Poor people and their families. The Ushers or Deacons or whoevever needs to be guarding the congregation somewhat. It runs through my mind every Sunday as I sit with my back to the door. Don't know all details yet but cameras, emergency plans and of course a few trained armed people could stop these things from being so bad. Anyway,looks like an AR-15 went off by itself and killed a bunch of people again.

Didn't read description and thought it was just a naked crazy guy at first. Probably a Paranoid Schizophrenic off his meds, poor guy. What's up with the blood thirsty guy filming? "Shoot him!"..... Zap him, avoid and evade. Not shoot him dead. What an idiot.

People who retire early enough and are fit enough to enjoy a large tract of land, They have it made! If you don't have to work, or commute to a job in a City, affordable land is still for sale. Not as far out from Civilization as you might expect either. And if you get tired of living and playing on your acreage and start getting lonely? Don't worry, If you wait a few years, the population will reach you eventually.

I read that yesterday. About as evil as it gets, they had a good chance of pulling it off to. News out of China today 14 kindergarten kids stabbed by a woman. Be vigilant, Evil is all around us.

Sorry to hear that bersaguy. If My shoulder hurt all the time like it does when I move it the wrong way I'd have to get on some serious drugs. I have an iffy back and slight knee issues too. My failing body is why I decided to change professions from welding before it was too late. Any time I get feeling sorry for myself I think of all the people who are my age and already have a cane or stooped over etc. So I'm really pretty well off I guess.

Billyblazez, Here's a Topic I started that has some interesting perspectives on moving here you might want to skim through. https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/108428-personalprivate-shooting-range-in-back-yard/

If you want to see some property in the Cookeville area message me. I've been showing a few properties within a half hour or so that might meet your needs.

I have a screwed up arthritic or wore out, (Never got it checked out) right Shoulder. It gives me severe pain if I do anything with it beyond raising it for a handshake, driving etc. I imagine if my life depended on escaping I could get my hands around in front but I'd be suffering.

I used to have the ability to manoveur my handcuffed hands from behind my back to in front of me while in a car...... A useful skill I have lost. Although I haven't been handcuffed since my younger days. Perhaps I still can

Was the book kinda newly published when you read it or was it a dog eared old paperback from Goodwill?

You beat me to it! Forgot about Nos. Lots of theories about him really being a ghoul.

The Night of the Living Dead. Low budget, Black and White and scary as hell for the 1960s. "They're coming to get you Barbara" The music really makes it and the little kid zombie eating the Mom is still freaky. Don't watch any newish horror, kinda depresses me how sick and realistic it has become, too much torture and sadism. Don't mind Nightmare before Christmas for something fun.

Californians have taken over Oregon and Washington. Too bad, extreme beauty in the landscape wherever you go.

I remember watching Chevy Chase portraying Ford. They always made fun of him being physically clumsy. My favorite SNL President skit was Bill Hartman/Reagan. Blathering Fool in public.PoLITICAL GENIUS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. SNLs Baldwin/Trump might have been a little funny at first but it got old fast.

Academy Sports in Cookeville opens soon! What's their stance these days? I'm guessing they will sell firearms but what type I don't know. I bought a Kayak in Oregon from them a few years ago. That store had no guns.

Go for it but put a lean on future wages if they start making over a certain amount. That way they can work themselves out of the hole they are in by driving to work and pay the fines eventually. Put resrictions on the DL like daylight only or certain hours they work. Also there has to be a limit on how many tickets and violations. Something reasonable like a few minor violations every year. No DUI Remember "Cool Hand Luke" Failure to communicate speech. "Some Men you just can't reach" The article didn't give any details, sounded like a free ride.

Went and saw it back then. I was just the right age too, 13 or so. Like Christine Blasey Ford I cant remember how I got there or who I went with. “Just basic memory functions and also just the level of norepinephrine and the epinephrine in the brain that sort of, as you know, encodes — that neurotransmitter that codes memories into the hippocampus and so the Trauma Awesome Movie-related experience is locked there whereas other details kind of drift,” Ford said. Anyway If the rating was ok went with my friend on Bikes, If not my brother took me. My older Brother took me to alot of Vampire Flicks and other scary ghoulish stuff too. Lots of scantily clad girls!! Saw a string of low budget Star Wars knock offs afterwards including TVs Battle Star Gallactica. The genere got old quick for me. Lost all interest in Space dogfighting/ shoot em up movies by 17 and never watched any of the Star Wars sequel/prequels all the way through in later years. My favorite kid movie memories were this, the Planet of the Apes Sequels and the original POTA, (the best one) I saw on Television Movie of the week probably. Still love those! Sci Fi now to hold my interest doesn't need non stop action. In fact it's better without. The original Blade Runner was just the right balance of action and storyline for example. Remakes of movies like "The Last Man on Earth", "I am legend" suck IMO. Just because you can easily do great CGI effects doesn't mean you have to overload the screen with them. All these super hero movies are guilty of that I think. Too bad because I love Sci-FI. Anyway thanks Grand Torino! Good Thread. Mike

Why isn't MSM complaining or complimenting Trump on Michael? Coverage is dying and I haven't seen much negativity on his handling of it. About 30 killed and a town wiped out. Normally we'd have a panel of angry people on MSNBC, CNN talking smack about global warming and Trumps messed up handling of recovery. Midterms? Juicier stories to paint him bad?

Funny to watch re-runs of "All in the Family". That's about all Meathead ever talked about. Younger people probably don't understand the dialogue or find it funny.

That was a good day for my 10 year old self. All that political stuff was putting a damper on my Television viewing. We only had the 3 networks plus a couple of fuzzy local UHF channels!

Junior Samples approved! Joe Scarborough and Mika ain't gonna like it one bit.

As to the original post about faking the moon landings. The closest I'd ever entertain would be this.... The first landing faked, it was just another orbit of the moon as done previously, because they were not yet ready and wanted to discourage the Soviets. All later landings were real. % I think this possible? .00000001% Too many people would have to be killed to keep it a secret. Back then the secret would maybe be possible, but by now it would be out. For example, Kennedy was a sleeze but the press and everybody kept quiet back then. Now it's all out there no one disputes. Also with today's technology I'm sure experts could look at all the evidence of moon dust from suits and photographs or vids ans prove fakery if it existed.

No offence taken Bersaguy, I'm no mechanic or expert on cars. I was a parts changer in the Army though back in the early 80s.

Some variation of this body style is what I'd go for but not a 8cyl. Speed not needed nowadays. Other contenders for my classic car dream are a Corvaire 2nd bodystyle, 60s Ford falcon, 67ish rambler etc. Basically, a mid 60s to early 70s stock econo car. Anything but a Maverick.

I stand corrected. The swinger body style Plus the 6cyl. engine by whatever name anyway.
