Milk Sandwiches

[kenno]

Actually I would like to restate this:
In Texas; it is not that the other states exist,,,it is the other states do not exist and only intrude at the most inconvient times

[kenno]

You know (having grown-up in 1960's TX and seen this) the great defining differance between "THE WEST" and all the "OTHER" parts of the USA is that, at least in TX. is that men can draw-down on each other.
PPL try to say that it is all gang this and gang that.
My personal experience as a 17YO was a matter of honor and there were no snipers ect.
In a graveyard of course. Near Alpine. In retropect, both of us had higher ideals than any politician then alive, or alive since. But it was the honor of the thing, actually it was any excuse to play paintball with reall bullets as paint ball did not exist!.
As an after thought, since we could not kill each other, and since we were both drunk, and since I had married his sister 3 weeks earlier, (don't even ask why he did not know of the nuptials) we just went to town and ,welll i still have a anted poster in that part of Tex which is really Mex Tex. and you know I love those PPL on the border, though it is very dry there!

If you can say what is in your heart, out loud, in public, with-out flinching; you are either honest and well intentioned; a politician; or insane.

I'll take the last of those choices for myself. :p

I had my own column with my college newspaper at one time. Editors back then were as distortionist and conniving bass-turds as they are now. They would deliberately butcher my spelling and grammar and misplace whole chucks of paragraph in the layout.

:mad:

Well no more! Thanks to the technology of the Information Age, I can do all of that myself, thank you much, and correct it all in the blink of an eye.

I've also been offered a talk-radio program too. But in my community, saying some of the things I hold to, I would have ended up like Alan Berg way too easily.

:eek: :)

But thanks anyway for the kind thoughts. Maybe I'll do some kind of paid writing venture to supplement my income as the year goes on, depending on how much control I have of my content. I'll share it when I do.

wAit One,,,,Tinfoil and sheep,,,is that one word or two? Do you need a Las Vegas Preacher to make it legal?
I lived in Mt Isa for 3 whole days at The Returned Serviceman's League Club, fanciest joint in town!
The whole point of putin the town there was because every other bit of land went under water every 10 years! It's just like Avery Island Louisiana, when it rains the hills become islands! I'll bet the locals are watching the news and saying 'So the eff what'! LOL!

Rusty,

Thanks for the article. At least now I know that the "bread-and-milk" mob mentality is not confined to North and South Cackalacka.

Nevertheless, it's still pathetic, if not more so. You would think that Aussies would be even more conscientious about preparedness. 'Course, they are the ones who disarmed themselves a few years back, so go figure.

Just sticking with the Milk and Bread theme here.

From an Australian paper:

Milk, Bread Running Out in Flood-Hit Queensland Town

January 5, 2009
Brisbane Times - Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Mt Isa is down to two days' supply of bread and milk as flood waters continue to plague north-west Queensland.

The region has been hit by torrential rain in the past week, with more than 170 millimetres on Mt Isa since New Year's Day.

The rain has again caused the blockage of the Barkly Highway, between Mt Isa and Cloncurry, and Mt Isa Mayor John Molony said supplies of fresh food were running short.

"The fresh food and vegetables that come into town is something that doesn't last very long when the roads are cut," Cr Molony said.

"I think at the moment there is about two or three days of bread left in the city, but I think fresh milk is in short supply.

"Probably two or three days, or a little bit less."

Cr Molony said the supplies depended heavily on the flood waters receding and letting freight supplies into the city.

"If these rainwaters subside around Cloncurry and Julia Creek and McKinlay, a truck can get through and replenish supplies."

He said showers and storms were still predicted for the next few days.

He said the roads had been cut "on and off" over the past four days.

Mt Isa has received nearly as much rainfall in four days as it did for the whole of 2008. Since January 1 the city has received 166 millimetres, just shy of last years total rainfall of 173.8 millimetres.

Meanwhile the State Government has announced disaster relief funding for the flooded areas, with Treasurer Andrew Fraser this morning estimating $4 million in damage to roads, bridges and facilities in the area.

"The Department has activated NDRRA assistance for the restoration of essential public assets, primarily roads, and counter-disaster costs incurred by local councils," he said.

"The estimated damage is $2 million in the McKinlay region, and $1 million in both Cloncurry and Burke local government areas," Mr Fraser said.

Member for Mt Isa Betty Kiernan said that if any residents did suffer personal hardship as a result of the storms and associated flooding, they could apply to the Department of Communities for assistance, on 1800 173 349.

Rusty,

I'm not sure you fully understand this phenomenon that I've found is peculiar to NC and upstate SC.

You see, the very people who line up at the store for bread and milk whenever the word "snow" is whispered are the same ones who chortle and snicker at us if they see us buying a Corona Grain Mill and a 50 lb bag of hard red winter wheat.

The "bread-and-milk" mob are the same ones that would bring code enforcement down on your head if they caught you raising hens or rabbits in your suburban back yard, even if not one critter ever invaded the neighbor's yard.

The same mentality that gets into fisticuffs in a store over a loaf of Wonder Bread and a bottle of Pet Whole Artery-Clogger are the same people who gulp and stammer at the thought of a peaceful honest citizen carrying arms either open or concealed without government approval.

I don't think that the "bread-and-milk" mob are simply misguided Survivalists. And when they do the same thing Winter after Winter, year after year without fail, I don't think even your wise down-to-earth words will convince them to take a different course in life. They'll either need a more traumatic epiphany or they won't see the light at all.

By the bye, except when I'm at work in my retail store, I don't ever have a chance to talk to "bread-and-milk-ers" because I've got my bread and milk weeks before, along with vanilla flavoring, chocolate syrup, and several of those Carnation Evaporated Milk Sons-o'-Bitches to make Snow-Cream. Also, I have the good sense to not drive on snow-piled roads unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.

"I wonder how the poor snow-bunnies are living today!"

:cool: :D

[Big_Saw]

What you do with milk, tinfoil and a sheep is none of our business.

On the contrary, my friend...I happen to have already mailed you some stunnig videos of all three......;)

I understand the mentality. I lived in an upscale neighborhood north of Ft Worth for 9 years. However, after I really started talking to folks with the same mentality as the ones to whom you are refering, folks started looking into things themselves. I actually had neighbors coming by every so often telling me that they found x, y or z on sale and bought 5 of them at a cheap price. They were wanting my approval. Living by example by being kind to folks and talking to them like people instead of like they are yuppie scum will go a long way to move them foreword. Even if they just buy some estra stuff every so often because they remember what you said.
