Get a life . . .

May the grace of God and the meaning of the resurrection remind us to offer our very best to each and all, even those with whom we disagree, for this is what He did for us . . .

My heart is heavy for you hearing your loss. God bless you . . .

That's why my truck is dirty . . . rain is on the way

I remember that original Krystal; ate there as a kid. Don't eat there now since the company sold out years ago to new owners; food there is terrible now. The Greestal

That's the problem with growing up . . . what was kewl as a kid is really cheesy as an adult!

Mars, as all of us, found his own way. I truly hope and pray it brought him peace . . .

Poor Brucie . . .

I think my Depends is full to overflowing . . .

Very, very kewl!

Ah yes . . . my hometown of Chattanooga . . . where everyone on foot or on a bike feels like automobiles are non-existant . . .

thanks very much

starting new job

It is all about ratings, and ego, and MONEY and ratings, and ego, and MONEY. Oh, did I mention comments like this are all about ego and MONEY, not to mention ratings? Just because any TV talking head says something we agree with does not mean it is true.

I have an old, and unfired, Model 38 "hunchback." Ugly, yes, but SOOOOO easy to carry!

I think I'm gonna throw up . . .

I totally agree, Farman, I was SHOCKED to see this in the Tennessean. Then again, that "fish wrapper" regularly tries to be all things to all people just to sell the paper.

I totally agree; I interpreted the comment as you did . . . the typical concealed carrier "carries" and does not feel the need to broadcast it, just as the Captain did.

I was at my father in law's house and was reading his copy of the Tennessean since I do not subscribe. Imagine my surprise at the following article. Mark Cook: Attention seeker casts bad light on good people I knew my friend the Captain for more than 10 years before someone pointed out to me that he generally was packing a handgun. That revelation was in no way alarming to me. In the 10 years that we had been acquainted, I had come to appreciate the Captain's goodwill, faith and good judgment. The Captain served in the Marine Corps, Force Recon. He knows how to do a lot of things that he will probably never have to do. The fact that he carries a gun is neither paranoid nor aggressive. To someone with his background, I imagine he sees it not unlike carrying a lug wrench in his car. And knowing his character, I'll bet he secures his pistol each day saying to himself, "I might need to defend someone with this someday." My friend loves the outdoors. He loves Radnor Lake. He is a member of the Team Green outdoors club. I can only presume that he has gone hiking while legally carrying a handgun. But I can only presume that. He hasn't announced it, and he certainly hasn't brandished it. Last week a gentleman from the Grassland Community who apparently has a different philosophy about carrying guns filed a lawsuit against a state park ranger for unlawfully detaining him in December after he carried an automatic pistol on a sling through the park, apparently to test the law that allows people with permits to carry handguns in state parks. The same man was questioned by Belle Meade Police in January after he marched down Belle Meade Boulevard carrying a black powder pistol. Having been detained at Radnor Lake for about 40 minutes after being caught jogging on the trails, I have a hard time sympathizing with this provocateur. It was my first visit to Radnor in the 1990s when I inadvertently disobeyed this rule while running with friends. After seeing the number of people who use this park, I certainly understand the public safety interest of the running ban. I was wrong and should have known better. I would anticipate being questioned by rangers if I carried a machete on the trails, much less flashed a big commando weapon around. My friend the Captain isn't likely to be questioned about his gun. He is your typical handgun carry permit holder. There is nothing to fear from him or his ilk.

I think my cousin used to date this woman in Dunlap, TN . . .

I gotcha . . . I don't have grandkids yet, so I have yet to feel that pain

I am so sorry . . . wish I could say something that could help. Hang in there. My daughter graduates from MTSU in May and is determined to leave the area, and she is the only child I have left near. I don't know what it will be like to live for phone calls and two visits a year . . .

More damn ice

HUH? What did you say?

I agree; I wouldn't put +P through it, but it should be a fine revolver.
