Hiatus



I'm outta here until mid-next week. I'll be unchaining feral sons Uday and Qusay from the basement and giving them free run of the house, so they'd better not chew up the sofa again.

Since I won't be here to moderate, I'm turning comments off until my return. Please hold all tips, emails and social media messages, because I not only won't get to them now, there's no way I'll be able to on my return.

Thanks for understanding.  See ya on the other side.

I'm getting too many Facebook "friend" requests to process and determine which accounts are fake. Every time I approve one, another or two pop up, a lot of the time from hackers pretending to be Facehookers. Apologies to anyone trying to connect, but until I figure things out, including who I've let in whose page brought in the others, I need to suspend accepting new requests. Sorry, but the only reason I'm on "social media" is to promote the work, and dealing with this is taking time away from that.

If the "rationale" put forth by the administration is allowed to prevail, the gun-grabbers will then be able to use it to go after all semiautos.
