Today, as I posted a bit ago on FB, I wish I lived in Zanesville, Ohio.

| On a central column at my office. 800+ pounds on the hoof. |
Yes indeedy. I wish I lived there. I would be out looking for these escaped critters with the full intention of putting one (or more) on the wall and meat in the freezer.
Reminds me of the time we had a live tiger come to Ashburn. The owner said regulations required he keep the animal confined behind a double (or triple) barrier. If it escaped, he had 1 minute to get his hands on it. If that failed, he had a bit more time to tranquilizer the critter. If that didn't take, instant trophy.
A lot of people are going to object to my attitude.
A lot of people have also never been 10 feet away from an animal fully capable of and intending to kill them to death. I have. My last stare down was with a 200+ pound wild boar which was charging at me. Now THAT was a rush.
WILD animals are not pets. Attempting to make them so is an excellent way to court death regularly.
The only thing to do now to these escaped animals is shoot 'em before they kill someone. Wish I was there.

Harold Camping, the guy who predicted the end of the world back in May and was proven wrong is now saying the world will end Friday. "Probably" in his words.

Considering how well the football team is doing right now...
Anyway, when the world doesn't come to an end, Camping et al will back up, refigure, recalculate, reassess and make a new prediction. It's what such folks do. The Seventh Day Adventists formed when a prediction their leaders years ago failed. The Jehovah Witnesses have made the prediction so many times no one (except the followers of the Council in New York) take them seriously.
All of 'em ignore what the Bible has to say about false prophets.

Raining today. Could not go deer hunting as we're just in black powder season. BP and rain do not mix.

What is the job of a formal teacher?
 |
| Chuck Norris don't need logic. |
Too many today think their job is to collect a paycheck and force rote memorization of students.
If you are a teacher, do you encourage your students to debate with you? Do you let them argue their point? Do you reward them or slap them down for speaking out and up in class?
If a student develops a cogent, rational and deliberate case to support their point and you disagree, what grade does the student get? OK, say the student comes to the wrong conclusion, but the chain of logic is admirable. What then?

An awesome turnout last night for the Sheriff's forum. Standing Room Only, literally. Hope to have the video up on Youtube later this week.
Most interesting was how the candidates answered the question about staying within budget. What they said, I am absolutely certain, is not what a lot of people heard.
If you ask a "yes" or "no" question and the person gives you an answer and starts putting qualifiers on it, the real answer is the opposite of what they first said.
Our next sheriff will have a MAJOR impact on our property taxes. Think about that when you vote.
The same applies to any politician. Think about that when you vote.
