I'd rather have a Hummer

I did that very thing in 1947; Central Grade School, Pierce City, Mo. Only my knee hit a sharp rock, tore my overalls, made a deep cut about 3/4 of an inch long, and deep. I frankly don't remember even telling the teacher. I know Mom was mad, because my overalls were fairly new...what's a little blood?

(1978ish) Around ten yrs old I got cut bad enough the teacher had someone drive me to my family Dr.
They put a few stitches in and I went home. No call to parents, no panicking, just showed up at home with stitches.
A few days later I was walking home from school and figured I'd get them taken out (skin growing over - fast healing i guess)
The nurse took them out and that was that.
Can't imagine many ten year olds dealing with things that way these days. Mostly because of hovering parents IMO.
At that age Dr appointments and dentist etc were me on my own. No need for mom wasting time sitting there.

Man: We went to a great new restaurant last night. Food was fantastic!

Friend: What's it called?

Man: "It's right on the square downtown.

Friend: Yes, but what's it called?

Man: Flower. Red. Long stems. Thorns.

Friend: Rose's?

Man: Yes! Thanks! (Calls out to kitchen) "Rose, what what the name of that place we ate in last night?"

You know, this just illustrates how narrow and/or ignorant some people are. I certainly have no desire to kill a deer, but I can tell you that back in the 30's and early 40's my Dad killed quite a few (illegally I might add) just so we could have meat on the table.

In fact, when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's, much of the wild game...deer, turkeys, beaver...were harvested by the depression meat hunters until there were no turkeys or beaver and very, very few deer left. Now there are more than there ever have been.

Growing up a country boy, I learned to hunt when I was in my teens. Some people don't recognize that country culture and hunting go together, at least they do/did here.

My BIL used to be a police officer with a canine partner (rottweiler). He said the bad guys wouldn't listen to him for crap, but they sure changed their tune when he let the dog loose!

Here's my son training with his K9 Mattis. Of course its another officer wearing the bite suit.

(Having trouble posting personal video on here and I'm not posting it on another site so here's a image from the video)

They're trained to jump through the car window and subdue the perp so they can be detained.

They don't think it through and they don't look past the end of their noses.
Like touting electric cars (that use lithium batteries) to save the planet.
Sounds great, but what effect are lithium mines having on the planet

On a happier note
Merry Christmas everyone...

It's amazing what they learn to do, and they LOVE their job! When my BIL would say, "Let's go to work," that was the high point of the dog's day.

If you are interested, YouTube lets you post a video that is essentially hidden. It is visible to anyone who has the specific link to that video. If you post that link on TBN, that effectively similar to posting the video directly to TBN.
