The Four Rules
1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.
3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.
FEAR
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
- Bene Gesserit, from Frank Herbert's Dune

Thank you for your kindness.
My sons had hamsters many long years ago. I don’t know if this gal had hers drugged or what, but it is not in this creature’s nature to calmly sit in someone’s lap anywhere, and I would assume that goes more than double for riding in a car. The whole story is simply not believable from any angle.
And then…. there’s the part you bring up, indeed. Who the heck cares and why should we pay for this nonsense?

Posted by guffaw1952 | October 25, 2012, 7:12 amThe police probably impounded her car. Anything live wouldn’t be left in the vehicle. Makes a cute story.
Posted by WellSeasonedFool | October 25, 2012, 8:19 amLets hope so. (the impound I mean)
Posted by guffaw1952 | October 25, 2012, 11:19 amYep, obviously NOTHING important going on… Sigh…
Posted by Old NFO | October 25, 2012, 9:20 amI felt the need for a non sequitor in this ongoing vat of effluvia.
Posted by guffaw1952 | October 25, 2012, 11:20 amI understand the hamster in question has since been moved to town on the outskirts of Hialeah, FL. and has been given a new identity.

Posted by guffaw1952 | October 25, 2012, 4:16 pmRe: today’s video: David Jansen didn’t know much about handling guns! And, as for holstering, he has it stuffed into the front of his pants, and it’s backwards for a lefty. “La Muneca” is Spanish for “The Doll”, which is in keeping with the Noir spirit, but forget the doll, Barbara Bain Grrrrrowlll!
Posted by gfrancisbrown | October 25, 2012, 3:06 pmYep. Knew that. Glad you’ve been paying attention, AND reading the blog/viewing the YouTube!
Good to see you’re still around! Thanks!
PS – agree on the Grrrrowll!
