Lime. Lots and lots of Lime.

Don't be hatin on my field artillery gun with a flame thrower attachment.

Yeah, at some point I look for Darryl to have to kill Merle to protect Carol. But first there will be smaller fights to build up to it.

Check the booklet that came with your Michelins (no doubt buried in the back of your glove box by now). Most Michelins come with free road-side assistance. AAA used to be good for getting custom route maps printed up (free for members) but now we all have GPS and smartphones. The only thing I use AAA for is filing for an international drivers license when traveling outside the country. Usually a US DL is fine, but you never know when der Polizei will decide to make your life difficult.

It was either on "Into The Wild" or "Survivorman" that I saw something about that. The tail is loaded with rich fat. It looked kind of like a well marbled ribeye steak, but without the ribeye

Another vote for D&T.

Only if the property is posted. If it's just some crap in an employee handbook, it's not breaking the law. It might be a bad business move to carry there, but it's not breaking any law. Anywho...back to ankle carry. I'm not so sure that ankle is a big improvement over IWB when driving. I did some practice drawing with mine and found that the steering wheel is really in the way when trying to use my left hand to pull up my pants leg to expose the gun, leaning forward, and drawing with my right hand. I have long legs, so maybe that won't apply to everyone. It's definitely not my first choice in ways to carry. It's a little more awkward having the weight at my ankle instead of my waist, it takes longer to draw, and I'm much more self-conscious when using the ankle holster. Still, I'm glad I have the option when IWB/OWB/AK-47-across-the-back isn't feasible.

Look for the Daryl v Merle to involve Carol in some way. Come to think of it, that would make sense if it was indeed Merle watching Carol.

Skunk ape.....

Notice that applies to non-student adults. Registered students don't get that allowance.

I use a Remora IWB with a Kahr PM9 at about 4 o'clock. I wouldn't want to use a Remora in anything larger. I've tried a G26 in one and it was OK, but a more traditional IWB holster would probably be better. I have used a Crossbreed Supertuck (w/G19) and Comptac Minotaur (w/XDsc). Both are good, but I'd have to vote Crossbreed over CompTac. A good gun belt makes all the difference with anything heavier than the pocket guns, but I suppose that's true in IWB and OWB.

I should add that for now they have lost Andrea. She's a fighter.

I don't think the peeping-Tom is in the prison. I think he/she is watching from the tree line. It could be Merle, but I think they'll save him for later in the season. I'd like to see the 2 remaining prisoners hook back up with the group. They've lost Shane, Merle, Dale, Otis, the couple of farm hands, and the guy whose name I can't recall that got scratched when they fled the quarry for the CDC (left him under a tree with a revolver to ease his pain). The group now has 3 solid fighters with Rick, T-Dog, and Daryl. Glenn isn't there yet, but is getting better. Frankly, they need the muscle and at least one of the two convicts could bring it if they could be vetted to not be psycho-killers like their now deceased leader.

Can anyone tell me what ammendment 3 on the Nashville ballot is about?

<<Cross-post with Jonnin again>> Don't forget that government and capitalist companies aren't the only sources of R&D money. The medical R&D world is running on lots of private donations and trusts. It gets government and corporate dollars too, but it does get some of its funding from private sources. Research into rare or unprofitable disease is a great example. <<New thought>> Do mainstream envrionmental groups like The Sierra Club, WWF, NWF, Audubon Society, NRDC, etc. fund research of renewable energy? If not, they should. The end result of renewables plays very much into their stated goals. Same for the fringe-lunatic groups like ELF and Greenpeace, but I don't expect anything productive from them.

Railroad execs were too short sighted. They thought they were in the railroad business instead of the transportation business. Had they seen it coming, things could have gone very differently. I think we'd either have had railroads holding/hiding aero-space and automobile patents to prevent their use, or we'd have Union-Pacific Regional Airways taking us to see grandma on Thanksgiving after driving to the airport in our CSX cars.

Now that's a much more intelligent and reasonable position than your "damn the torpedoes" OP.

It's absolutley worth investing in. The question is: should the government be investing in it? People used to have the same attitude towards "horseless carriages" and railroads. [old codger voice] What are you going to do when that dad-blamed contraption breaks down? Or when you run out of steam? I'll keep my horse thank you very much. He runs forever and fuels himself with cheap and abundant grass. Nevermind that the streets are filled with his poop, he travels at a slow speed, and comes with a standard 1 horsepower engine. [/old codger voice] Maybe the so called green energy stuff we have today isn't going to pan out. Early steam cars didn't either. But they paved the way for other things that did. If the costs can come down and the outputs come up, renewable energy tech makes a lot of sense for a variety of reasons. To get there is going to take a lot of investment in research and large scale manufacturing. I'd prefer that be the private sector and in many ways it is. GE does a lot of research in wind and solar. All of the major car companies have some form of a battery lab. Research labs at universities get grants from the government, private foundations, and private companies (GE, Oracle, Sharp, Mitsubishi, etc). At this stage in the technology, I'm OK with gov't grants to research facilities for discovering new technologies, materials, etc. Once that stuff is found though, let the private sector find new ways to take that to market. I don't think the government needs to be bankrolling the companies that manufacture green energy products/components, but to say that the tech shouln't be researched and invested in is a bit narrow-minded. Government policies regarding taxation can also promote private investment in the research and manufacturing. I'm all for that if it's done responsibly and not as kickbacks to campaign contributors. The touted benefit of renewables being less polluting is sketchy in my mind. I can't tell if the energy, mining, and industrial waste created by making renewable energy components is any better or worse than traditional sources, based on various studies that I've perused. But if it is indeed less polluting, why wouldn't we want it? I'm no tree-hugging granola-eating patchoulli-wearing clove-smoking drum-beating hippie, but I sure like hiking and camping in the mountains, seeing healthy populations of deer, bear, turkey, and other wildlife (for watching and for hunting), drinking clean water, eating clean produce, and breathing fresh air. I want the generations after us to have the same, or better. If switching from fossil fuels to renewables can accomplish that at a comparable price, we'd be fools not to take it. For now, the cost/price component just isn't there. There is 1 big benefit to renewable energy technology that I think many TGOers can appreciate. It can be decentralized. Right now I'm 100% dependent on NES getting some juice from the TVA who makes it from big plants (coal, gas, hydro, nuclear). I could put solar cells on my roof, solar film on my windows, geothermal under my house, and a wind turbine in the back yard and not be dependent on TVA/NES. Ice storm on the way? Who cares. It would look like crap, annoy the neighbors, and cost so much I'd have to stay in the house for 25+ years to get the payoff financially. Those are the current problems than I think can be solved with more investment in the technologies. Again, that doesn't have to be government investment. In many ways, our own homes are microcosms of the world energy trade. We hear lots of talk of our nation being energy independent, while individually we couldn't be any more dependent on others. I know the politics are different (TVA doesn't want to blow us up, for example), but the constraints are similar. "Green" energy tech can be part of the solution to both national and individual depenedence on others. It just has to grow up first. Personally, I can't wait for renewables to be viable. ETA: Cross-post with Jonnin. +1 to what he said.

Besides, the flat black is so 2011. The new look is chromed. It's not a full chrome dip, but a paint and coating that looks like chrome.

A Liger. Or Nessie. I'm torn.

I picked some up at the new Nashville Armory over by 100 Oaks yesterday. They have a decent selection.

It is indeed a Pro-Tech that I like well enough. The horrible one is a brand called Bagmaster. I picked it up at Greene M&P.

I have (I think) a Pro-Tech. It's fine and is a lot cheaper than the Galco. I carry a PM9 inside weak-side. I have considered getting the Galco band-style. It looks to be a bit thinner. I have another one that I hate. It's huge. I'll post the brand name up later when I get home and can check it.
