No. The idea is, that if you are face to face with a mugger, gun pointed at you, if you turn and run, you will probably get shot. So you throw the money. If  you can get 20 to 30 feet away from him, even if he shoots at you, your chance of getting hit goes way down.

Another good reason. You get mugged. Carry a cheap money clip with a few dollars in it. You get mugged, toss the clip one way, and run the other. By the time the perp picks up the cash, you are far enough away that you probably won’t get shot.

The article does not touch on one more problem with real trees. Bugs. We got badly infested with moths after the last real tree we had. Oh! One more thing...cats like to climb them!

Hey! Don’t dis on the diverging diamond. We have several of them here in Springfield Missouri. We actually have the first one in the country. For some intersections, they are the perfect solution. Highway 13 and I-44 intersection was always a big bottleneck. Traffic going south on 13, and turning east onto I-44 was…

Much softer, but have you had a dog around when a vet is gelding a stallion? Happy dog!

Don’t forget the horse apples, and hoof trimmings when the farrier is here. I’ve never seen a dog that would not pass up a bit of horse hoof (and that stuff stinks!).

“updates for the HTC 10, U Ultra, and U11 Life are in the works too.”

Liquid saddle soap gets mold off of a horse saddle. I suppose it would work for motorcycle leathers too.

Eh, no. Ain’t gonna happen.

For any guy that does not know, never, EVER carry your wallet in your back pocket. It isn’t called the sucker pocket for nothing. It is super easy to pick a wallet out of a back pocket. Not nearly as easy out of a front one. Not impossible, just not as easy. Also, to make it even harder, wrap a nice big rubber band…

Sorry, but I ain’t paying $44 - $169 for task lights.

No, the weight can have a very big effect. Look up Temple Grandin.

You shouldn’t make lite of this.

heat up a can of this, add some cooked frozen green peas, some chopped up bacon, and pour it over a home made buttermilk biscuit. Mmmmm!

I just realized that auto correct screwed up. It does not cause any skin problems, and does rinse off much better than liquid soap.

I don’t. I have a scalp problem, and have to use a zinc based shampoo. My wife does. She says it rinses out easier, and her hair combs out better than any shampoo and conditioner she has ever used. As she says, they use it on baby ducks. It must be safe.

We are both 65. Nope, it doesn’t rinses off much better than liquid soap.

We use Dawn for showering with. My wife even shampoos with it.

The only thing I remember is that our chemistry teacher always gave us open book tests. He said it was better to know where to find the answer, instead of memorizing them. Everything he was required to memorize in school was no longer relevant.

In my entire life, I have never seen a movie start at the start time. Always previews first, after advertised time.
