Nah. He's an overweight USD supe. Good guy that bought lots of alcohol for us. Odd tradition, not sure why he should be punished.

Buddy had an ace this afternoon. 175 yd par 3. Marion country Club. 6 iron. God damn I'm drunk.

They stack easier.

That took longer than I expected. Kinder, gentler Surl in this time of universal suffering?

Where the hell you been, Bro? Geriatric sex, firearms and food talk. I expected you earlier.

Elvis has left the building.

I'm waiting for the RW apologists and fanbois to chime in. You know who you are.

A disclaimer. I was eating in the TV room with the plate in my lap so I could see out of the windows and keep an eye on the manhunt. The steak was delicious and I'll cut the first mother that says it LDAF.

Did you ever make it to Hutchison, KS for the annual MCC auction? Mom and her church ladies always made a few quilts to sell. Most of them would bring a couple K. It was amazing how talented these folks were/are. I don't share their dogma but they are some hardworking, industrious, ready-to-give-a-helping-hand folks.

She has her own 9mm. She doesn't shoot often but she hits what she shoots at. Tough farmgirl that can be more self-reliant than many of the men I know. Too stubborn to ever ask for help. We have been together now for 50 years and I can't imagine it without her. I honestly hope I go first.

We were a couple of clicks more modern than Amish or Holdeman. We could have hubcaps and car radios, motherfucker!

Here's the latest cafe scuttlebutt. 3 Hispanic roofers did something furtive and were chased by LEO to my neck of the woods. They ditched their vehicles by my North property line and went west on foot. They tried to get refuge in his outbuildings but the law cornered them there. Two were taken into custody but the third got away. The local County Sheriff and KHP were the agencies that I witnessed but others are claiming that ATF was involved. I dunno. I have heard everything from them being undocumented, to armed robbery, to murder for their transgression but most likely it had more to do with them being unlike 99% of us round here. The only Hispanics in town own and operate the local Mexican Cantina. They will face some backlash, I'm guessing. The Karens want the city to throw all of the brown roofers out of town. Hope they don't mind waiting til Christmas to get their roofs fixed if they do that. Wife and I had a lovely evening in spite of all the commotion. This was the most excitement we've had around here since they blew up our donut shop for "Mars Attacks".

It's all dust and cobwebs. Very little cleanup required.

What I have been able to find out is that 2, maybe 3 suspects were trying to break into my closest neighbors house when one of the neighbors came home. They scattered and the manhunt was on. I drove past a couple of parked vehicles with out of county plates on my way home. They were parked 1/4 mile from the targeted house and the same distance from my house. I'm guessing they were our suspects vehicles. I haven't heard any official news of their capture and Facebook is all over the place. I always have my pistol by the nightstand so business as usual. Maybe sleep with one eye open. I'm sure the local cafe will be buzzing at breakfast tomorrow. I'll update as I get the real news. I'm just glad they went west to my neighbor and not east to my house. Wife was home alone and I hate to think how that could have gone.

You would be mistaken. Headed for the bedroom now that the weather is over on tv. We're old, not broken.

All of the vehicles left but the plane remains. Not sure if it's over or not.

Not drinking yet. Dog is a rat terrier Chihuahua cross.

Looks like something is happening a half mile sw of me. 10-12 vehicles just rolled up in a hurry. There is an old hayshed and outbuildings there. I can only see the tops of the SUVs. Just waiting for the gunfire.

Funny. My dog is a ratcha.

I don't Facebook but a coworker tells me it's getting crazy. Everything from illegal to murderer. A big discussion of the difference between Mexican and Hispanic. I have moved indoors and locked the doors. Better safe than sorry

The Union Pacific runs N-S past my place. I hear the train acomin. I'd be jumping aboard if I were the bad guy.

Ok. Facebook says 5'5" Hispanic with ATF warrants is on the loose. We had a bad hailstorm a couple weeks back so you can't swing a cat without hitting a short Hispanic roofer. Really narrows it down. When all the roofs are fixed we will have 4 Hispanics left.

Wife and I are married 47 years today. Hence the steaks. Memorable for sure.

Backslid Mennonite. Lily white. The deputies wouldn't tell me who is out there but they are clutching their ARs like they are in Kabul.
