This is kinda cool. Vet stops along the road to help a guy change a tire. Busted-tire guy happens to be Colin Powell, who was at the top of the command chain when vet served (at least at some point).

Cool moment.

On a personal note, good news.

My step mom called tonight from WI to let me know how things are going. My dad died after Christmas last year and I have been a little worried about her living alone with just a Jennings jam-o-matic .22 for protection.
I bought a Ruger Security 380 and let her shoot it to make sure she could handle it with her weak hands. She shot well and it did not jam like the Jennings. Before I could work out how to get her one, she went to a local gun shop and bought her own.
Next step, why she called tonight. She took the class to get her WI CCW. Learned a few thing and enjoyed the live fire session. Now she just has to file the paper work to get her CCW.
I am happy to be helping her on this journey but frustrated at the limitations being 600 miles away brings. My step sister and her husband moved a house on the property last year and are close to lend a helping hand so that does ease my mind.

My point, I am happy my step mom is closer to getting her CCW and is keeping me informed all the way!!

It's unfortunate that the "Good News" thread doesn't even have a second page, while bad news fills our screens everyday, Well, I'll add another one. I met up with my longest time friend after a hiatus of almost a decade this year. He had been drowning in debt and addictions, and decided to turn his life around after the death of a classmate back in July. Now has a full time job, is regularly attending church, and is on the right path of rebuilding his life. Good luck to you Joey!

Initially I though Big Red was back. I know some would disagree but IMHO that would be good news also.

I believe he has until January. We'll have to get him an Abraham Lincoln shaped cake upon his return.

I miss Big Red. I'm just not adequately skilled with asterisk use.

Just type what you want and let the profanity filter handle the asterisks.

Hopefully when he returns he can keep it between the ditches cause another strike, like what cost him 6 months, will make it permanent.

Just an FYI, the mods all want him back as well. We didn't want to have to take action, but action had to be taken

If he moved to Illinois maybe he would get a better deal. People get out of jail there when they carjack someone so how can you justify so much time in the hole for a slip of the tongue? He's a good boy and trying to turn his life around. the man just keeps putting him down.
