THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Happy birthday.

Today is Naomi's birthday. you can tell her happy birthday here.

In other news, last night I got called in to work. The very first delivery, they lost control of their dog. He ran out the door and tried his best to bite me. I was moving so all he got was the leg of my jeans. Luckily there wasn't any blood. That's the second time since I took this job. The first one bit me on the finger. There was a little blood that time, but nothing major. One of those little dust-mop looking dogs. But at least I didn't shoot him.

Today, aside from Naomi's birthday, would have been dad's 90th. He died in 1980 at 55 years old. I still miss him. After high school, when I joined the Marines, we became more than father and son. When I was home on leave, we were drinking buddies and I got a lot of good advice from him. Some of it I followed, some I didn't.

Happy birthday dad, I wish we could have one more talk.
