Guns and beer

So today we went to a block shoot. You shoot at a target, and the closest one yo the bulls eye wins a turkey, ham ir side of bacon.

Sitting next to me were two people, who, well, lets say were a little too free with the creature. 

 At 10:00am.


The guy was lamenting about his ex-wife and how he hated her, one more sip of beer, it was how much he loved her.  She said, "Well, at least she didn't do what Jim did to me. I got drunk and passed out and he lit fire to the bed while I was in it."

Then they went over to shoot guns.

Wal*Mart

So,

Last week I went to Wal*Mart. Next door to Wal*Mart is a small airport that features NEPA's largest skydiving concern. For $290 you can get one lesson, the rental of one 'chute and a trip up into the wild blue where they will toss you out over Wal*Mart. The idea is you land back at the airport.

As I drove up, I see about six small people exit a plane and tumble earthbound. (Well, they were small to me from my vantage point, they may have been normal sized people on the ground)

As I parked, the young man next to my car said to the girl next to him, "But I don't understand, how did they get the parachutes all the way up there in the first place??"


And he is old enough to vote.

Sept 12 Back on line

So,
I just put my laptops back on line after the summer of being off line.

I will pick up the pace soon, I hope.

 

So. I will begin again soon.

So, July came and went

With out me posting this:

Or this:

Summer is good and the living is easy.

One of the things most of the Maher family *hates* about life here is that Wal*Mart is about the only place to shop for certain items.

I find it amusing.

Like, I go there to get glue and light bulbs and scotch tape™ and stuff, and about once a month the person cashing out in front of me seems totally bewildered when it comes time to pay.

The cashier will say "That will be $72.09"

And the customer acts like Spotlights came on, TV cameras started rolling, and they were handed the Rosetta  Stone, and asked by Alex Trebek to translate it.

In Limerick form.

In English.

After 240 years, the Britts figured it out.

"Today is our independence day!" "Someone hand me a wiener and a beer!" "Where are the eagles?"

"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Ho...

Shut ya gob, ya barmy git! APPLE PIE! APPLE PIE!

I guess Holmes said it best when he said

I guess the Britts don't want any more of this:

 

Well, May

So.

It is May here, and do you know what? Half way through we get

 

Snow?      SNOW?

To quote Mr. Peavey, "well now, I wouldn’t say that"


 It was just a little snow.
