So a coworker and really good friend, Krystal, got me
blogging again. I thank her for that, it's much appreciated. In fact, now that
I know someone, anyone, is reading the goddamn thing, I want to blog more.
Today's blog will be about a dream I had, and its recent
shattering into a million shards of shiny glass on the floor. I've been looking
at Cottage Grove, Oregon, for over a decade now, as a place to move. The
weather is absolutely perfect, the scenery is next to none, the area is laid
back and encourages outdoor activity and new businesses, such as the hot dog
cart. Wink, nudge.
But yesterday, an article which really pissed me off hit the
instanets. Seems the leftie moron legislature there is trying to push that guns
must have a maximum five round capacity. This means that just about every good
and cool gun in the world becomes illegal and will be destroyed. Every
six-shooter, every 1911, every and any gun that can hold six or more rounds. I
mean, even the stupid Ruger .22 rifles are out. He/they also want each citizen
limited to purchasing 20 rounds a month. I mean, with 20 rounds it's not worth
a trip to the range, trust me.
Now, even the guy who suggested these changes admitted it
won't pass fully, not right away, but that it'll get the ball going in that
direction. And he's probably right. The stripping of our rights is scary to me.
I don't blog a lot or really even talk a lot about politics, but don't fuck
with my guns. Do I shoot every day, every week, even every month? Nope. I do
not. But I have the right to, and that's the point.
Why would I move into a state, beautiful as it is, that's
starting to shift in that direction? Give it ten years and it'll be on par with
Commiefornia or even worse. Why everyone is so fucking scared of guns is beyond
me but that's another blog post. Why lefties ignore facts is also beyond me and
also for another post. Don't they see the numbers in Texas, in Arizona,
where anyone can just carry in public? Murder rates plummeted. I know lefties
don't like facts but Jesus H, the proof is right there in front of them. This
isn't a mystery any longer. Armed citizens makes for a happy, calm life.
Period.
Legally armed, I should clarify.
Anyhow, long story short, I started looking at Arizona. It's
just to fuckin' hot for me, most the state, but I knew Flagstaff was okay so I
started there. I found a nearby but lower town called Williams. Didn’t take
much research to tell me this was a little slice of heaven. And the houses?
Big, cheap, tons of land. Pine trees and red dirt. Nice combo. The town runs on
summer tourism (Grand Canyon, Route 66 car shows, etc) and for the rest of the
year it's a quiet little storybook place. I'm wondering if I couldn’t run my
hot dog car there in the spring and summer and float the rest of the year. I'm
just wondering that.
And I could do it with a sidearm on, if I wanted.
Also, if something went sideways here in SoCal or we just
wanted to visit, it's a six-hour drive instead of what, 18 hours on the road or
the securing of an expensive and bothersome plane ticket? Two of them? Yeesh.
I'll keep the one person still reading this posted. :D
