Ran into one of my territorial neighbor's posts

See... we do have something in common we can agree on... Maybe we can build on that.

Religion and politics are the two quickest ways to a fist fight

There were surely times and places where property disputes were settled with clubs.

Then The Iron Age happened and folks turned to cuttin' and stabbin' each other.

Nowadays we can just shoot down each others' drones and blame it on poachers.

Corky's BBQ and Ribs.... Never go through Memphis without hitting one of those... :licking:

Haven't been there in many years, but Corky's is the best of all ..... IMHO.

I can get away with telling her no. Don't ever..... ever tell her she is throwing a hissy fit though. You will find out what a true hissy fit is

As a tourist, I always liked Memphis, primarily for the music on Beale St., and the food at the Rendezvous.
But a nice place to visit doesn稚 mean that it would be a good place to live.

Bedminster... Near one of my favorite places in the world to visit, DVC which is now DVU... Wifey and I graduated from there 1980.... Love that countryside...

Nor in mine, but it IS our nation, and it worries me to see such goings-on. What in the heck is happening to us? Don't the "leaders" of cities like Philly, Seattle, Portland, etc. owe it to the good, tax-paying, hard-working citizens to protect them from these kinds of things? And clearly the rioters don't understand that the business owners are going to abandon those areas if there's no protection. I'm truly worried.

The "leaders" of Philly, Seattle, Portland, etc have actually been encouraging the riots. And, No, they do not appear to feel they "owe it to the good, tax-paying, hard-working citizens to protect them from these kinds of things".


Elections have consequences.

We get kids from DelVal that come here and work in the barn, as well as various other projects. I have several friends that are alumni as well.

Years ago I was driving from Little Rock down to Baton Rouge; hotter than the hinges on the gates of h*ll, and I picked a hole in the wall convenience store 30 miles from bum^%$# to grab something to drink. I think I was just across the river from Natchez, MS. Anyway, I walked into this place and there were 3 or 4 guys sitting at a counter drinking beer and I nodded my head and walked to the back to grab a couple of Gatoraids. By the time I came back upfront they were standing by the door wanting to discuss my presence in THEIR place. They obviously had been there a few hours and none were brave enough without the others to start something. I apologized for darkening THEIR door, offered to buy them a round and skidaddled out of there. Trust me... I have had the same thing happen in Philly, Baltimore, upstate NY, low country SC, and anywhere in between. A holes are A holes... It's what they do. I don't think geography plays any part...

I can see how you would have that effect on good, decent people.
