Race and racism has been on my mind all weekend. The KKK has been in our area for about a month now and they dropped one of their propaganda bombs in my driveway late last week, a flyer in a zip-lock baggie with a handful of landscaping rocks to give it some heft as they tossed it out of their car window.
Edited because I shared some things I decided I didn't want shared.
I sure hope y’all’s are having a better weekend than we are.
130 pounds!
ReplyDeleteThat is a Big Dog!
Our 'little' one weighs in at about 75, and our 'big' one is about 85.
And they're both rock-solid muscle. Woe betide the person who intrudes here after Lights Out!
I'm surprised those jerks still operate anywhere. Around here, they'd be met with quite a hostile response. I think for the night-time scenario you mentioned, I might have to bring out the heavy rifles.
ReplyDeleteI think the Treyvon/Zimmerman bruhaha down in FL lured them out of the woodwork, since that's about when they started littering neighborhoods in this area with their propaganda. At night I prefer the 870, it's the only long gun I have with a light on it and I don't want to risk sending stray rounds through my neighbors houses. Besides, the sound of a shotgun racking has a near universal pucker factor that I find lacking in the sound of slapping a new magazine in.

DeleteIt sounds like you are well guarded. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're very intimidating dogs until they get to know you, and then they turn into LARGE lap dogs.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I constantly joke with each other about how "Evil, mean, and vicious" Pit Bulls are, while our two are snoozing at our feet.
But, just like with ANY dog, f you raise them right they'll be very loving, and if you raise them with cruelty, they can snap at even their owners.
I have known lots of nice pits, and a few not so nice ones. I don't have an issue with the breed, they just aren't my kind of dog. I love the Dobies :)
