The Sycamore View exit on I-40 is kind of unique. Its the last exit headed west into Memphis before hitting the I-40/240 interchange and the heavy traffic. Very easy access both off and on to the Interstate. Sycamore View is a heavily traveled street providing main access to both East Memphis and Bartlett. Lots of easy access to large, nondescript parking lots and motels. Frankly, if you're from out of town and looking to conduct nefarious business in Memphis, this exit makes the ideal place to hop off the interstate, do your thing, hop back on I-40 and be gone quickly. Likewise, as a very busy intersection, its quite popular with the homeless/ pandering crowd. They inhabit every corner of the intersection and ramps there. Its a rather colorful area.

Losing so many prominent entertainers who I've followed most of my life is making me feel real old.

I'm curious as to if any drugs or large amounts of cash were found on the victim.

This is where I-40 enters Memphis proper. There are several cheap motels located there. Long suspected to be a popular un-loading zone for drugs entering the city and various deals by unscrupulous characters. From the description, my guess is that a planned meet turned into an ambush. Gang bangers killing each other.

Free bump for a gun somebody needs to buy.

I'm really surprised this is still here. IMHO, the S&W Model 18 is the finest .22 caliber revolver ever made. Its the perfect understudy to learn proper DA shooting technique for any medium frame .38 or .357 revolver. Not to mention the ideal woods gun. I'd be all over this is I didn't already own two of them.

We might be next door to memphis, but my little town has a reputation for having an outstanding Police Dept. The bad guys know this and we're generally pretty quiet. Gonna be interesting to see what happens with a soft on crime County DA. I'm betting it won't be good. Harris is a more or less do nothing County Mayor. He hasn't accomplished much, but OTOH he hasn't messed much up either. As long as he continues down that path, I'm not too concerned about him.

Trump or Desantis? Really? That's all we got to pick from? Frankly, I can't stand either one of them. Once again picking the lesser evil. I really wish a good candidate would run. But who might that be?

PM sent.

I washed my hands of both parties long ago. Both have gone completely off the rails and headed into crazy town. Both have become insane extremists who won't even discuss other options. I am a conservative and nothing more. I usually end up voting Republican simply because its the lesser of two evils. But its still evil. I hate what politics in this country has become.

The lady opened many doors for black women in TV and inspired more than one real female astronaut. A fine actress and a great lady. She leaves a true legacy in her wake.

Not saying I subscribe to it, but there was a conspiracy theory before the 2020 election that Joe would only serve a little over two years and for whatever reason Harris would become President. That way Harris would serve out his term and still be eligible to serve two more full terms. She may not be making much noise as VP, but Harris is a full blown libitard and would be an absolute nightmare as President. BTW: speculation already is that Joe won't run for re-election in 2024 due to age and health.

I carried a Buck 286 the last few years I worked. 3" locking blade and nylon handle. Very light and very tough. This was my work knife and it led a hard life. Now retired, but still in fine shape. https://www.buckknives.com/product/286-bantam-bhw-knife/0286FAM01/

It'll die in the Senate. I keep telling y'all this is all for show. They know it'll never pass. This is just so that they can cry, whine, wring their hands and claim "We tried!"

Crawford played the part of Chief Dan Matthews. He was the boss, so he wore plain clothes. So did some of the detectives and Sergeants. The regular Patrol officers in the show wore State Trooper uniforms.

The DA race in Shelby County is the hot item in this year's election. Mulroy is a hard core leftist. Wants to defund police, end bail, light sentences, etc. In the past he sued the Sheriff's dept to try to force the release of prisoners. The full liberal wish list. If nothing else, here's THE reason to get out and vote. Yes, I voted for Weirich.

I dealt with Armadillos years ago in Texas. They do dig, but move slow. Never heard one make any other sound than the digging noises. My guess is a pig. Maybe just a small one that could hide well in the brush.

I went and early voted today. This has become a habit for me as I find it physically uncomfortable to deal with crowds and long lines. The up coming Aug 4th election is both a primary and in many counties a general election. I feel its more important to vote in the primaries than it is to vote in the General Election come fall. Let's face it, in the general election most of us will simply vote for the candidate with a "R" or "D" by their name. By voting in the primary election you have a much better chance of getting a qualified candidate for the general election. I truly believe that the current crop of idiots and clowns in Congress these days is the result of people not voting in primaries. The wrong people end up winning and we suffer for it.

I actually had a co-worker who was about to retire do this to a lot of stuff he worked on in those final days. He thought it was funny. Needless to say, most of us were happy he retired. He never really got along with the rest of us anyway.

If your job is such that you feel the need to carry, it might be time to reconsider your career choices.

I, for one, am hoping Biden gets through this without any problems. Heaven help us if Harris ends up with the job.

99% of the time I carry OWB at about 3:30. Doesn't matter what gun, what size or what holster. I dress according to where I'm going and what I'm doing. I prefer leather holsters. On very rare occasions I might pocket carry something small.

Just saw a story on the evening news about the down side of EVs. One item that caught my attention was they said that the EV owners on average use more electricity charging their car over a week than their entire house uses in the same time. Yep, and we need to cut back out A/C because the power grid is overloaded.
