    “We all know it would have involved lead and a shovel.”
    — Ann Barnhardt, 2023

    As usual, Ann is a bare fisted brawler with clangers twice a big as the entire US congress and all of it’s employees and subcontractors.

    Oh yeah, the moff is exemplary.
    A small brown one landed on my hand late last night as I trudged from the dungeon to the docile domain across the bridge of sighs. I didn’t realize it had lighted until I got inside the house. I went to the kitchen sink and flicked it off my hand and straight down the hole of doom in the middle, then I hit the switch. buh-byyy. Don’t need it landing on my snoot at 3am.

    4 days ago I posted a link that I use for purchasing online silver.
    US Mint, 90% silver coins
    Today my order showed up.
    (10) Peace Dollars
    https://www.jmbullion.com/peace-silver-dollar/

    Can’t beat that kind of service.

    Well, I’ve got to run to keep from hidin’,
    And I’m bound to keep on ridin’.
    And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
    But I’m not gonna let ’em catch me, no,
    Not gonna let ’em catch the Midnight Rider.

    And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing,
    And the road goes on forever,
    And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
    But I’m not gonna let ’em catch me, no
    Not gonna let ’em catch the Midnight Rider.

    And I’ve gone by the point of caring,
    Some old bed I’ll soon be sharing,
    And I’ve got one more silver dollar,

    But I’m not gonna let ’em catch me, no
    Not gonna let ’em catch the Midnight Rider.

    No, I’m not gonna let ’em catch me, no
    Not gonna let ’em catch the Midnight Rider.

    No, I’m not gonna let ’em catch me, no
    Not gonna let ’em catch the Midnight Rider.

    I don’t know if there has been any buzz about “Sound of Freedom” but I’ve finally seen it and it’s an awesome movie. The fact that it’s kicking “The dial of desperation” ass is just a bonus.

    The movie doesn’t have a hundred million dollar marketing budget so they are relying on word of mouth. And something unique, “Pay it Forward”. Go to their site and either claim or purchase a ticket. You can buy a ticket for someone else to claim and go see the movie, or you can claim a ticket that someone else bought. I bought two free tickets, go claim them and be enlightened.

      This is really a time I wish Gerard was still among us, to comment about “Sound of Freedom”. I have read a variety of responses to it. I saw it July 5th with my wife. I thought it was very good and addresses something that needs to be brought to light.
      Some have said it was “hard to watch”, etc. There were a couple of scenes that were almost heartbreakingly sad, but nothing graphic or awful. There is some edge of your seat tension and drama, as you don’t quite know how it will turn out.
      Going to see it, and paying for it (or …Pay It Forward) sends its own message to those who…well, let’s just say they are on the other side. It is a movie well worth seeing.
      Fox Studios made the movie, and then when Disney bought Fox, they pretty much buried it. Angel Studios fought with them to get the rights, and then had to battle to get it distributed. There are a few things in the movie that are “fictional”, but the thrust of the movie is basically true.

    The US celebrates the National Ice Cream Day on the third Sunday of every July, and that day is TODAY!
    YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

    Shannon and me are gonna sit on the porch this afternoon and each of us will have a BIG bowl of vanilla! She’ll have it all over her chin when she’d done so I’ll throw her into the pool to “warsh” it off.

    I don’t actually throw her in.
    I throw a cookie in and she’s on it like steenk on a monkey.
    The pool bottom is white and the water is so clear that under high sunlight she looks like she’s hovering in mid air.

    I had too much to dream last night.
    Woke up tired.
    Hate it when that happens.
