It's been a busy week for punch, cake, and change. Wednesday was Bonita Erikson's 60th birthday. Not only did I get punch, but free pens.
From there I went to City Hall to wish Jo Don goodbye. I had told him earlier that if he didn't hear a group of people humming "Thank God and Greyhound He's Gone," he would be welcomed back for visits. I hope he does well in Guymon, and enjoys the cold, snow and wind.
Friday was Kathy Churchill's retirement social at BancCentral. I don't know if I got to go or not, because other plans were in the works. Birthday milestones, job changes, and retirement: good luck to you all in your endeavors.
I hope I made it to the Act I play this weekend. It was supposed to be really funny. Thanks to all that gave Alva a little culture and entertainment. Saturday was the Woods County Republican Convention. I may have crashed the party to listen to the speakers and look for free food.
I mentioned getting a couple of pens while at Erikson's. One out of two worked. Pens are a pet peeve of mine. We can find a car at the salvage that has been there for 10 years, find a couple of pens from defunct businesses, and chances are both will work and outlast several "modern" free pens. Where did the pride of a good product go?
New Mexico has passed a bill that will allow courts to order the temporary surrender of firearms. The law will supposedly deter deadly violence by temporarily removing firearms from people who pose a threat to themselves or others. Some sheriffs from mostly rural areas opposed the bill in committee hearings as a violation of constitutional guarantees to due process, free speech and the right to bear arms.
Who will decide when the person may have their guns back? On the theory that unarming someone before a crime is committed, everyone should walk because they may have an accident with their car. This just looks to me like a way to unarm the population legally.
On a personal note, if I am hell bent on murder, if you take my guns, whoever I am after will still be dead before dark. I can buy a gun from a shady guy, steal one from my neighbor, or just use any one of many other ways to do the deed. Silly, New Mexico!
Last week we voted on our Democratic choice for president. 200 million+ people in the United States and these bozos are the best we can do? God save us all. Bubba gave me a voting tip the other day. He said that it was important to look closely at lawn signs during election campaigns. Last time he voted for a real estate agent!
A cattle rancher wrote in to Dear Abby and wanted to know what to do about his son. My child doesn't want to eat meat. With what can I replace it? Answer: A dog. Dogs love meat.
