So, two emails to my Senators and my Congressman...

   Means I hope they get the message about my concerns, will do again later. Mostly I would like the government to leave me alone, I have things to do... don't we all?  Seems that my linkage to the

Not the NRA in America

National Rifle Association makes me a terrorist to be feared by the faint-hearted few. Some nice looking elected lady in San Francisco convinced her fellow fearful folks that all their alarm over AR anythings and mass shootings is the fault of the NRA, an organization that promotes the common use of military grade weapons among those evil gun goofs. Well, the truth is that the NRA isn't what she fears, but since urban myths are the stuff of horror fiction, thank you Stephen  King, and she knows that all MainStreamMedia (that includes you FOXNEWS) is truthful since they say the same things as her friends all do. And 'everybody knows' about the AR rifles. 
    Speaking of which. I took mine to the range and did some more zeroing and getting introduced to my fine AR-15A4, still haven't fired a box of fifty rounds yet. Too frugal, and still learning about my rifle. The thought I should take it to the upcoming Appleseed crossed my mind, and I might have but the Range at Redmond is tight and we had sold out attendance and only four crew. The first priority is instruction in safety, shooting, steady hold factors, Natural Point of Aim, Rifleman's cadence, and what Americans were about in 1775 around Boston. For sure they aren't like that any more... something happened since.  We don't cover what happened.
     I was called by a robot that wanted me to press a button. I don't answer to robots. Something about an appointment at a Cardio Clinic of the Franciscan System. I didn't have evidence of  one in my papers, will have to call and find out who requested it, twasn't me.

Time to quit the struggle? Why, too much stupid everywhere?

The King demonstrates he can't do it all.

   The government is very clear, they don't appreciate the 2nd Amendment. And because the gun goofs focus on the second part of the sentence and not the first (worrying about government overreach) we no longer have a secure Free State. We are just the lesser creatures and no longer really in charge of the nation and its destiny. We don't secure it, defend it, nor are we treated as important for more than our uninformed votes. The two major political parties ensure change just doesn't happen, the Justice and law enforcement seem to only worry about generating money, and holding back anyone that rumbles about the government. There is little evidence that the elites will have to be subject to criminal codes if they get great lawyers and special consideration.

   As long as they control the news and the message, there will always be fools sure that the government will be able to control everything. The truth is they never are, they may have to kill a lot of their citizens but the government, in all cases where the voters aren't engaged in making the right things happen, fails over half the time. Two examples in America, illegal immigration and drug enforcement. Why would you think firearms would be any different?

   Make sure you contact your Congressperson, often. They do note trends of emails and townhall points. They will follow the Party line, but keep trying.

I seem to have writer's block, which is causing failure to engage in life activities....

First party date, son's wedding

   My mind whirls on, and on. Jumping from the NRA leadership failures, absolute power corrupts absolutely... etc...to Congress, the Staffing of Washington, DC. Roman History and Arthurian legends and truths in generals....

  Make eggs and stuff, drive off to a church meeting about AWANAs, get schedules and training material, start to lay out my year calendar -- always pretending that another medical adventure won't interrupt. Dennis Tabb and Daniel Oh and I met with Pastor Nathan. I next need to start engaging in RWVA Appleseed events again. But today, I am off to the range for my AR-15A4 familiarization, zero and back to repack my vehicle and help my wife with household maintenance. Local area has the LeMay Family Autoshow at Marymount. Nice place to visit today, but not for me. Today also starts the Washington State Fair. They will start advertising it as 'Do the Puyallup' later, as if the fair is not as important as the rides, food and shows.

  It is all important, don't have to turn on an electronic digital distraction device for entertainment. Dennis was missing his cellphone when he showed up to the meeting, had to borrow Pastor Nathan's to call his wife and find out if it was in his computer area. She didn't answer not recognizing the calling number (way to go, telemarketeers and robocalls!) She finally picked up and I heard half of a discussion about it could have been an emergency. My own failures to answer, being slow or not wanting to answer came immediately to mind so I was on Mrs. Tabb's side. Too many years of being on the end of a radio signal, or landline and knowing the other party isn't as concerned about your wants, needs nor effectiveness as you are. Write me a letter, give me the battle plan and the resources and get out of my way. Ha, ha, ha! Next time you see Mel Gibson in 'We were Soldiers' go get the book and read the last half, about the other battalions engagements with the same enemy.. cause it didn't stop when he got on that last helicopter.

Tuesday morning....

  Quiet waking, my spouse came in and went to bed finally. She has been hanging with her friends from foreign lands in foreign speak, but heart warming social needs met and warmed until she had to face the cold American reality. She will sleep for many hours.

I liked quiet stand to then

   I can't sleep after morning wakend, I get up and turn off the outdoor lighting, and walk through the humming home to find, and fill the coffee maker.  If you truly want quiet you have to cut the power. Don't do that, I am not disturbed by my wife's breathing at night, I never notice silence until I take my breakfast onto the back porch and enjoy almost nature sounds. God is good. Two well cooked thick slices of bacon, two eggs and milk whipped up to gather the grease, slice of cheese for dairy and lovers salad (lettuce alone).

  No Tucker Carlson last evening, I spent time putting my CMP all Weather Sling (synthetic brown) on the new rifle and then reading to Blues in the background. I will start positions and dry practice today as I start lying to myself (great intentions gone awry). By eight I need to be on the road to the YMCA, early start is better than later making excuses for not doing my full rehab program.. I did notice as we were picking up and moving picnic tables in the park on Saturday how comfortable I am with not pretending to be strong and dangerous MALE. 'fat old man' fits and I can wear it, it is all mine. None of the ladies dress for me and I can enjoy all they abundantly display - although the credit union doesn't seem the best place to put on the slut mode. I really don't use the word slut, except to convey the shock of seeing more than I would want my daughter, wife, mother to show the public in the public.

  Mind is rapidly moving on, from thought to thought - I need to move out. Take care out there and be better than even you expected. It will be well, it will.
