FREETHOUGHT FOR Saturday March 6, 2021:
An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane. He
turned to her and asked, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker
if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied
to the man and, despite the fact he was a total stranger,
asked, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there
is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?"
"Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you
a question first. A horse, a cow, and a rabbit all eat the same stuff --
grass. Yet a rabbit excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a
flat patty and a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The atheist, surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
The little girl said, "How do you feel qualified to discuss God,
Heaven and Hell, or life after death when you don't know shit?"

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
calls me every month or so asking about a CCH class. I recently
learned that the Living Water Ranch (4122 Living Water Road, Olsburg,
KS) is still offering an occasional CCH class:
Kansas Concealed Carry Class, 9 a.m. Designed for the State of Kansas concealed carry instructional
requirements, the course will cover a basic introduction to handguns and
proper firearm care and maintenance. The course will be eight hours.
Bring lunch, note-taking materials, a pistol or revolver, and
at least 50 rounds of ammunition. The range is outdoors, so
dress appropriately for the weather.
Cost: $100.
Call 785-410-5337 for details and registration.
Full disclosure: I receive NO remuneration for this
public-service announcement!
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 56 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.
