Memories

For some reason, I do a good bit of whistlin' and I'm not even musically minded. Sometimes I even wonder what it is that I'm whistlin' and if it's just something I've made up in my mind. One of the recurring ones is actually the second song on the embed and I wasn't particularly a Bob Wills fan. You might even say he pre-dates any interest I had in music.



The San Antonio Rose I'm familiar with may have actually been done by Gene Autry in one of his movies by the same name. Regardless, it's stuck with me and maybe you'll enjoy the recording.

Dec. 7, 1941, a day of infamy!

67 years ago, the United States was drawn into the war in the Pacific by the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japanese naval forces. There are similarities to the attack on 9/11/2001 by terrorist, who destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people. Hopefully, our determination to defeat the terrorist mind set and organization will be as strong as our determination to defeat Japan.

What the Second Amendment is REALLY for

In October of 2003, Texas Representative, Dr. Susanna Gratia-Hupp, gave this testimony before the US Senate. I don't think I need to say much more, because the video pretty well says it all.

Video: Cutting through the "Assault Weapons" Hype

"Officer Leroy Pyle debunks myths about semi-autos. He uses demonstrations with live firearms and congressional testimony...to show what the truth really is." It's a good informational video that would help many to understand some of the differences and the "trigger" words that tend to incite hysteria.
