I am back from my Adirondack hunt. Great fun, of course. I missed quite a few grouse, but I knocked down a few too. Plenty of woodcock around, but I am always ambivalent about shooting them. Glad I missed the technical problems on the blog: it comes of using rustic servers made of wood and baling wire. Saw a fine shooting star, too, and made a wish. Photo is the West Branch of the Ausable River, in Whiteface.

Does half of America hate Hillary? I don't find her very likeable, but I don't hate her. Just another arrogant, power-hungry pol, who has some wrong assumptions about life and human nature, who wants to use the fruits of my labor to build power, and who thinks she's smarter than she is.

Liberals are a puzzlement to me, by Bert Prelutsky. A quote:
Why is it that liberals seem to believe that recycling cans is an important issue, but defeating terrorism isn’t? Why do they put so much stock in the blathering of Al Gore and Michael Moore? Why do they regard secondhand smoke as a bigger menace than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? What is wrong with these people?
Why will the same folks who’d call a cop if someone set foot in their front yard be so unconcerned about 20 million illegal aliens setting up camp in their country? And why will the same saps who work themselves into a tizzy if some small town sets up a Christmas tree in the public square defend a church’s right to provide a sanctuary for foreign nationals who have no business being in our country?
