Let us just assume, for a moment, that the grab every gun... or out of civilian hands. Who really will help you when seconds count? Yeah, they did an experiment, one that would get someone drawn down on hereabouts. It was done one of the big gun free zones, often referred to as cimeanopolisis. For the most part, what I saw was really creepy. There were a few brave (enough) souls, but really?

My 75 mm exercise ball just arrived. It... takes a bit to fill. Looking over the instructions while filling it, to pass time, I noticed they suggested only filling it half way the first day, the rest of the way full the following day. I don't really need a break, but who needs a break to take one, so I am going to follow the instructions (if I am going to research whether that is actually necessary). It should hold up. It is supposed to be rated to handle a ton. Technically, by height charts, I need an 85 mm size but I didn't see any that were rated for much over 300-400, which is pushing it and would allow for no or almost no weights. As well, my legs aren't really long for my height, feeling comfortable with 34-36 inseams. It should do.
No, I did not get to the pool. I crashed at about 10:30-11:00, hard, uncontrollably. A bit of food and all the caffeine I could stand did nothing but slightly delay the decline into oblivion. That is just the way it goes. I woke by 13:30, but moving slow and with only an hour and a half to get a shower, get to town, change, and wait for a lane before swim team at 15:00... No, the gig was up. Gah! I hope I get over whatever is keeping me down at the moment. Patience and persistence, doing what I can, and I will get there. Look, I have stuck with it for just over two months, stumbles, falls, missed swims, and all. Is that a record yet or what? I may call and see if there is a time that is generally less busy tomorrow at the pool.
Later.
Geez...
ReplyDeleteYou totally would not try that in AZ. Credit to the tiny handful that intervened, but around here it wouldn't be a fire extinguisher (LOL!) but a .45 they pulled and one of the actors would likely be dead.
The cell cam guy? He needed to be roughed up good by the actors, just on principle.
Same here in Utah. And the men here are ready, waiting, warrior-citizens here too. I love this area and these people for that. You know me, personally.
ReplyDeleteI don't even dislike that some people are, as you suggest, oblivious, or seem to be. I think, in truth, most here know, but they are trying to... maintain 'the balance'. They know but hope the problems can be stalled? At least, for the most part, they are ready... when the time comes. I just hope most realizes the time won't be the first incident. We will have to take the first hit, hard, then create a system through which to fight back. I hate it as much as they.
