I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve lived too long.
I spent a lot of time outdoors over the last few days, and the mockingbirds are imitating cell phone and video game noises.
I can’t risk inviting people over for a traditional holiday weekend party because LEO may visit due to excessive smoke, noise, parking violations, dust, or watering the lawn at the wrong time of day, etc, etc.
If I do invite people over for a traditional holiday weekend party, they risk getting caught up in a “Click It Or Ticket” or “DWI” checkpoint - something my 7th –grade civics teacher (1965) told me could never happen in the United States of America.
A pack of cigarettes costs 4 times as much as a “Happy Meal”.
I can’t smoke anywhere (including outside in most New Mexico Counties), except in my truck or my home (for now).
I can’t fill up my truck at pay-at-the-pump gas stations because they cut you off at $75.00.
The neighbors are upset because I shot a marauding squirrel that’s been gnawing on various things I need.
It’s clear to me that I’ve just lived way too long.
Just kill me now.

FACT: Everyday is a gift from God.
He'll tell you when the time is up.
So meanwhile, enjoy the gifts He
has bestowed upon you.
My dad has a 45LC and deer hunts with it, what a great gun! :)
You are not kidding about squirrel shooting.

No wait, or you'll miss Hillary's coronation.
That's piling on and it's not nice! :)
Crash while so drunk you can’t even write your own name, no problem. Crash again three weeks later while falling down drunk, they drive you home, no problem. I’m sure that “Click it or Ticket” would not be a problem either.
Any other illegal activity, just hide the evidence in your Congressional office and point out that you are above the law. You’ll have bipartisan support for you criminal activities.
Dontcha know you were supposed to sneak up on it and use a garrote?
welcome to the United Police States of America
And I can smoke everywhere in the local airport.
Ciggies are about $1.80 a pack for Marlboro Light 100s. $18 a carton.
In Iraq.
I tried to trap the little bastid for several weeks with the idea of either relocating him or putting him in the stock tank, trap and all.
He was just too crafty.
Little creep was scolding me as I pulled the hammer back.
I must admit it was very satisfying.
Those damned butts are unhealthy for you. Like living dangerously? ;-)
let us know when you can't see the target at 150. we'll take up a collection and get ya a scope :)
Yeah, I've noted that as well. It about drove me nuts first time I was in the garage and heard a bird booping and beeping. My first thought that it was some sort of wildlife tracking device. If so, it didn't bother the cat.

Move on up to Wyoming. We're working on pitching the *seatbelt nanny* law there, and going back to *reasonable and proper* speed limits as well. If the highway feds don't like it and cut off federal gas tax money, it'll be the Interstate highways that suddenly become one-lane roads due to the deferred funding first.

I guess you don't buy yours on the local Indian reservation....

I have a similar problem with the toolbox-mounted auxiliary tank that goes with the sidesaddles on my pickup. Accordingly, I fill up from a drum at home [fuel-usable 55-gal drums run around $15 hereabouts] except for about 20 gallons worth, and top up in town if the price is right. And next time out, I do the same, keeping my drums at home full and the truck mostly gassed up. But that's just a minor part of my SOP.

You beast! You subjected those weak souls to such distress! It's clearly your fault for not getting and using some fun suppressed hardware, like a silenced Ruger .22 pistol or 10/22 rifle. I don't know if that's legal under NM law- I believe it is- and okay by your local sheriff, but if not? Come on up to Wyoming....
I sympathize completely... but always hope that maybe I just haven't lived long enough.
I'm just built a little more like Jimmy Stewart.
Sorry grandpa... can't. How about if we just slap you for being a crabby curmudgeon?
Already been done - no effect.
