  1. You nailed it, and as has been said "Never let a crisis go to waste..." Combine the above fear you describe with politicians (and their constituencies) demanding that they "DO SOMETHING!" And you get shit laws. There's a bias towards action versus inaction in people's minds; "doing something" e.g. passing a new law, banning a gun, banning brown people, etc is "meaningful" - even if it doesn't actually change anything. Here's the problem: nothing will change. It would require laws on the order of 100x the scale of what we're conceiving (probably unconstitutional) to move the needle. The raw truth that the population can't handle is this: People (including kids) dying in shootings is the price of the freedom embodied in the 2nd amendment. Terrorists blowing buildings up is the cost of our free and open society. These things will continue so long as we remain a free and open society - and even turning into a dictatorship can't stop it (see: terrorists still attack Russia ala the theater attack). It's called reality - many have trouble dealing with that.
  2. Got the bagger attachment for my ZTM so I could bag the first cut. Holy shit, between the leaves and cutting it lower I made about 40 of those Lowe’s bags. Is it common for oaks to shed their leaves in the Spring? Mine hung on all winter ...
  3. My main worry at this point is that we'll be too shitty to do anything in the playoffs, but too good to get anything decent via draft. KL is incredible, but is there any precedent for this type of injury having a year+ rehab?
  4. I'm really liking the new GMG Sierra Denali. They sent me this email accounting the "ATC" option package, which I guess is like their version of TRD or FX4? Pretty slick IMO:
