    Caitlin Clark finally

    Reese is never a sure shot even when arm’s length from being at the basket zone. I think is obvious she intentionally hard bricks if under the basket to pad rebound totals. Rebounds do not make you elite or else Dennis Rodman would have eclipsed the popularity of Jordan and Pippin when were all...

    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    All the vasectomy did was change the color of my next kid.

    Moving Trends for 2025

    I grew up in the Bible Belt in rural MO. At 19, moved in-state to take advantage of low tuition to go to University at 19. Was a lot of apprehension at leaving my small town. That passed though as was amazing suddenly being in a city 15x larger as had entertainment choices plus a lot of people...

    What to do with some savings

    Re costs for a second home. I have had two residences for 15 of the past 17 years and for about a year had three residences as bought another before sold a prior. A house worth around a million with no mortgage costs me around $35,000 a year of post-tax cash outflow. That "all-in" includes...

    What to do with some savings

    I have less confidence in suggesting the OP invest in stocks with the downpayment funds if OP really, really needs to not see those funds fall in value prior to the downpayment being due. If the OP was my sibling and was indicating they had no need for the invested funds for over a decade then...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    But, but, China pays the tariff, right? Right? Do not tell me my cult leader and his minions were less than truthful. TDS, mojo. When is the next cult meeting? I need to get my talking points for why abusing cops on J6 was patriotic and why hanging out with pedo pimps is a nothing burger. I need...

    NM Barbary Sheep

    I shot an old ram in late winter and could smell the meat cooking outside the house. My wife created a new rule. Cook the aoudad while she is away traveling. She had no issue with some strong smelling pronghorn, some mule deer which had eaten quite a bit of sage nor alligator feeding on rotted...

    Interesting verdict related to 2A

    When I was a wee land before we walked on the moon, I recall seeing the local police driving slowly with their lights flashing as a drunk driver slowly DROVE home from the bar. The bar owner would call the police and the drunk driver would either drive himself of an officer would drive. The...

    Getting a will done

    I suggest this book to read now if you expect will be leaving a legacy amount that is life-altering to one or more beneficiaries: Beyond the Grave You should aspire to do no harm with your generosity. Unattended outcomes are very possible as more zeros get added to your net worth. I am party...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    And, tepid job growth since sworn into office. And, wholesales prices are doing what they do starting about 8 months after tariffs are put on Americans (hopefully are not still thinking China pays all these import tariffs because that is not how a tariff works) which is about when all the old...

    Elk….Bow or Muzzleloader

    When I clean and wipe down the guns in my safe, I always do a snap shouldering as first lift a long gun out of the safe. That lift and tuck into the crease of my shoulder as my face nests onto the stock and my eye scans down the barrel is time travel. The weight, balance, fit, trigger location...

    2025 MT rams

    How old and big was the Mrs. Boddington “ram”? It was ruled legal, yes? MT, yes?

    Iwo Jima Day

    My childhood’s friend was a USMC machine gunner at Iwo. He would reenact with his hands in front while in his belly. He would have us run at him doing bonsai charges then we would fall down around him! “Chili Dog” was proud to have carried out his assigned duties during combat. My high school...

    Flagstaff

    I enjoy visiting there for a few days each year. A crapton of freight trains (120 per day) so I stay to a few miles north of downtown which adds another half hour to drive up from Phoenix. Forest fire risk is off the charts to the north, though, so insurance is also not a sure thing down the...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Any over/under yet on number of upcoming casualties from our Iran actions though end of 2026? Is okay to ignore estimating the suicides which do not happen until after 2026. This time will be different than the prior few forays into the Middle East. Just relax. 2000 years of war and America...

    WY Game and Fish seeks information on twelve pronghorn illegally killed near Kemmerer

    If meat was taken off the carcasses along a remote roadway then could have involved workers connected with energy industry. Is not exactly a secret that as more roads were added to get to service the gear and empty the oil tanks that more animals were being illegally shot including at night. If...

    If you drink US wine ... might want to watch this.

    Beer at age 13 (snuck from fridge of a buddiy's old man) was definitely an acquired taste for me as was black coffee at age 4 (my family owned a breakfast joint). Canadian Mist at 14 (New Years was crazy that winter). Cigarettes at 15 (older brother smoked). Chaw at 17 (baseball and farmer...

    If you drink US wine ... might want to watch this.

    Although, men in France have life expectancy of 79.4 years of living under all those ag rules. USA males...75.8 years of freedom which may be worth seeing 3 fewer Christmases with the grandkids. Cheers!

    Who will win the 2026 Super Bowl?

    “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage/ See, some say that’s statutory/ But I say it’s mandatory.” Kid Rock, Cool Daddy Cool song, 2001. Well, well. Birds of a feather.
