Short day at work today – get off around five, head for bible study, and fellowship! And, of course, work on the bass skills that I’ve been neglecting lately. I really need to get back to playing more than once a week!

Wow – I guess that stock photo kinda doesn’t do it justice. I’ll have to take a picture of the one I own!

Chat ya later…

Just wanted to let you know that I am not ignoring you, I just don’t feel free to talk about anything right now, since a certain legal entity is closely scrutinizing my blog.

With all due respect, Your Honor, I quote from my disclosure page, regarding Fair Use:

Fair Use: Electronic links, short blockquotes in online articles, or other electronic uses are not limited, however, I do ask for credit where my work is used. Printed versions of ANY of my posts must be accompanied by a pre-dated written express permission from me (or the author, in case a guest author creates a post) before a post or entry is printed out and used in any form.

In ANY form, Your Honor – not just for entertainment, but for any form. Including waving a copy of my own writing in my face while I am sitting on the witness stand. Violation of copyright, Your Honor. Your state prosecuting attorney has taken advantage of my intellectual property, without permission.

Not that you’ll ever see this entry, since it contains none of the key words that his “people” are “searching” “for”.

ps – anyone out there know any good copyright attorneys, willing to work on contingency?

… or, Waiting For The Storm. Which title plays better?

I’m thinking I should have gone with the storm. We are waiting for the rains here in the Phoenix area (Flagstaff area got hit hard last week, and they are still cleaning up. flash floods are pretty rough!) and we are also waiting for tomorrow, July 29. That marks sixty days after the legislative session ended, and a boatload of bills takes affect. The two big ones are SB1070 and the Concealed Carry bill.

SB1070 gets plenty of play every where, let’s not dwell on that one.

Concealed Carry – now, there’s a polite society waiting to happen. This bill makes it legal for any legally owned firearm to be carried concealed within the state of Arizona without a CCW license. So – that little old lady you just helped across the street? Yeah – she’s got your back in a firefight. Soccer Moms and carpool pilots alike can pack the heat – and nobody can tell who’s carrying what. Talk about speaking softly! I predict a whole lot less road rage, more consideration for the other guy, and I am certainly going to increase my personal “don’t tick off the women” ratio. Think about it – concealed weapon, a certain uptick in hormones, and one wrong word – I shudder.

Yep, gonna be a lot more civil in the Grand Canyon State now.

No wonder liberals hate us.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Who would have thought that a rubber, inflatable dam in the middle of the desert would eventually fail? Catastrophically?

When the dam was installed over ten years ago, I remember thinking to myself “What kind of idiot would use a rubber tube in the desert to hold back water?” Then I remembered it was a government project. Common sense ain’t so common, is it?

The river filled as far as the eye could see within seconds, witnesses reported.

Warning sirens started wailing within minutes, and officers rushed along the riverbed to try to warn anyone of the approaching flood.

When seconds count, official response is only minutes away!

My good friend, Fred, has a post up over on The Texas Fred Blog that you should maybe ought to go and read. Not just for the entertainment value, but for the eye-opening that a lot of people in this country need.

It starts out thusly:

Have you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on? This isn’t just a re-post of an email we’ve all seen many times. Read past that part. I was sent this again today and for some reason I was inspired to write the post below the email. I hope you enjoy it!

If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

Read the rest over at Fred’s, and tell him Cary sent you. He’ll shoot me thank me later.
