Was going to go to the gun club today, but decided to goof off here instead. I spent the morning letting the tegus (lizards) wander around the living room and cleaning cages. TegTeg's gotten big now, around 4 feet in length, if not more. I think the red tegu is female. She was a rescue that was supposed to be a year old. That would make her two now ( Read more... )

At least they've been found guilty. Betcha the bastards get off with slaps to the wrists, though.

I went to the local gun show this weekend, and now I'm happy and broke (well, not quite, but getting there fast!). My latest acquisitions are an m/96 Swedish mauser and a Cimarron model P. I don't usually care for .38, but I'm thinking about getting into SASS shooting, and I wanted something lightweight with minimal recoil. The Cimarron is a fairly ( Read more... )

I've always been godawful nearsighted. Then, earlier this year (Jan. 14th, precisely...it happened fast!), my near vision went. too. The ink faded; the words blurred. Dreaded Old-Person Vision was upon me. Now, I can't even hold onto a pair of sunglasses for a week without losing them. If bifocals or reading glasses were in my future, they probably ( Read more... )

Two young men (18 and 20 years old) in Pierce, Washington, tied a Siberian Husky (or Husky-like dog) to a tree near an elementary school and shot arrows into it until it finally bled to death. Each time they shot the dog, they pulled the arrow out, so they could shoot him again with it. A witness said they shot the dog at least 10 times. When it ( Read more... )

Stole this link from kaOs's LJ. I couldn't believe it (as I live in Georgia)! Any other Georgians heard anything about this?

At 3 a.m. Friday morning I decided that I want go to Bolivia for my vacation in September. At 3:15 a.m., I woke my husband up to tell him we had to go to Bolivia. He said, "Gahgh..gah...huh?" He's used to my waking him up at 3 a.m. with news like that. Yesterday, I broached the subject of vacations again. He said, "Europe is cheap." I said, " ( Read more... )

The humidity is too low for my poor tegus. That means almost every afternoon they have to take a nice warm soak in the bathtub. The red tegu, who used to behave like hellspawn, isn't much of a problem. He's mastered the evil glare and has an impressively indignant huff, but overall, he's really calmed down and will even lie on my lap or shoulder ( Read more... )

So, I've gathered all the myriad recipe ingredients on the countertop in preparation for making a wonderful stuffed pumpkin dish, when I notice one key ingredient has suddenly disappeared. Where are the pine nuts? Like all "where" questions in our house, this one leads immediately to the question: Where is the Husky? Of course. The Husky's on the ( Read more... )
