibly be to it. There’s no likelihood that any group of gays has gotten their hooks into the church, and the slippery slope argument about gays and normalizing behavior is just stupid, You’re fucking nuts, Og! poof!

Look, I get it if you’re dead set against organized religion because someone engaged in some bad touching with you years ago; you can believe any stupid thing you want to believe (And ‘believing” there ‘is no god’ is EXACTLY AS “Risible” as “Believing” there is one.). Don’t break my leg or pick my pocket by supporting people who are out to destroy my organizations simply because you don’t like them; the evidence is all there, and to willingly ignore it is to choose sides against freedom, end of question.

Thanks, Buttercup.
