    Snow Blowers I’ve moved away from having any 2-Stroke gas-oil mixtures in gas cans. I don’t use enough of it. I purchase it in one gallon tins. This means there is never a question as to the right gas can to use to feed a motor. We have a few gas cans around. Unfortunately, the…

    President Carter is dead

    May his time in Hell be tempered by the good he did after he was no longer in office. In my opinion, this man started the decline of respect for the United States. His policies were so bad that we still have not recovered from them. The Middle East is a cesspool of tribes. All…

    SCOTUS We currently have one case scheduled for the January 10th conference. The other two cases have not been rescheduled yet. I do not know what we will see in the court filings before the 10th. What does it mean to be conferenced? When a party petitions the Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari,…
