To be honest I like both of them equally. but when the yay votes are 20+ and the nays are 2 it's making me lean towards the white. And now that there's over 30 of us here in Houston that are gathering a couple times a month there's some guys with some really tricked out slingshot and it's making mine look a little plane.
Nobody wants a little plane Slingshot.
Hope all is well with all the family.
WE looking for 'show' or for 'go' ?????????????????
Show White

Last weekend my son and his better half bought some 'cookies' and dropped them off to several of our local departments. They were received with much 'thanks'
My son's comment 'our thanks to you for your service'. We need more saying thanks to the men and women who serve and protect.

Australian Gun Law Update
Here's a thought to warm some of your hearts....
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real
figures from Down Under.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to
surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own
government, a program costing Australia taxpayers
more than $500 million dollars.
The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria
lone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that
while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not
and criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady
decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically
upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed
that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and
assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public
safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was
expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns....' You
won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or
members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.
The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the
hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control
laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note Americans, before it's too late!
Will you be one of the sheeple to turn yours in?
WHY? You will need it.
There was a Mensa convention inSan Francisco.Mensa,as you probably know,
is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.Several of the Mensa members went out forlunch at a local café.
When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shakerwas full of salt.
How could they swap the contentsof the two bottles without spillingany, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly, this was a job forMensa minds.
The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally,came up with a brilliant solution involvinga napkin, astraw,and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her withtheir solution.
"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the peppershaker contains salt and the salt shaker has pepper."
But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted: " Ohsorry about that."
She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles andswitched them.
There was dead silence at the Mensa table.
Kind of reminds you of Washington D.C., doesn't it?
Thanks to all who showed up on Sunday. Good group and nice ride.
@Tripod I just try to give her a little smile from time to time.

Brain tumor survivors Adler, Hannah, Jennifer, Karma, Lindy, Miquel and Samantha were honored as Ride for Kids Stars. Several of them accompanied the 150 participants on the ride from Pinhook Park.
After the ride, the crowd heard from the mother of Ride for Kids Star Adler. “While we’ve had a tough road, Adler continues to amaze us and we are so grateful to all of your support and the great work being done by the PBTF,” Elizabeth Carris.
Vincy from WFRN-FM emceed the program, which also honored the late Bobby Newman, a longtime Northern Indiana Ride for Kids volunteer task force leader.
Event proceeds fund childhood brain tumor research and family support programs such as college scholarships.

Italy Trip
A military veteran friend
sent me a funny story that's been in circulation for awhile A young
New York woman wasso depressed she decided to end her life by
throwing herself into the ocean.
Just before she could throw herself from the docks, ahandsome young
man stopped her.
"You have so much to live for," he said.
"I'm a sailor and we are off to Italy tomorrow. I can stow you away on my ship. 'll take care of you,
bring you food everyday, and keep you happy. When we get to Italyyou will be SO GLAD you're alive"
(A very quick mind and a smooth talker) !!
With nothing to lose and always wanting to see Italy, sheaccepted.
That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her ina small but
comfortable compartment in the ship's hold. From then on, every
night, he would bring her sandwiches, a bottle of redwine, and make
love to her until dawn.
Two weeks later she was discovered by the captain duringa
routine inspection.
"What are you doing here?" asked the captain.
"I have an arrangement with a sailor," she replied. "He brings mefood and I get a free tripto Italy."
"I see, Thecaptain says.
Then her conscience got the best of her, and she added,
"Plus, he's screwing me."
"He certainly is," replied the captain."This
is the Staten Island Ferry."
Didn't see that coming, did you?
