Power Play?

Posted by Yabu at 09:39 AM
Hell if I know, but two aircraft carrier strike groups have arrived in the Arabian Sea, or are on the way. The USS Carl Vinson strike force arrived in the Arabian Sea a few days ago, the USS Abraham Lincoln, and her support, is on the way. The USS John C. Stennis is still there, [...]

Best Man

Posted by Yabu at 07:50 AM
I knew instantly, when I looked at the caller ID on my phone, it was going to be a bad one. Time of the call. My best friend, and Best Man when the Juju Woman and I got formally synced up in the eyes of The Maker, has moved on to the next level. He died [...]

Doing The Math

Posted by Yabu at 06:36 AM
This is worth watching. Anyway, after Silent America was published, I bought twenty or so copies to gift to friends and their older children (stocking suffers) at Christmas. You should read them, Bill whittle has a way of putting things in perspective. I don’t know if it’s available in a e-book format, if not, snag [...]

The Signs They Are A Changin’

Posted by Yabu at 07:25 PM
Stretch and I did a mobile patrol today. Believe it or not, he likes riding in my car…it is a German car, so he feels some hereditary Juju, and rides well. We’re looking at this house down the street that has been on the market for three + years. When it was first listed, they [...]

Smart Kid With A Pair

Posted by Yabu at 10:08 AM
In the town right down the road. Three days ago. A 14 year old boy and his 17 year old sister were home alone. A dirtball kicked in the front door (in broad daylight) and entered brandishing a gun, and pointed it at his sister. 14 year boy grabs his father’s shotgun and shot the [...]

Shared Concern

Posted by Yabu at 01:02 PM
Once again, as in the past, the media will drive the 2012 Presidential election. Most people have no clue about the issues that will affect them, and they probably don’t care. They do care about reality TV, their sports teams, celebrity scandals, keeping up with the Jones, etc, but in my opinion, they are out [...]

The First Lamp Of 2012

Posted by Yabu at 08:08 PM
Like I’ve said before, I do loves me some peppers, and stained glass is a bitch to photograph. I’ve tried so many different camera and lighting settings it makes me dizzy, but I’m not giving up quite yet. I can’t seem to photograph what her stuff really looks like, live. Anyway, here’s another one from [...]

Perspective

Posted by Yabu at 12:00 AM
I don’t recall where I got this or I would give credit. The point is: This is a simplified comparison to a household budget. Scary, but something to think about. When we listen to the liberal talking heads, they spout billions and trillions like those numbers are only —- well numbers. So, lets break them down [...]

Stretch Is A Rock Star…

Posted by Yabu at 09:22 PM
…and he has groupies, yes he does. We went on patrol today to deliver some glass ornaments the Juju Woman made to several local businesses. I thought it would take about thirty minutes. Two and a half hours later we arrived home. He does have a way with the ladies. I’m telling you; he trots [...]

…”Laying Eggs”…

Posted by Yabu at 07:00 AM
Mostly Cajun has a great analogy of the current mess we’re in. You should go read it and the comments. Unfortunately, they’re probably right. Kinda says what I’ve been saying all along. We’re in deep trouble on all fronts. I am not a negative person, but I am a realist. If I were you, I’d [...]
