Best Of
It was a pretty evening down by the lake....
Worked all day on various projects. Headed out and brought home some catfish dinners for my bride and I for supper. It cooled off nicely so I headed over to the conservation area and caught a few small bass and the gillies were biting. Just before sundown the skeeter bites were outnumbering the fish bites so I took a few pics and headed home. Several deer out and about tonight, too dark for any decent pics of them..
I really like this time of year....
Hope you all had a good Friday !!
Panhandlers......wow
Driving around Columbia MO yesterday, while in town doing some business. Columbia is a squishy, liberal, college town in the middle of a conservative state. Every major intersection in town has panhandlers with their little signs. I generally will talk with the folks standing there and if I feel moved to help, I will generally offer food. 99 percent of the time they will decline and ask for money. I generally decline at that point...
Yesterday there was a guy on a 3 foot wide divider between four lanes. He was reclined there and seemed to be asleep or on the nod.. His leg was hanging out in the turn lane and all of us had to carefully go around the dude. I was pleased to see a Police car a few cars behind me pull over and take care of the issue..
I drove back by a couple hours later and he was back....sitting on a little stool....
I fear someone will get run over one of these days over there.......
Re: Panhandlers......wow
Same problems around here. Panhandlers, beggars, illegals and BUMS. I use to always donate when someone was out holding a sign asking for help, it seemed it was the right/Christian thing to do. It gets me, they can’t speak a word of english, yet their holding up a sign written in perfect english asking for food, gas, need help with rent, have kids and so on, all on the same sign. I believe in helping people that truly need help but this is becoming ridiculous.
Couple of weeks ago I had two guys pull up to me in the parking lot of Walmart, they were in a nice brand new jeep. This one guy in the jeep says to me in broken English, “ we need some gas, you can have this ring”, and then holds out this big fake gold ring. I just took out my drivers license looked at it and said, the name on my license says John xxxxxx, not Johnny stupid. I just through the ring in their jeep and walked off.
More illegals have come across are boarder in the last 3 years than troops we put in Europe during WW2. A stinking invasion.

I don't allow smoking in the woods.

Re: Did I hear the whitehouse closed our border?
can you trust anything they say???????? to hear them the world is perfect except for Trump, and if you disagree with anything they say you are a racist.....
I'm always amazed at what I can see out back.
As I was eating breakfast this morning a huge flock of geese flew over, headed NORTH.
Then about 10 minutes later a doe ran toward our west woods. Pretty soon a young buck went toward the woods also. After about 5 minutes the doe walked back out of the woods, with a big smile on her face.
You just don't see that all the time in the city.
