I’m surprised no one noticed. I didn’t even see it.

Just goes to show that Reid’s so much like a republican these day that no one, not even the author, Ali Frick noticed that typo.

If it was a typo.

If you want to know where you stand, I recommend the site http://www.politicalcompass.org

Krystal, being a Libertarian isn’t such a bad thing (unless your the Jimmy bb type). I’ve known Libertarians that are not too far from my beliefs – which of course are the most correct beliefs to have …lol. One Libertarian that I am particularly fond of is my brother. He’s one of my favorite people.

Um, just for the record, isn’t Glenn Beck a “libertarian”? Or is that a misplacement of his definition of the word? Or have the libertarians rejected Beck as one of their own?

The shepard, eventually, ended up with the best shady spot under the apple tree but, he never managed to kick the dachshund off the couch. He just wasn’t mean enough. Except for cats.

We lived in a rural area with feral cats and Teddy became an accomplished cat hunter. “Fritz”, our dachshund, may have had some seniority but he couldn’t handle cats.

Most burglars seem to want to bypass my home for some reason.

Except maybe for the hamburglars.

(oh, forgot to mention that my 160 lb. very best friend is my dog)

That’s what I call effective home defense. When I was growing up we had a 120 pound Belgian Shepard. He was gentle as a spring rain, I tormented him and never sparked any aggression, but there was no way for an intruder to know that.

Heck! He was even submissive to my sister’s miniature dachshund for a couple years. I haven’t seen a lot of things more amusing than a big dog cowering from a little “wiener”. Come to think of it, I think the dachshund’s bark might have been more intimidating the Shepard’s bite.

They grow sweet corn and realized that they needed to get it to market in a hurry to make a profit. Though, to be sure, the truck was not for casual use.

Mennonites look a lot like the Amish, but they can have cars and or modern appliances.

It may have been an Amish man but it probably was a Mennonite.

That’s a cool story either way.

I do much of my trout fishing in an area with a large Amish community. One day I was driving down a “cart road” to my favorite fishing spot.

I saw a big Dodge pickup with four laden wagons behind it approaching. Much to my surprise I saw that the driver was Amish, in full regalia, sporting a big grin. It seems that the local community decided to make the practical decision and invest in a truck for hauling their crops to market. Practical, or not, that Amish gentleman was having FUN driving a truck! My respect for the Amish way of life went way up in about 30 seconds.

Great story Wayne. You had me laughing the whole way through!

It’s true too. The kid was pretty nice. He took me over and showed me his carriage. The other men were glaring at him and the girls just kept giggling. Remember this was the 70’s, so the clothes we were wearing were a stark, colorful contrast to their black and white wooden button clothes. We must have looked like aliens to them. I think I had a psychedelic silk shirt on, and one of those snap in the front caps on. And of course my “stacks” (big thick high heeled boots for men).

I asked him why they were dressed that way, and he said “we are Amish”.

I remember responding, “what continent is ‘Amland” in?”.

…and get this, I bought that collectors item from Richard Milhouse Nixon’s neighbor! (for $500 dollars! …the assclown had NO IDEA what he had in his garage for _8_ years! I believe this when I saw the cracked rubber on the tires. -All the thing needed was a water-pump! )

You didn’t happen to find any magnetic recording tape in it by any chance, did you?

About 18 minutes worth?

I couldn’t agree more. Chimpy, like his Reichwhiner pals, is contemptuous of knowledge/education.

When I was growing up I would not have believed that our country would have become a victim of such primitive thinking. Bushco never pushed education. They pushed indoctrination. They are fundamentally: dishonest, bigoted, ignorant, dogmatic, vindictive, petty, dishonorable, reckless, partisan, primitive, delusional, aggressive and incurious. And it all stems from their closed minds.

I still remember stopping at that country store, and the Amish girls standing outside on one side of the store, and the boys on the other. (they couldn’t mingle with each other).

We tried saying hi to the girls but they just stood there giggling. (good thing too cause damn they were ugly, lol).

I kept asking the young men what was going on (I didn’t realize they were Amish at the time, I’d never seen one) and if they were part of a parade or something. Finally one of the young men came over and told us “We’re not permitted to talk to the English”.

I responded, “Hey no problem, we’re not English, we’re Americans“.

:D

Big engines and quick acceleration are not the only ways to enjoy driving.

I came of age in the muscle car generation. I learned to drive in a Delta 88 with a 455ci V-8. The first car I bought was a Camero. I had a lot of fun and managed to avoid legal hassles because I lived in a rural area and I’m more cautious than average. That didn’t prevent me from “burying” a few speedometers. Then I grew up.
