What's with the gun? And then fishing moments later. Don't a couple of gunshots in the water scare all of the fish off?

The one guy just popped off a couple rounds to scare the Hippo then got back to fishing.  The other guy seemed to be a bit upset about the matter. LOL

But I reckon if the Hippo didn't scare the fish the gunfire sure isn't going too.

hippos kill more people every year than any other animal. The rifle is to discourage an attack from a hippo.

And if there are hippos there are likely crocs, if the one doesn't get you....

Have fun!

"..#GOP media darling Kyle Rittenhouse who was acquitted after shooting 3 people, 1 fatally, during a #GeorgeFloyd protest in 2020, promptly scurried from a stage at University of #Memphis last night after he couldn't handle being booed for his responses to questions on #racism from a Black protestor at the event. Kudos to the Black student body at U of M!.."

Of course the question is, WTH was he invited in the first place?

Nice but not warm day here. Unfortunately it was one of those days for me.  One little aggravation after another.

Powered through and now am ready for a hot dog and a beer.

Someone needs to clue him in that US republicans have zero sense of shame.

Why is she still a judge?


"..As someone who quit a Third Circuit clerkship, I'll tell you that federal judicial clerks don't quit their jobs lightly, b/c the professional consequences are scary and real. That's less true now than it was when I quit back in the early 2000s. But multiple quitting clerks are a probable sign of either an abusive judge or a dysfunctional chambers, or both.

This is like a gut punch for me. My Dad was Ukrainian. He dealt with a form of racism 70ish years ago. My Mom's family were a keltic melting pot - English, Scottish, Irish, Norwegian Danish etc. they considered my Dad a foreigner.

A foreigner! Go Navalny! Go Navalny! We can never forget.
