Jeeze, I wake up, grab some coffee and have a smoke, check my Email and the thing is blown up with stories about mass shootings this morning.
A congress man from Louisiana, a cop and several others shot while playing baseball of all things and then a UPS driver in The City decides to go postal.
So far, the only one dead at the baseball game is the shooter but the guy who drove the Big Brown Truck killed several people before shooting himself but he ain't dead yet.
It's not even noon here yet.

Hell, I have cleared out an entire shop full of mechanics before with a particularly nasty SBD.

A Clever New Band Aid /Tape That Replaces Stitches
I found some on Amazon but they only had 15 at the time I posted this.
I'm going to check and see if my local Wally World has some so I can put them in all my First Aid kits.
Look for these;
3M Steri-Strip reinforced Skin Closures - 1/2" x 4"

I laughed when I saw this was in Klamath Falls.
The entire Southern and Eastern parts of Oregon are thick with Good Old Boys.
I grew up on the Southwest coast of Oregon in an old lumber town.
As a matter of fact, except for the Willamette Valley on the West side, which includes Eugene, Salem and Portland, the entire state is as red as a baboons ass.
Same thing up here in Washington state.
The liberals have a lock on the Puget sound area and the entire East side of Washington state might as well be another country.

Should We Start A Betting Pool To See How Many Times Lynch Invokes The 5th?
If they finally get that woman in a chair in front of an investigative committee I am definitely going to need more popcorn.
Lynch should testify in wake of Comey claims, Graham says
Published June 11, 2017 Fox News
Is former attorney general Loretta Lynch in trouble?
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch should testify before the Senate, top Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday, in the wake of fired FBI Director James Comey calling into question her handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe.
“I want to hear from Loretta Lynch,” Graham said.
The call follows Comey’s claim during a Senate committee hearing that Lynch once directed him to describe the email probe as a "matter" and not an "investigation” -- an alleged intervention Comey said made him “queasy.” He also said that directive, combined with Lynch's unusual Arizona tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton, led him to make his independent announcement regarding the Clinton email probe last July.
Asked Sunday on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” whether he wants Lynch to appear before the judiciary committee on which he sits, Graham, R-S.C., said: “Absolutely.”
Several GOP lawmakers have shown interest in learning more about Lynch’s actions following Comey’s testimony.
Her involvement in the Hillary investigation and her "chance meeting" with Billy Boy, coupled with what Comey has said should put her in the hot seat but good.
Please let her be the first of many more to follow.
The Obama administration was a rats nest of illegal activities.

Saudi's Stop Quatars From Entering Mecca

Reports: Qatari pilgrims harassed in Mecca Grand Mosque
Saudi authorities have prevented Qatari nationals from entering the Grand Mosque in Mecca, marking a sharp escalation in the Gulf diplomatic crisis, Doha-based Al Sharq newspaper has reported.
Qatar's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) received complaints from Qatari citizens that pilgrims from Qatar were barred from entering the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, the paper said on Saturday.
Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri, the NHRC head, called the incident a flagrant violation of the right to practice religious rites as permitted by human rights conventions, the paper said.
The NHRC denounced the incident, considering the step a violation of the right to perform religious rituals guaranteed by human rights conventions, Al Sharq added.
It should be noted that Saudi authorities do not normally question people entering the Grand Mosque on their ethnicity or sectarian affiliation.
The claims come less than a day after the UAE and Bahrain criminalised "sympathy" for Qatar on social media.
The UAE said offenders would be punished with a jail term of up to 15 years, and a $136,000 fine. Bahrain declared it punishable by imprisonment of up to five years.
Since the diplomatic row erupted, slogans against and in support of Qatar have been among the top topics discussed on Twitter in Arabic, which is a hugely popular medium of expression in the Arab world, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
The dispute between Qatar and the Arab countries escalated after a cyberattack on Qatar's state-run news agency.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt severed diplomatic ties and transport links with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of supporting "extremism".
Qatar has vehemently denied the charges.

KERPOW!! Batman Has Died.
While reading this LA Times piece about the iconic Adam West and the original Batman show from the mid 60's, it's kind of hard to believe it was only originally aired for two years.
Of course I used to watch it, that's what kids in the 60's did back then.
Adam West, star of the 'Batman' TV series, dies at 88
Another thing I never knew about him was that he was originally from the Pacific NorthWest.
So long Batman.
Thanks for the memories.

Adam West, star of the 'Batman' TV series, dies at 88
Adam West, who donned a cape, cowl and tights to became an overnight sensation in 1966 as the star of the campy “Batman” TV series, has died, according to a family statement. He was 88.
West, who later lamented being typecast as the iconic Caped Crusader but eventually embraced having been part of American pop culture, died Friday in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, according to multiple reports.
A former Warner Bros. contract player, West was appearing in TV commercials in the mid-1960s to help pay the rent. But several commercials he did for Nestle’s Quik chocolate powder — parodies of the popular James Bond movies in which West played a dry-witted character called Captain Q — had an unexpected outcome.
They caught the attention of 20th Century Fox TV producer William Dozier, who was looking for someone to star as Gotham City millionaire Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego, Batman, in a farcical new series for ABC.
Adam West: Hollywood Star Walk
Based on the DC character created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger in 1939, “Batman” debuted in January 1966 as a twice-weekly half-hour program — 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, with the Wednesday episode ending on a cliffhanger.
West knew his life would never be the same the night the heavily promoted first episode aired.
“I stopped at the market on the way home,” he told Esquire magazine in 2004. “I thought, ‘Tonight, I just want to be alone. I’ll stop, get a steak and a six pack, whatever, then go home and watch the debut of the show.’
“As I walked through the checkout line, I heard people saying, ‘C’mon, c’mon, hurry up. “Batman” is coming on!’ And I said to myself, ‘Goodbye, anonymity.’ ”
The tongue-in-cheek series roared into public consciousness like the Batmobile out of the Batcave.
Snip
The “Batman” series spawned a 1966 movie version and an array of merchandise, including lunchboxes, dolls and toy Batmobiles.
Both nights of “Batman” were rated in the top-10 list of shows for the 1965-66 season. But as with any fad, the show’s popularity eventually began to fade.
By the fall of 1967, the series was cut back to once a week, and it was canceled in March 1968.
Another thing I never knew about him was that he was originally from the Pacific NorthWest.
Born William West Anderson on Sept. 19, 1928, in Seattle, West grew up on a farm outside Walla Walla, Wash., before his parents divorced and he moved to Seattle to live with his mother and her new husband.
He majored in English literature at Whitman College in Walla Walla. He later did post-graduate work in communications at Stanford University but dropped out after six weeks to take a job at a Sacramento radio station.
West, who was drafted into the Army in the early 1950s, was hosting a local daily variety show in Hawaii with a chimp named Peaches and acting in community theater when a Hollywood agent saw him playing the lead in a production of “Picnic.” In 1959, West became a contract player at Warner Bros.
So long Batman.
Thanks for the memories.
