Or, alternately, we nuke the site from orbit, to be sure, then use those on the Lamp Post List as laborers in the radioactivity rubble to erect the statue.

This was back when we were still limited to single shot pistols. Jackson was already semi-frail at age 67, and was dependent on the use of a cane, but was clearly one feisty old dude. The dude that tried to assassinate him (An unemployed house painter) experienced a misfire. A furious Jackson proceeded to whack the living crap out him with his cane. In the scuffle, the dude pulled a second pistol, which once again, misfired! At this point, Jackson’s aides contained the dude, but Jackson certainly got his licks in with that cane, and probably didn’t even need their help!<br /><br />It’s thought that the assassin was not a political adversary, but just plain crazy. But here’s the part that will probably make him (Jackson) an instant hero to Jim:<br /><br />“At the time, Jackson’s Democrats and the Whigs were locked in battle over Jackson’s attempt to dismantle the Bank of the United States”.<br /><br />https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/andrew-jackson-narrowly-escapes-assassinationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-14439967626895796002020-01-24T18:26:19.381-08:002020-01-24T18:26:19.381-08:00Sharks with laser beams are better, but they might...Sharks with laser beams are better, but they might be limited in your areaJames M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-76762863080783195992020-01-24T18:24:49.068-08:002020-01-24T18:24:49.068-08:00At that age you need all you can get.

I've had 2 experiences with rip tides in the Gulf. First nearly ended me, second was slicker than cat shit on linoleum. <br /><br />If I may share my survival tip with minions. <br />Along sandy shores of Gulf and lower Atlantic the wave and current action create 2 or 3 ever shifting sand bars parallel to beach. Distance from beach can go out quite a ways.<br /><br />Wave action will push ever increasing volumes of water over the sand bars toward beach. As volume increases back pressures builds in resistance to jamming too much water into too small an area near beach incline. At some point, the back pushing pressure finds a weak spot on the soft sand bar, cuts through and then WHOOSH, instant outgoing "rip tide"<br />Millions of gallons of water surge thru the narrow gap nearly perpendicular to beach. Eventually the gap widens enough to lessen the surge and speed of the "rip tide". <br />What happens is folks near the sandbar "cut" get swept seaward in the swift rip tide. <br />At this point many panic.<br />In their panic they try to swim back to shore against the tide. Bad move. You'll exhaust yourself and drown. I'm pretty good swimmer and my first rip tide nearly drowned me.<br /><br />The trick is to let the rip tide carry you out to sea. Yep, go with the flow. Flip on your back and float out. As rip tide lessens the prevailing ocean current that runs parallel to beach will carry you "down stream". Those currents are far weaker than rip tide, which at start is almost explosive.<br />Once you've floated out of the rip zone you can start swimming back to shore in a DIAGANOL direction. Aim for a spot at 45° from you and paddle yourself back in. Take your time and if tired float awhile and catch your breath. Eventually you'll catch the shallows.<br /><br />My first rip tide I tried to swim straight back in. Impossible. Couldn't make any forward progress but exhausted myself. Thank God I did land on 3rd sand bar and rested.<br />By my second experience, I learned about floating out and then diagonal. I ended up 1/2 mile down the beach. Tired but alive.<br />In neither case was I in high wave action just the usual 2-3 foot mini waves. Seems that bigger waves & higher wave action cuts up sand bars more and seems to lessen the build up of pressure against beach. Sounds counter intuitive, I know.<br /> <br />Take away...if you can float you can survive. Hum a Jimmy Buffet song.<br /><br />On an unrelated topic. The energy skeptic article you linked must know something. Uh huh!<br />To wit: "Therefore, in the 52 US states, we have 34.7 million cords...".<br />I guess energy skeptic now counts 2 new states in the Union. Wonder who our new countrymen are?<br />Yeah, energy skeptic are the guys I want to listen to when it comes to energy and "Peak Oil". <br />52 states? No thanks.<br /><br />Lastly, Wuhan corona virus. Yep, pandemic. My boogeyman. Coming to your neighborhood. <br />Got face masks and hand disinfectant?Anon()()noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-10371294207133826202020-01-24T15:46:23.499-08:002020-01-24T15:46:23.499-08:00My wife purchased a solid hickory cane for the fir...My wife purchased a solid hickory cane for the first hip surgery , and I think it would make a rather nice club.sjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529005584879037582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-69893294637528463872020-01-24T12:25:19.315-08:002020-01-24T12:25:19.315-08:00The prepper nurse guy, bald with huge beard, just ...The prepper nurse guy, bald with huge beard, just said two cities at minimum, 20 million people, in quarantine.

Just because of cure time needed.<br />Which means at the start of each fall, I'd have about ten cords on hand. Five for this year and five for next year's. <br /><br />This as you know Jim is the prime reason I left a great bol in Idaho which had a clear title. Winter will quickly become non survivable as the wood supply is rapidly used up.<br /><br />You can live underground to mitigate some of the cold, but you still need fuel for cooking and water purification. Not to mention hygiene to disinfect your skanky ass...<br />Notice that article says 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 year supply for your area at most.<br />Florida , 25 years even at current populations.<br />Which we all know the food will be gone way before then.<br /><br />Why do you think I keep harping on manufacturing of expendable supplies being job two. Only after proper amounts of food storage.<br /><br />If you only have what's on hand and do not possess the knowledge and skills to make stuff from scratch. You will most certainly not live past your storage.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-44060810325390028332020-01-24T10:29:31.564-08:002020-01-24T10:29:31.564-08:00Anal chastity belts?
