Hot and wet.<\/p>\n
Not only was it super humid and warm yesterday, it rained too.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I managed to unload my auction delivery just as the drops started falling.\u00a0\u00a0 Did my pickups and headed home.<\/p>\n
Spent most of the rest of the day indoors, except that I cleaned the pool, and cut the grass in the back yard.\u00a0 It was soggy, but I figured I better get it done before it rains again.\u00a0 I picked up the dog bombs and 3 bags of inedible pecans too.\u00a0 I got a tiny bit of organization done in the garage.<\/p>\n
Today I’m hoping to get another truckload of stuff to my other auctioneer.\u00a0 It’ll depend on his schedule and weather.\u00a0 More garage work and driveway org too, if the weather is good.<\/p>\n
I linked to a couple of videos yesterday.\u00a0 One shows the results of shooting a suspect TWICE with an AR.\u00a0 It’s not the instant magic wand of death in every case.\u00a0 If you aren’t training for follow up shots, you’re probably not doing it right.<\/p>\n
The situation in Portland continues to escalate with the rioters now attempting to blind cops with lasers, spray them with bleach (blinding), and they are building bombs to lob at them too.\u00a0 It’s WAY beyond throwing a pack of firecrackers…\u00a0 Anarchists throwing bombs.\u00a0 In 2020.\u00a0 Everything old is new again.<\/p>\n
And it’s spreading.\u00a0 Tempe AZ had riots.\u00a0 (home of Arizona State University, but otherwise a smallish town on the edge of Phoenix)\u00a0 BLM and a laundry list of groups were blocking streets and harassing cops.\u00a0 I don’t know what the demographics look like now, but when I was there I don’t think there were 10 blacks in the whole city.\u00a0 But they’ve got riots now.\u00a0 FFS.<\/p>\n
Avoid crowds.\u00a0 Go armed all the time.\u00a0 Get some less than lethal for your vehicles.\u00a0 Check the news to see what’s going on in town before you drive through something you didn’t know about.\u00a0 Review your state’s use of force laws regarding riots, and attempts to enter your vehicle.\u00a0 Don’t stop moving.<\/p>\n
The economic and social effects are going to make the shutdown look like a walk in the park.\u00a0 They’re already starting and won’t be getting better for some time.\u00a0 Stock up while you can.<\/p>\n
Got enough fire extinguishers?\u00a0 After that one year where I was first on the scene at a half dozen wrecks and fires, I’ve now got several in each truck.\u00a0 I’ve got one next to the kitchen, and one in my master bath.\u00a0 Big ones.\u00a0 More than one in the garage, by the door out.\u00a0 Change the batteries or test your smoke detectors if you haven’t lately.\u00a0 Change the detectors if they are a few years old.\u00a0 Add a couple outside the bedrooms, inside the bedrooms, in the hall.\u00a0 If you close a door at night, put one on each side of the door.\u00a0 They are small and the new ones last years on a single non-removable battery.<\/p>\n
Preps aren’t all freeze dried food and ammo…<\/p>\n
Although you should stack those too.<\/p>\n
