Debated about sticking this over in Politics since I suspect that's where comments are headed...

I don't bother with the spray, that's icky stuff with seriously harsh chemicals. Basically bug spray is nerve agent.

Wasps don't fly at night. I just wait till way after dark, go out, disconnect them from whatever they're on.

Splash of gas, match, a whoosh, and problem solved.

There is some good news every once in awhile. Congrats.

There's a story behind how that return check got generated, shame no one here will never know it.

It's a problem that it's on some one else's property but first thing I'd do is take a machete and *lightly* go around that trunk, close as the ground as I could get. I emphasize lightly since you'll only want to cut the stems, not get too deep into the bark. Anywhere you do cut a stem, use the tip o...

I already have everything you mentioned, except an accurate physical description. That's partially good news. Just another suggestion (worth what you paid for it!), call that county's prosecuting attorney and see if they have any suggestions. These are the people the Sheriff's deputies/city cops wr...

Saw that same obit, and couple other things, including a Brock that got arrested for meth/various drug offenses several years ago. I'm very leery of posting anyone's picture/personal info on a public forum until more info is developed. That's why I really want a good physical description from the gu...

wecsoger

I would. You mentioned USPS, that means a money order and mailing address? Or PO box? If the latter, I'd call the local post office, explain the situation, let them know the higher muckety-mucks of USPS have a case on file. *If* he's actually in that county, local PD or Sheriff on the detective side...

Contact the Leslie county KY sheriff's office 606-672-2200 or the Hyden city police department (606) 672-2300 and see if they know this guy. Leslie county is not very big and I suspect he's known to the local constabulary, if he lives in that county Also did a quick search, there are a bunch of Broc...

Musings on S&W's re-introduction of the model 19 brought on this particular rant. One of the good things about the video revolution is it brings much needed transparency to policing (full disclosure, I'm very pro-video) What dismays me about the shooting-of-the-week videos is the excessive numbe...

All matching numbers? Bunches of stamps for authenticity? No documentation for provenance and it's coming from an absolutely vague source?

Good advice, this guy is dead on and I hope people will take heed. Only thing I can add is most people under-pack or under-protect their item. If you can hold your package out at arm's length, drop it from a height of 5' and the item inside won't be damaged...it _might_ be packed well enough. This i...

decades of politicians caving in to greedy public sector unions [/b] I see your point, but I'm still comfortable with mis-management. Yes, unions were greedy, but they weren't holding a gun to anyone's head. Pols caving, and can-kicking got them there. Politicians were allegedly in charge, so there...

Good for them, but realistically, seceding from the state is the only real solution. No one, well, very few people are talking about how bad things are for Illinois in general and Chicago in particular.

Sometimes my mind wanders about unsupervised (especially when driving on these long trips) and lately I've been thinking about the oddness in the firearms industry point 1. If it's "Glock Perfection", how come they're up to gen 5 (!) now. Seriously? Me, I'm finally up to gen 3 now with a p...

The M1 carbine accuracy sounds like that which is complained about by owners of the Ruger Mini 14. That's interesting to note. I never have heard that comparison made before, but it sure is logical to do so. Not the first to make a logical comparison: --------------M1 Mini14 length --- 35.6" -...

Don't have a Henry (yet!) but all my three interactions with Ruger customer service has been like this:

Not needed to say, they've always treated me more than fair.

which is very important from an armorers view Word.

For all the time and money (five years plus, 17 million plus) devoted to this project, there is no reason that the pistol selection group should not have been able to pick something that would have worked perfectly right out of the box.

Garage sales are always hit-or-miss. My rule of thumb, in a newer house or newer subdivision you'll rarely find much other than clothes, badly put together furniture, and always a mystery tub of outdated computer parts. Older homes, always possibilities. Ditto for farmhouses out in the county and th...

AD-blockplus rocks! I'm a huge fan. Just checked, it appears to be available for all major browsers.

I'm also running (in Firefox) Ghostery (tracking blocker), HTTPS Everywhere (forces where available higher security on sites), and YesScript2 (turn off/off java annoyances)

Trying not to thread-hijack, but the new Firefox 57 (quantum) is reasonably well behaved. I run mine with several extensions to block ads, trackers, etc., and rarely do I see anything bothersome.
