FREETHOUGHT FOR Tuesday June 15, 2021:
It's a well known fact that science and scientists take great
delight in debunking some science and scientists. That's how true
science works and how god-based religions are proved to be false.
TODAY'S KING-JAMES-BIBLE PUZZLE, ANOMALY, OR QUESTION:
How did Abraham know that it was God and not Satan who was
telling him to kill Isaac (Gen 22:1-3)? How do we know?
AN OBSERVATION: We defend our President ...................... with guns.
We defend our Congress ...................... with guns.
We defend our Governors .................... with guns.
We defend our Legislators ................... with guns.
We defend our Embassies .................... with guns.
We defend our ...(insert other names)... with guns.
We defend our children ........................ with signs that read
"GUN-FREE ZONE",
and then we call someone with a gun when there is an emergency!
After Kansas adopted "Vermont-style carry", where a government-issued "permit"
is not required to exercise a Constitutional right, most CCH instructors in
this area (including me) stopped offering CCH classes, but someone still
occasionally contacts me wanting a CCH class. I KNOW NOTHING
about either of the following two organizations, and I receive
ABSOLUTELY NO remuneration for listing them here, but I have been
told that:
* Living Water Ranch (4122 Living Water Rd, Olsburg, KS; 785-410-5337)
and
* Godfrey's Indoor Shooting and Archery Ranges (920 N Washington St,
Junction City, KS; 785-238-0094)
are still offering CCH classes. Call them for more information.
I love to teach people, especially beginners, how to shoot rifles and
pistols, and you
can tour my shooting-instruction facilities at
http://mcalhoun.sdf.org/Shooting.html
Tour inside & outside our house at
http://mcalhoun.sdf.org/HouseTour.html NOTE: If you're looking for things to steal/pawn, you
won't find much: we don't even own a TV or stereo; our main
computer runs DOS and was built in 1995; my .22 rifle and
pistol are safely locked away; our "silverware" and
most of our clothes, dishes, and pots-n-pans are either "early
matrimonial" (we've been married 57 years!-)
or are from Goodwill, the Grand ol' Trunk, and/or other thrift stores;
and anything we own that might have
some value has been engraved for easy identification!
Sorry, but that's just our lifestyle.

Our lower pasture is in an official "100-year floodplain" of Wildcat Creek.
You can see what it has looked like
six or seven times since we moved
here in 1972 at
http://mcalhoun.sdf.org/CreekFlood.html (note that 1972-thru-2016 is nowhere near 100 years!)
I haven't taken the time to annotate these, but Wildcat Creek, which bends
in an "ell" around the above lower pasture, has been eroding the "outside"
of the curve for years, and the landowner whose land was being transferred
to our side of the creek (which, according to Kansas law, changed
his land into our land!-) hired someone to rip-rap his bank.
Unfortunately, the rip-rapping company decided to physically drag some of
our new land back to the other side of the creek (which, according
to Kansas law, is not legal), and I just happened to be walking by (without
my camera, unfortunately) while the backhoe was digging. I made a
quick complaint to the rip-rapping company office, and they then atoned
for their "sin" by rip-rapping our side of the curve, too.
