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.

Indeed, happy Father's Day gentlemen!

Welcome!

I'd prefer thoroughly, meticulously, or comprehensively vetted instead of heavily....

Sounds like you have a fascinating collection. I have an M48 and 91/30 and my experience shooting them is the opposite with surplus ammo. The Mosin can bite if you're not paying attention, but the Mauser is a friggin cannon. It's fun, but I think I've got a lifetime supply of ammo for it.

I got the same "common sense" registration argument from a coworker the other day. He opined that registration would provide extra motivation for people to not leave guns laying around and make it easier for the cops to determine who owns guns used in crimes. He compared it to car registration. My response was ... so you're saying a car owner should have some liability if they leave their car unlocked and it gets stolen and used in a crime? No, I'm just talking about all these cases where kids pick up guns left laying about and shoot one another. How is registration going to fix that? It'll give people incentive to not leave guns laying around. So fear of liability? How's that any different from now? In most instances like that I'm aware of, the owner of the gun has been quite easy to find. And you think people who would otherwise leave a loaded gun laying around in the presence of small children will be motivated by knowing their gun is registered? Yes. Um... ok.

I have one of these... http://www.511tactical.com/push-pack.html It started life as daddy's diaper bag, but was promoted to get home bag duty once that phase ended. It's small and light enough that I can't over pack it and end up having to lug a 40lb bag around. It contains all the usual stuff... knife, cord, energy bars, water bottles, bug spray, sun screen, lighter, flashlight, first aid kit, etc. I've also got some MRE type meals and sterno cans that live elsewhere in the car. I also have a tool kit, fire extinguisher, tow strap, a couple old towels, more rope, and probably some other stuff that lives in the car. I keep extra warm clothes (boots, pull over, toboggan, wool socks) in the winter.

Wow. That'll get your attention for sure.
