Every teacher knows you need more guns to stop more guns.Oh, boy, what could possibly go wrong here...
"training required, including 18 hours of “general training” needed to go armed in schools. Two hours of handgun training are also required, according to changes spelled out in committee by state Rep. D.J. Swearingen, R-Huron."
Armed teachers bill passes Ohio House - Ohio Capital Journal
Some teachers-turned-legislators urged their colleagues to vote against a bill to authorize school boards to allow teachers and other school personnel to come armed to school.ohiocapitaljournal.com
Those life straws are pretty terrible hollow fiber filters. Instead, a “Sawyer Mini” is a more reliable filter that you can actully back flush to keep it clean. And it’s only $20.Not a bad price on these for your EOTWAWKI pack or glove box.
don't sell yourself short, you're an exceptional arsehole
You guys are too kind... I'm just another garden variety arsehole, like everyone else
i got up at 3 (peak was suppposed to be around 4 here) to see what was going on, there was fog so thick the moon was just a small slightly brighter area, so i went back to bedDesert sky report
Yesterday, good skies. Three fighter types, a KC-10, and Yellow Bird, a T-6 Texan in immaculate and correct paint with one Navy(?) star under the right wing. It comes through at altitude, maybe 15000 feet, and I have not had a good look at the tail or side markings. But it’s been through for the last several days, from south and then kicking around north and east. I’m thinking this is some sort of air tour outfit, with the frequency and similarity of flights. That radial is audible a long way out!

Yesterday lots of high ice cloud that made for sun dogs, a great colored circle around the sun, and briefly a faint fire rainbow near zenith.
Paulie woke me early this am, which was super convenient for seeing the eclipse. I lucked into a hole in the clouds and took snaps. 10 minutes before

By 3am it was again moon-bright out.

Thanks for the real life update! I was just about ready to order thru AmazonThose life straws are pretty terrible hollow fiber filters. Instead, a “Sawyer Mini” is a more reliable filter that you can actully back flush to keep it clean. And it’s only $20. Sure, you have to put the water in a bag first. But it comes with the bag…lol.
Yeah, I keep a sawyer mini as my backup, and something called a Katadyn Be Free as my primary filter. It just filters so much faster, it makes life on the trail a little bit easier.Thanks for the real life update! I was just about ready to order thru Amazon
We used to call that the racetrack. I watched a 22 and a couple F-16 in a holding pattern. The 16's were doing the typical banking to make the circle, the 22 was kind of rotating on it's own axis. Vectored thrust is amazing.They’re busy up there today! These came by again, pair of -22s.

To the SE many short very twisted bits of contrail, probably someone engaging in fightery maneuvers.
A well-placed scrap of cirrus = rainbow penis!

Yeah, when I watched one do some sort of stall/ spin stuff. It recovered quickly every time from attitudes that in an F-4 meant “ejection imminent”.We used to call that the racetrack.
