The Weather Down Here...
Sucks.
We've had non-stop rain for 2 days, not cold enough for snow, just cold enough to make it freakin' miserable. With wind gusts up to 85mph overnight and pouring down rain...makes for really sucky weather.
I live out in the sticks, so to speak and the county hasn't done any maintenance on the road I live on since I moved out there 6 years ago.
Now during monsoon season, usually July- August we get alot of rain, but I have never seen the accumulation of water like I have over the last couple of days. There's mini lakes where there normally isn't even a puddle. in fact our usual lake sized water holes in the road are even more massive than usual. I almost didn't make it out to work this morning...that with a 4-wheel drive pickup truck.... Yeah...
So last night the county just west of us, Pima county had a Tornado warning going on...highly unusual here.
And to top it off, looks like we may have the snow line drop to between 3,000 to 4,000 ft. this afternoon. So our snow day will actually be on my day off...grrrrr. A guy can't catch a break.
So, luckily my roof is still intact and looks like we're gonna get snow today sometime.
Maybe I'll be able to have a snowman in my front yard when I get home today...hehehe.
Well, I hope anyways, it would be nice to have some positive aspect to this crappy weather.
Mjolnir out.

Do as I Say, Not as I do....
Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. About 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen andBrunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do As I Say And Not As I Do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.
So, the honorable Sen. Soles can defend his home...but us knuckledragging rednecks i.e. the unwashed masses aren't responsible enough to...

Rashid was injured by a motorcycle earlier that day. Navy hospital corpsmen like Elsey routinely see local residents and children here to treat their wounds.

To Support and Defend...
H/T: Jesse
This is axactly the message that us Oathkeepers are trying to get out.
excerpt:
When our soldiers enlist, they are given an oath to swear, this is a similar oath to what the Police in this nation are given to swear. The following is the Military Oath. “"I, John or Jane Doe, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
In addition, this is the generally accepted Law enforcement oath. “On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the constitution my community and the agency I serve.”

A small rant
Caution: there is some profanity in this post...you've been warned.
The war never ends it seems. They just won't let it go. They insist in their narrative of reality that tighter gun control laws here will somehow change the outcome of the war in Mexico between the Gov't and the Drug Cartels. Somehow it's the US citizens fault that there is a war going on that the Mexican Gov't can't seem to get a handle on despite it's own draconian gun laws. And so a former Bush Aide is coming out in support of a renewed 'assault weapons' ban. what the hell is an assault weapon anyway? I don't think they know. Actually I KNOW they don't know. If it's black and has a detachable magazine, it's probably an assault weapon to htem...to include a custom ruger 10/22 with a pistol grip, detachable 50 round magazine, polymer stock...yeah looks mean, must be mean huh? except it's a fucking .22. *sigh*
yeah next thing you know they'll be trying to call a knife with an assist for one handed opening a switchblade...oh wait they've already done that huh...or not, I know they wer trying to redefine switchblade so that a whole bunch of millions of knives would suddenly be illegal just by redefining what the item is...convenient huh?
I'm sick and tired of theis bullshit. And I'm sick and tired of being politically correct about every daggum thing. I'm just sooo fucking done. Stick a fucking fork in me.
Unfortunately, I can rant and rave and act like a freaking loon here on this blog, and there are a few folks that actually take a little time out of their day or week or month, depending on the frequency of their visits but I know all I'm doing is preaching to the choir. It's sad really. Maybe I need to go to some lefty sites and start preaching, but I doubt that'll do any good. They've most all of 'em drank the friggin' Kool-Aid already. America, the country whose embodiment is in an ideal, not a geography enshrined in the most awesome document ever devised, that I swore an oath to protect with my lifeblood if necessary has slowly eroded. her edges are frayed, her colors have begun to fade. It depresses me. alot. I don't want to see another violent civil war come to this country, but we're in the beginning stages already. We have in this country two diametrically opposed worldviews that cannot be reconciled. Unfortunately the worldview that the founders had for us is being replaced by a view that has caused the death of millions time and time again and leads to nothing but tyranny.
I hope it does not come to pass. I hope America, the freedom loving half, rise up at the ballot box and elect freedom loving men and women to represent them and change the direction this country has been heading in for decades. It's time to take back the gov't from the despots who would be our masters. For if we do not....the consequences will be dire for all concerned. And that's not something I want to even think about. At least not until I have to....
My rant for the day/week/month...we'll see..hehehe.
Keep your powder dry and always fellow patriots....
Die with your boots on!

"We swear an oath to the Constitution, not to a man, even if he makes a thrill run up your leg when he talks." ~ Stewart Rhodes
Well, I wasn't able to watch Stewart kick some big Gov/statists on the Chris Matthews Show. But. Accordingy to Mike over at Sipsey Street Irregulars, there should be a youtube video up soon of the segment.
The Money quote is the header for this post. And made me all warm and fuzzy reading it.
Go check out the report from Mike at Sipsey Street. I'll update when I find a link to the video, or someone else posts it.

“most people back home dont even know, no one gives a shit”
I have to say, when I read this at TAH, I was shocked to say the least.
I don't care if you think would should be in Afghanistan or not. This is still a tragic loss of life.
I don't even know if any of the scouts I served with are in 361 Cav. good possibility, but one never knows. All I can say is B troop lived up to the tradition of cavalrymen and stood by their buddies. donating blood in the midst of battle, wounded troopers refusing to be medevaced so they could stay and fight beside their fellow troopers. Brings a tear to my eye and makes me proud of them.
H/T to This Ain't Hell
More in fo at The Burnpit
Excerpt form the Burnpit:
In the battle for Combat Outpost Keating, the men of Bravo Troop 361 Cavalry lost every possession they had, save for the clothes on their backs. Following this blog posting is information on how to donate to the Combat Outpost Keating Relief Fund. These men have lost friends, their outpost, and all their belongings. One soldier who made it out wrote that “most people back home dont even know, no one gives a shit”. Well, many of us do. And you can prove it by giving whatever you can. These guys need things like running shoes, and other essentials, as well as some comfort items like iPods and DVD players. The American Legion has kicked in $1000 to start the fund, and your humble blogger will be the first to donate $100. I intend to get these items out by the end of next week. ANY amount you can give, no matter how small will help us prove that we care.
Well, I searched google for some relevant images for 361 cav and got nothing...sometimes I wonder about google...i got so much unrelated crap it made me ill.
For our brother Troopers who paid the ultimate price:
Godspeed brothers...
SCOUTS OUT!

Halfway down the trail to hell
in a shady meadow green
Are the souls of all dead troopers
camp'd near a good ol' time canteen
And this eternal resting place
is known as Fiddler's Green
Marching past straight through to hell
the Infantry are seen
Accomp'nied by the Engineers, Artillery and Marine
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
dismount at Fiddler's Green
Though some go curving down the trail to seek a warmer scene
No cavalryman ever gets to hell e'r he's eptied his canteen
And so rides back to drink again
with friends at Fiddler's Green
And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a sabre keen
Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
you stop a bullet clean
and the hostiles come to get your scalp
just empty your canteen
and put your pistol to you head
And go to fiddler's green
Godspeed brothers...
SCOUTS OUT!
Die with your boots on...

I hope we can stay sane long enough to vote these jokers out of office.
Die with your boots on...
