"Away down South in Dixie"
I am proud my state still honors the heroes of the Cause. Let the commies and race baiters whine. It is sad that purveyors of hate use the battle flag of a nation's army, destroy our historical monuments, and twist history to further their cause while good and honest people honor their Confederate dead and past deeds of valor. I do not know how much longer my state will hold out against "woke"/ politically correct culture, but for the time being the men who fought to maintain the core values of the founders and Constitution are remembered.

Finally
I am still alive and kicking. I know I have hardly been posting lately, but have been busy, plus it is that time of year again when I chase those silly birds in the woods. Hunting has been good this year. Maybe, Irish won't cut my pay. LOL! I killed a bird last week after hunting him two prior mornings. I called him up and dispatched him using some of the heavier #9 TSS 12 gauge shotshell. This season is the first time I have taken the plunge and bought some of these expensive shells. $15 apiece is expensive ammo in my book. A box of five was $60 after taxes. Old Tom was at 28 steps when I put the bead on his head and fired. He never even flopped. The gun kicked like a mule and I've got sore shoulder and a bruise on my cheek. The shell I used was only 2-3/4" too (I have a 3.5" Mossberg 835, but bought the shorter shells to shoot in a Model 12 that is chambered only in that size even though I used a Mossberg 500). Gobbling has been pretty good and I haven't seen a lot of hunters. Hens are plentiful which makes it tougher and they have been vocal too. I didn't get to hunt any last year as I was sick, but am thankful to be hunting them this year. That is the first turkey I've carried out of the woods in a few years, though I have called up several and didn't shoot them for whatever reason. Getting up and out to my spots before daylight day after day in taxing on my mind and body, not to mention climbing these hills and hollers, but the rewards are high!

"Maestro" - The Story of How a Russian T-90A Got Stranded in a Louisiana Rest-Stop
Today we have the brief but ‘stranger than fiction’ account of how a Russian T-90A tank named ‘Maestro’ ended up briefly ‘abandoned’ at a gas station in Louisiana several weeks ago, after the truck towing it to a U.S. army testing site “broke down”. The tank was left sitting overnight with no security in the parking lot of Peto’s Travel Center and Casino, on I-10 near Roanoke, Lousiana.
