I took it too, but honestly it was because I knew I'd be in a room with 25 girls. 😆

Cool. People like to laugh at me when I say this but Home Ec was probably the most useful class I took in high school.

This has been the longest "Dog Wars" cycle in recent history. When the 4 lands on a Tuesday you get a 5 day cycle. In our area it is all around you every night. No restrictions and there are 5 fireworks stands within 3 miles of our house.

My meal for the day. Along with some spinach and a baked potato. With butter. Lots of butter.

How many of you Android folks are still zapping notes?

Oh yeah...we didn't have to choose whether or not to bow to tryanny 😉 Long live note zaps! I'll "pay for" any "digital content" I like.

Costco is great, you have to follow two rules and only two.

1. Don't go near the place on a weekend, at all, ever.

2. Same and more so with holidays.

Do that and it is a great store. About 11 AM on a Tuesday is perfect.

The 21-Foot Handgun Drill is Bullshit, Always Has Been

This drill unfolds as follows: a guy with a knife in hand initiates an attack and usually "wins", meaning he touches the gun guy with a fake knife before the gun guy can fake shoot the knife guy.

As if that is a "kill". As if the gun guy can't now shoot the knife guy many, many times. But that isn't even the real bullshit.

Have the knife guy put the knife in a scabbard, and let the gun guy initiate the attack. The bull 💩 becomes instantly obvious. The real lesson is that the attacker, in all situations, tends to have the advantage. This is true from a street attack all the way up to state-on-state military conflict.

The attacker doesn't always win but, statistically, wins far more often than not. Look at every major war in history, and you'll see this is the case. In fact, the nations that we often say "lost" — like Germany in WWII — only lost when they stopped being the attacker and became the defender.

Some reading this won't like it because it grates against the "taught truth", but the taught truth is taught because it's seldom simply true. It is, instead, a construct that generally is false. In many instances, it's the truth hiding in a lie, as it is here.

What the drill should teach you is that having a gun doesn't guarantee you'll survive or win in a fight, even if your attacker doesn't have one. Substitute a hammer for the knife, and the attack becomes even more potentially deadly. You're more likely to survive a stab wound than a blow to the head with a ball peen hammer that can be bought in any hardware store for under 20 bucks.

You could be a Navy SEAL, a Green Beret — it doesn't matter. If someone wants you dead and you don't know it, you're likely dead. The most badass soldier you know can be approached from behind and hit in the head, resulting in death in less than a second. People hate this type of truth because it makes them realize how at risk they really are. That's the point of the 21-foot drill, but most people who teach it don't understand the real lesson.

So the narrative from the MSM is

1. A guy sold hot dogs on the street in the USSR and spent time in the clink for petty shit.

2. He then became a rich restaurant owner and Putin's personal chef

3. In his spare time he was "the guy who used Russian disinformation to get Trump elected in 2016".

4. He then ended up running a personal private Army of 10K men

5. He then turns on Putin and marches his army toward Moscow

6. Then with no confrontation at all he stopped, turned around and went back

7. This is all 100% accurate reporting by the American media.

This then all results in "It is time to send more money and weapons to Ukraine".

But people like me are the conspiracy theorists? 🤷

Fuck those things! 😂

There might be some things your local extension office can tell you in order to get your trees to produce again.
