My son and I often go out for a few beers on Sundays to watch the NHRA drag races.

Darn close to my neck of the woods.
Our hikes are usually up on Holston in order to get out of the way. Often times on bikes too.

Sorry for your loss. It is VERY hard to do.
We've only had to put one pet down in our long time married. Our cat Louise of 17 years. I got to be the one to do it while my wife was at work. My best...

Stay with the handgun and be more situationally aware.

Many years ago, I was working a job in an environment that I really didn't like. I was in IT at the time and interviewed at a company, call it XYZ Corp for clarity, that had an exquisite server room....

A lot of stresses in life ATM.
Yesterday morning, I awoke at 4:00AM and couldn't get back to sleep. So me, a pillow and a blanket went out into the sunroom where I laid down. It took a short while...
