What happens when you simply let thieves have what they want, and don't fight back??
Canadian Police Tell Residents To Leave Car Keys On Front Porch For Thieves
Jesus H Christ, this is so effing stupid.
The whole world has gone mad, I tell you.
What's next, buy another multi thousand dollar car, with a loan probably, and put those keys out also? Why don't you leave a full can of gas there with it, with a note that says, thank you for not coming in and raping my wife? Oh by the way, the spare house key is under the red flower pot.
How many car loans will you get, before the bank cuts you off, like a bartender does at 2 AM????
Around 1994 or 1995, I was woken(awakened?) by the sound of glass breaking. Looking out my bedroom window I see lowlifes in my car, and an unknown car alongside my car. I grabbed my 22 rifle which was loaded(with ammo not jim beam) under my bed, hauled ass outside in my underwear, yelling at the top of my lungs I'm gonna kill you sonsabitches!!
The (perps?) lowlifes jumped headfirst into the open windows of the waiting car and hauled ass. The local sheriff had them in custody within 30 minutes. Which I was grateful for as that was my work car.
The point of me telling you this is to tell what was said to me. The principal of my daughters high school found out about this and said, Vern, it's just property. Let them take it! You could have been killed!
What he didn't think about, but I did, is that car was a direct link to my ability to earn a living for my family. Without that car I was unable to go see my customers. Sure, I could have rented one. But the stealing of that car greatly limited my ability to put food onto my familys table. If that isn't reason enough for you to put yourself into danger, that's your problem.
And not chasing those hooligans would let them think, hey, I can do this to anybody I want.
Think about it. If our forefathers had this state of mind to just let the ruffians run roughshod over you, and give everything to the thieves, we would be calling ourselves british today. And using the verdammt metric system. I hate the metric system.
This attitude of don't fight back is part of why we have so many illegals in our country.
Well hell, I thought everyone knew that already.
Yes, Your Car Is Spying on You and the Data Is Being Sold
I thought this was common knowledge. Big something is spying on us 24/7/365.
I think anything with a computer has the capability of spying on you.
About all we can do at this point is use as much analog tech as we can, and avoid as many cameras as we can. Try to spread your energy use out evenly so they can't get a glimpse into your life.
Another option is to use all tech, let them spy and trace you, and just dare them to come do something. That way you can use that karate and taekwondo stuff on them.
Me, I prefer tire iron at 30 paces and opening. (Sarcasm)

Did you guys hear about this?
Looks like I should have researched more. This is Notre Dame College in Ohio which is apparently not the Notre Dame University in Indiana. Wikipedia Notre Dame College
Notre Dame College is Closing Down after Spring Semester
Wow. Just wow.
I really don't know what to say. All my life Notre Dame has been a large fixture of the higher education industry.

Trump being charged and Biden getting a free pass is complete and total BULLSHIT!
Our two tier justice system is on full display now, isn't it??
You would think that ole joe willfully taking classified documents while a private citizen would warrant an impeachment trial at the very least.
But not in this case. The rinos won't impeach him. And that may be a good thing. Who wants kneepads harris as his replacement? I don't.
We only have about ten months left of this buffoon. At least for this go around, as he very well may get re-elected.
But people in this country are fed up. And this election cycle, in my opinion, is going to cause violence in this country. In my opinion.
So to that I say, fuck em. Maybe it is a good year to die, fighting to regain the rights and freedoms we have let be taken from us. Cause voting, even if the REAL President gets elected this time, will not get us out of this mess.
I don't think it matters this time who wins, one side or the other is going to be pissed off enough to start the ball rolling.
Be prepared. Stay frosty. Look to your family.

Lazy day today.
I drove over to my local post office to mail my taxes earlier.
After doing that I drove over to Tractor Supply to browse and use the restroom.
They had garden seeds in the normal size packages, price range was $1.99 to $8.99. After seeing the price I left. Didn't even look at the seeds.
So from there I went to lowes, simply to browse. Don't need anything at the moment.
Walking around I spotted lawnmowers, so I stopped to take a look. Did you know, they did not have a single walkbehind mower powered by a gas engine?
I finally found a clerk, and that was sheer luck. I asked him if they had any real lawnmowers or just electric. He said if I wanted a gas mower they could order it. Jeez Louise.
They had about 15 or so different models of Electric lawn mowers though. And they were all cordless. Not a corded mower there. Who the hell is gonna use a battery powered lawnmower?
Around here in the spring the weeds and grass typically get 6" to a foot tall before anybody mows. My grass is about 6" right now.
I bet it would take about 20 batteries to mow what my old mower does with a 1/4 gallon of gas.

Sunday Night
I am still perusing craigs list and facebook marketplace to see if there is a vehicle I absolutely cannot live without.
I haven't found one yet, but I did find a 96 ford f450 with a flatbed for $2300. Needs an Injector Driver Module. Kind of interesting.
But the post says, "Can not be registered in California."
Now wtf is that all about.
Why would you post for sale, in california, a vehicle which you know cannot be registered in California?
Boggles the mind.
I would like to say "And, in other news, we have this..." But I don't have any other news. Unless you wanna hear about my fries and pinto beans and Miller Hi Life I had for supper. Nah.
So, good Sunday night. See you tomorrow. I hope.
A Permanent Daylight Savings Is Being Pushed By U.S Senators Again
Ferchrissake end DST Already!!!
Daylight saving time is stupid. If you want more daylight to do your stuff in then get up earlier or go to bed later.
Changing the time does not change the amount of daylight we get. That is a fixed number every day, changing with the seasons.
Adjust your damn schedule and leave me alone.

Does anyone out there use a level gauge of some sort on your tanks? If so, how do you like it?
