Mid-60s retired USAF LtColonel ’69-’92 (Satellite engineering, test, launch, & operations. Strategic planning.)
My avatar, and almost namesake, is Colonel Douglas Mortimer, best shot in the Carolinas.
Living in south-central North Carolina.
Shootin’, golfin’, motortcyclin’, workin’ on my ’74 TR6, a little gunsmithing, firearms instructing, and entertaining myself posting at SondraKistan.
Erstwhile single-handed live-aboard sailor/instructor/USCGMaster-50Tons, mounted foxhunter, world traveler, backpacker, book collector, photographer, USCCA corner worker, scuba diver, skier, bicycle tourist, and rescuer of maidens fair. Wise ass.

Just added a brand spankin’ new Rope n’ Chains archive wiki. (Somebody stop me, before I wiki again!)
(sorry, short local ad precedes video) ~ story w/vid ~ I can’t bear to think of all the perfectly good firearms needlessly destroyed by local governments across the nation, especially since there’s a waiting list for some new guns. … and I can always make room for more in my arsenal. (What? Well, yeah, there’s [...]
Wheel of Misfortune (caution: I will kaibosh, so don’t be that guy) Hint: no, not “communist,” because S was already used (What? Oh, just postin’ an old idea that’s been a’moulderin’ in the job jar.)
Oh, now who didn’t see this comin’? Well, I mean, besides the teacher. ~ vid ~ Have a fun, safe weekend everybody. And kids … stay out’a school.
Your assignment is to go read Jeffrey Brown’s “A Liberal/Progressive Epiphany” over at American Thinker. Go ahead, we’ll wait. … *tick*tick*tick*tick*tick*tick* … Pretty good, huh? Look, I harbor no illusions that the scales will fall from the eyes of very many true-believer Progs. Their entire self-worth, their social life, and their incomes depend upon the [...]

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Evan Mathis on Wednesday decided to express his disgust for the fed agency by posting the following photo to his Instagram account: … [T]he picture is captioned, “audit this.”
Here’s an interesting statement: President Obama, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in New York on Monday, mused about his final years in office, saying he wants to “do more” to make sure the American spirit of people helping each other in tough times “is reflected in our politics and our government.” “And more than anything, [...]
mano a mano* Eagle on the right: “Crap! This’ll prob’ly go viral. Just shoot me, now.” * Okay, garra a garra. (KisP ref) Just noticed that Rodge is havin’ a caption contest.

Papiere, bitte. ~ vid ~ Sooo, lemme get this straight … defending the border against invaders is bad, but monitoring the internal movements of citizens is okay. [scratches head] M’kayyy … this raises a question: What do they do with illegals they catch in these checkpoints?

Leading Democrat attention whore jumps up and down in front of cameras. (What? Of course that’s redundant! It’s what we do, here. Pay attention.) * One of P.J.O’Rourke’s best.
The problem in America today is that there is never a level playing field offered for the discussion of ideas. Therefore, most important topics are only mentioned in a predetermined format. In other words, one can mention, for example—gay marriage, but only with the proviso that the topic for debate and conclusion—is closed. But the [...]
… and then some. (sorry, couldn’t resist) Grave-robbers complaining that the grave site is soggy with urine in 3..2..1.. My first thought was Jesus said love your enemies … and, thereby, blames Jesus for her insult to every other Muslim buried in that cemetery. Islamic grave punishments. Version 2.
