Exactly!

After debating 3125 to death today, they ran out of time and put off voting on it until next Tuesday.

It sounded like Speaker Williams saved the day by being there and voting. Did I hear that right?

Could it be the Pro Gun Legislators have decided to get behind HB2694 instead of HB3125? It seems like a better bill and everyone seemed to be all for it when it was discussed here a month or so ago.

OK, so you will be subject to a $500 fine for being in violation of this new law. What about your permit? Can they take that away for the same violation?

The movie is "The Ghost Breakers" (1940).

Me and my wife flew to AZ in 2008 and spent about 12 days just driving around the State and seeing the sights. It sounds like you've pretty much seen most of what we got to see on our trip. I agree with everyone about the Grand Canyon. We've been to both the South Rim and North Rim and they are both spectacular in their own way. It doesn't sound like you have a lot of time but if you are in the northern area, don't miss Page, AZ. That was a totally unexpected highlight of our trip. There you will see Horshoe Bend which is one of the most awsome sights you'll ever see - standing on a 1300 foot cliff, looking down at the Colorado River. Antelope Canyon, Glen Canyon Dam, and a float down the River is also terrific. And as was mentioned, Zion National Park (just over the border in Utah) is another must see before you die. On the other hand, I just realized its winter out there too. I don't know how cold it gets in a lot of those areas this time of year, but I know it gets pretty cold at times. A lot of what you could normally do in warm weather may not work right now. Just have to wait and see. Good luck and be safe.

Did a search and didn't find this linked before. I've never heard of Dustin Evans but if he wrote this song he deserves any award they give for such things as this.

Very well written response Olds.

Good way to start the day. Funny stuff!

Remember Festus from Gunsmoke? Here is a video of him singing "Tumbling Tumlelweeds." Its hard to imagine someone with such a good singing voice could talk like Festus did.

I like HB2694 better but I can live with this. And either is certainly better than what Sen. Jackson first proposed back a couple months ago.

Love it!

Thanks for posting.

Here is a video of one of my all time favorite songs. I heard this the first time on a jukebox in Petersburg Va. when I was stationed at Ft. Lee in 1971. If you ever broke up with someone who done ya wrong you can feel these lyrics. Its a clip from the old Hee Haw Show and its sad to realize how many of those in the video are now gone.
