haha! in a high percentage of the cases there is usually a woman involved in some way I think, at least 50% of the time maybe? With some guys it's higher if they are womanizers like Wild Bill was! lol.
But you don't care for who, Wild Bill? why not?

Not a big fan of Unionist radicals...lol...
but you from the North man! lol. yes they said he was a total 100% radical about it because of his father being so against slavery and all that. But if you had to be a radical I guess that was the better of two evils?
I don't know. I'm a big supporter of national self determination. I am also against slavery, but I would not have been in favor of empowering a centralized federal government by making us ALL slaves to it, and destroying states rights for something that would have died of natural causes pretty soon, anyway, (and with a lot less racial retribution/hatred resulting.)
sir mepatriot! oh wow this is interesting, I don't ever remember anyone talking about that. So you're saying if we just would have muddled along without getting up in arms about it then slavery would have just become not necessary? and the South wouldn't have been ruined?
You should do a post on this!
No. Just between you and me on that....
sir mepatriot! good morning. well I haven't studied or seen anything on that subject for a long time but I thought it got to the point of physical violence in congress and people gave up trying to work out their disagreements?
hey what is the temperature like up there? are you guys getting frost bitten yet? lol. Or any snow yet? Now THAT'S really not funny.
Well we're still in the 90's most days here and it was almost 100 a couple of days ago so fall temperatures are not coming as fast as I'd like for them to!
As soon as we get October it usually starts getting down into the high 60's at night and well be a welcome relief because I'm getting a little bit tired of sweating my tail off everday! lol.
Actually for the next few months we will save money on the electric bill because we won't have to run the air conditioners anymore and we won't have to run the heat for quite a while also unless something very unusual happens. When do you guys start running your furnace? or the woodburner I guess it is..probably already have haven't you?
Well we have a fireplace too but I don't want to take a chance on using it because it sat for all those years and we need to have it checked out as we heard a big chunk of something fall down inside the chimney, don't know if it was just coating of something, that black stuff, or if it was part of the bricks or something so we gotta find a chimney sweep or someone to check it out. That's going to be a job because there's a big grate and screen on top of the chimney and that will have to be removed in order to be able to get to the flu.
And we're to the point now in temperatures at night that we can actually have the windows open and pull the night air in, all summer it was too hot, the air was warm and humid so we didn't try to cool off that way but now if feels cool at night and the air is fresh.
The only bad part of having the windows open is that we can also hear the coyotes out there howling like a bunch of crazed maniacs! And they're close to. Jack gets on edge when they start up. Can't get him calmed down or anything either at that point no matter what you say to him, he's pacing around and looking out the windows and listening and watching. He's a good watch dog, he don't miss much but sometimes if he's sleeping hard he can sleep through them but not often, he usually jerks awake and runs to the window. lol.
Yes, one southern U.S. Senator "caned" a northern Senator to within an inch of his life, on the floor of the Senate!
We've had just two nights of frost so far. Our lowest temp so far was 28 degrees. It went back up into the 80s after that during the days, and then now it's been around 50-60 for our daily highs and about 45-50 at night. We haven't burned any oil or wood yet. We basically just stay in the living room in the evenings with a small electric heater on until climbing under our blankets for the night. We will probably start burning a little oil a couple hours a day in the middle of October through until it gets to be really cold at night--probably around the second week of December. Once we set the fire going, we don't usually let it go out at all until spring--unless we are going away for a couple days--which is kind of rare for the Jan-March period.
Jack sounds like a very good "guy" to have around. We hear the coyotes hear, on average, about twice per week, but they don't get too close to the house. I think they know there's a loud stick there that shoots fire and worse.
