FREETHOUGHT FOR Monday October 14, 2024:
I'm not ashamed to claim that my distant ancestors are of the ape family.
However, many Christians and other goddist sects are appalled by the very idea
and much prefer to be the descendants of a clod of earth and rampant incest.
TODAY'S KING-JAMES-BIBLE PUZZLE, ANOMALY, OR QUESTION:
How could a star hover over a building with sufficient precision
to indicate that building and no other (Matt 2:9)?
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 Police . . . . . . . . . with guns.
We defend our Politicians . . . . . . . with guns.
We defend our (insert other entity) . . 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 "permission slip"
is not required to exercise a Constitutional right, most CCH instructors in
Kansas (including me) stopped offering CCH classes (and the KS Attorney
General's office stopped updating its official "CCH INSTRUCTOR" list), but
someone still occasionally contacts me inquiring about a class.
HOWEVER, as of 2 July, 2024,
GODFREY'S INDOOR SHOOTING AND ARCHERY RANGES
920 N. WASHINGTON STREET, JUNCTION CITY, KS,
still offers occasional classes;
call 785-238-0094-1 for more information.
FWIW, I receive NO remuneration for including the above
information on this webpage.
OTHER GOOD STUFF (at least I think so!)

Back when I could see better, I loved teaching people how to shoot rifles
and pistols, and you
can tour my shooting-instruction facilities at

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 60 years!-) or are from Goodwill, the Grand ol' Trunk,
and/or other thrift stores; and anything we own that might have any value at
all has been engraved for easy identification! Sorry, but that's just
our lifestyle.
A few pictures that can't be characterised other than "miscellaneous"
http://mcalhoun.sdf.org/Miscellaneous.html
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-2023 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.
