...nor did I shoot. I did get myself distanced, observed and reported. Just last night I went out to train my brain, and do some night shooting with all the meaness and car-jackings going on around here. I kept saying over and over to some folks Don't be where trouble is - leave if trouble...

We are Responsible. Yes TFL folks know this. Recent events have really proven our belief system. We tend to get blue in the face trying to “change others”. The reality is – the only person that can change a person – is that person themselves. Sometimes it takes the tragedy of another, or more...

I had coffee this morning with a Catholic Father , Retired Sheriff, and retired Bookie. We used to go to the horse races, main deal was to watch the people, eat the shrimp cocktail and the corned beef sandwiches. Almost forgot- the vanilla ice cream and the Shrimp Gumbo at LA Downs... Bookie...

I went outside to smoke and see if the chipmunks were playing. Parked at the end of my street is the postal truck. Then I noticed a plain compact car pull up behind the postal truck. This is NOT unusal, as my street ends in a cul-de-sac, so folks often park down at the cross street and do...
