The Coffee House

[jeffashman]

Never again am i calling the police, I've lost my faith in them after today. What BS. Seriously i dont understand. They didn't even confiscate the weapon.

Looked real enough 200 meters away and real enough 10 meters away. There's no place for this kind of behaviour in my books.

Unauthorised possession of a firearm It is an offence under the Firearms Act to have unauthorised possession of an imitation or replica firearm. The offence carries a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment, with a standard non-parole period of 4 years.

In my neck of the woods, we have one of the most heavily armed population per capita in the US, with more registered firearms per household than most other places in the country, along with open carry and Constitutional carry (concealed carry). Rarely ever see anyone actually packing around here.

Good morning Hosers! The weather folks missed it again, and we are still suffering from triple digit temps. Stepping out the door is like stepping into a dry sauna. Checking to see if there are any cabins available at Prudhoe Bay for the rest of the summer...

False autumn is over, back in the 90’s next week.

 

[Digger...]

Marmite? Vegemite? Branston pickel and cheddar? What kind of sandwich?

Shaved turkey, cheese, tomato with sea salt and cracked black pepper with sweet mustard pickle. Usually dont do mustard on turkey but im needing to use it up.

Im out of branston, gotta get some today.

Ps. You ever tried Vegemite, do they have that there?

At least where I am in the Northeast, we're more likely to see Marmite in the "international" aisle in the supermarket than Vegemite. I've tried the both. It's not an easy taste - very salty. I was once asked to do a blind taste test to help settle a bet between some British and Aussie/Kiwi co-workers. I told them that they were both trying to poison me I have recently thought that I might give it a try again.

Bama says hold my beer. LOL the open carry has declined here once the newness wore off and people realized they would be the first target

Wow sitting in a parking lot with the windows down, 91 degrees and it's comfortable. What a difference 50% humidity makes.

Yes, we can get both vegemite and marmite. I prefer marmite.

About mid 70's here, and a bit humid. But of course there are ways to stay cool

Yeah, I think a lot of people are smart enough that they figure if things get hot and they are not in a uniform and they have a gun in their hand, they just might get shot.

What a beautiful day to be on the water. I finished my Kayak Fundamentals course a while ago, paddling on the Casco Bay, so salt water and some tidal action. Absolutely loved it, glad I took it, and can't wait to get everything ready for the home 'yaks. Kingfisher, Great Blue Heron, and Bald Eagle flying around. No cqmera except the phone, and that spend most odf the time in a zip-lock bag, in the vest.

Eagle's Nest (not a good shot)
