TWRA hasn't ever come to get deer from Dad's house. The guys who shot them take them to be processed. Dad just keeps a log of what gets culled.

Contact TWRA about getting a nuisance permit. My parents had one for several years. Mom has a big flower garden and the deer ate everything. When the agent drove up to the house to assess the damage, he got out of the truck and said he'd seen more than enough just coming up the driveway to justify the permit.

It's a bit of work. First you need a few acres in an area where deer might be. Then you plant some corn, turnips, oats, ... stuff like that. Then you tend the garden, watch for deer, and practice your marksmanship until fall. Then you set up a blind or tree stand where the deer pass by. Then you get up really early on a cold and wet morning and go harvest one.

Welcome, and thank you for your service.

Welcome!

We've been eating cucumbers, zucchini, and tomatoes for a couple weeks. We're getting close to having enough okra to fill up a frying pan. We also have a single pumpkin on the vine.

I was fortunate to have him as a teacher. While he was also the wrestling coach, his class wasn't the typical "coach's class", especially when you were one of his wrestlers. He made it interesting without getting too bogged down in the math. We did lots of experiments and demonstrations of various concepts, which helped me a lot. Pure sodium in a beaker of water was particularly memorable.

My 9th grade physics teacher was the only teacher in the system with a PhD.

Given the comment from the camera guy that they both went flying past which prompted him to get his phone out and start recording, there's no way that was a surprise. Which makes me think of another point... Always be the first to call. Had the idiot on the bike pulled over and call the cops saying "this lunatic tried to kill me and made another car flip over", he'd be in a completely different position now. But since he kept going, now he's the bad guy who's got some explaining to do.

I understood your point and don't necessarily disagree. As you're well aware, its pretty difficult to make a bike fall over at 70 mph so brushing the barrier isn't that big of a deal. People need to grow a pair, be a man, and let stupid #### go. Personally, I hope he and his buddy in the sedan buy the victim a new truck, cover his hospital bills, lost wages, etc., and send him on a month long Hawaiian vacation with his extended family.

Odd, all I see is 2 complete idiots destroying a bystander's truck and sending him to the hospital in the process.

You can't fix stupid, and there's a whole lot of stupid there.

There's Starbucks in lots of big office buildings. They're generally in a lobby type areas not behind the security gates. I'd guess the employees do have to pass a background check prior to being hired, but it's not any sort security clearance.

Payback's a b!tch. Just sayin'.

I see what you did there....

Our guys stay closer than 2 miles from the action? Very impressive shot regardless.

Pocket clip in the back pocket with my handkerchief. Wallet in other back pocket. I used to carry clipped to front pocket but found I'm in/out of those pockets so much the knife got in the way most of the time.

Kids doing dumb kid things is normal. I get the (perhaps incorrect) impression that Dave wasn't talking about 20 yr olds. If a 20 yr old with an American passport really thinks being touristy in North Korea is a good idea.... those mistakes were made long before.

Wow. Wonder how many mules it took to haul that around? I dare say the classic "20 mule team" wouldn't be adequate.

Better yet to teach your kids not to associate with those who might try to pressure them into doing something dumb.

What is that?

While I do try to tone it down, mostly for language reasons, I never gave mine much choice about the music. My house/car, I'll listen to what I want and there'a only so much Veggie Tales I can take. My wife is/was a country/pop fan but has slowly been assimilated. She can readily identify a number of bands and only complains when it's really loud. My guitar is an Ibanez from the 90's. I'm terrible, but its an outlet.

They were ok. It seemed like their PA wasn't optimized for a space as large as the arena, so it sounded muddy to me. But I remember them and like the song above... I've got SiriusXM channels through my Dish service. I run it through my home stereo a lot. I listen mostly to Ozzy's Boneyard just cause I'm old school like that, and the unintelligible screaming from a lot of metal bands doesn't do a thing for me. My boys like it pretty well... The younger one (shown) is known to crank the stereo up when something good is playing and run around the house "air" singing emphatically into something roughly microphone shaped. Future front man material? The older one is in a "50's rock and roll" phase. He loves Elvis, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, ... No complaints from me as I like them too.

Saw them when they opened for Metallica years ago. They certainly seem to have come into their own.
