I LIKE HAVING CHOI8CES IN FONT AND SIZES AND ITALICS AND UNDERLINES AND<strike> STRIKE THRUS. </strike>   WHAT ARE ANCHORS ? 29.041384 -96.517264 5 YEAR OLD SHOT BY COP http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2695 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2695 This link takes you to the story about a boy, fishing right beside his grandpa, who died from a shot to the head. Apparently, three cops, two rookies, were called out to get rid of a snake in a birdhouse on a back patio. A wooded area was between the house and the pond. One rookie decided to shoot the snake and fired at least two shots before hearing the boy's screams.<a href='http://www.koco.com/news/13819962/detail.html?rss=okl&psp=news' target='_blank'>Go HERE</a> One of the cardinal rules of gun safety is to be sure of where your bullets, shot or slugs will land. What are the chances of that snake being poisonous? Would you want a cop with no better judgement patrolling your neighborhood? EMAIL FROM LEON HALE; MTN BOOMERS http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2694 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2694 HEY: Rusty got a reply from our hero. He said,"No horny toads at Winedale. Fire ants got 'em all. Never was bitten by a mountain boomer but I ran from a few. LeonHale." How many of you ever got bitten or scared by a mountain boomer? What do you remember about them? What's their Legal name? Loon, you should've encountered some, right? A "BETTER THAN "WHAT?" CAKE http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2693 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2693 Rusty enjoyed Myra Starkey's column about getting home so her hubby wouldn't be so lost without her tellin' him what to do. How in the world did the hapless creature survive a week or so without her? Am glad she's gonna save the planet by drivin' her new Prius. I struck me funny that she shared her recipe for BETTER THAN "ANYTHING" CAKE. Did the name nazis change the name of the cake or did someone just give her that name when givin' her their recipe? BTW, what is the REAL name of that cake? "better'n fishin' cake"? "better'n eatin' pecan pie cake"? "better'n cold home brew cake"? or, "better'n a big ole cold watermelon cake"? HOT WEATHER HELP http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2692 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2692 HALLELUIAH!!! It sounds like Rusty's goin' back to work after nearly five years. The doc says, "Light to Moderate duty." They may even bridge his seniority after 20 years. Initially, he'll be inspecting and documenting heat number transfers on test coupons for certifying heavy gauge steel to be used in structural members. From SOHBFB to working seven days a week will be quite a jump. Besides staying hydrated, resting in the cool alot, what suggestions do you have for keeping the blood from boiling while out in the Texas sun? SHOULD THEY MANIPULATE HURRICANES? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2691 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2691 Watching the SUPERSTORM on the discovery channel last night brought to mind, "If we could change the path of a hurricane, how do we justify who it misses and who it hits?" As in the movie, "Are the people in Miami any more important than those in NYC?" "Should we play GOD in these situations?" Your ideas on this? WHERE DO THE LIDS GO? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2690 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2690 As far as I know Mrs. Rusty empties the leftovers out of the plastic storage containers, puts the plastics in the dishwasher. When they're dry she puts'em in the cabinet. The next time we go to store something the containers are there but NO LIDS to match'em can be found. Where did they go? Ever hear of plastic lid eating termites? Any other ideas? Is our house the only place this happens? HERE'S ONE FOR PILOT http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2689 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2689 turn the volume down to view this, language. MIKE: How old were you when y'all did this'n?<a href='http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=13001150' target='_blank'>HERE</a> Hey y'all, do you have any stories like this one? SHOULD CHATTY TODDLER AND MOM BE BOOTED OFF PLANE? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2688 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2688 The kid kept sayin', "Bye, bye plane" as their flight was taxiing, to the annoyance of some flight attendant who had the pilot turn around and land so she could boot'em off the flight. If we got the whole story, should they have been booted off the flight? IT'S really surprising the venom that discussion forum and commenters on issues can spew out at other commenters. Also how many hollered, "Sue the airline and fire the flight attendent." <a href='http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19735896/' target='_blank'>CLICK HERE.</a> RECEIPTS FROM THIS MOVIE TO HELP WILDLIFE http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2687 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rusty/2687 This movie may not be as funny as THE SIMPSONS MOVIE but it'll be lots more important for wildlife and future generations.
