Comments Off on Visiting Angels are not Angels
Reviews are not good for Visiting Angels at ConsumerAffairs.com.
Since my mother was found bludgeoned to death and robbed of over $4,000 while under the care of Visiting Angels, I have to agree that Visiting Angels are not angels at all.
This company has as great name, but a dark record.
Beware of using Visiting Angels to care for your loved ones.

The speech is long — 6,000 words long. One can measure the excellence of the speech by the apoplexy it has induced among the lunatic left. They are intoxicated with impeachment mania.

Category: Homefront | Comments Off on The Suzuki RM400 Experience
The ultimate dirt bike was the Suzuki 400, fitted with a piston that put the compression ratio above a measurable compression range.
There were two Dont’s with this bike:
Using the kick starter resulted (twice) in broken legs. We now use a tow strap to compression-start the beast with a pickup truck.
Sitting on the seat resulted in the bike flipping you off the back when you cranked the throttle. Sitting on the gas tank in front of you gave you a chance to accelerate while remaining in control of the bike.
It was wild.
I remember zooming across a field at about 70 mph and hitting full throttle.
The bike (me on the gas tank, standing on the foot pegs) went vertical and accelerated to about 85 mph.
Good times are often terrifying.
This was a good time!
The Suzuki RM400 was a terrifying beast to ride … but I would do it again, if given a chance!

Category: Homefront | Comments Off on Screaming Bridge: An Arlington, Texas Ghost Story
From TheBoneyard.org we have this account:
“A prominent urban myth in North Texas, screaming bridge has been visited by many locals over the decades. From teenagers out having fun to paranormal investigators, the story draws many in search of their own screaming bridge experience. Trying to hear the screams of the departed has been a ritual of passage for many Arlington teens.”
In the mid 1970’s I had heard that legend and still cruised to that area.
Many times.
Once as a passenger in the back seat of my buddy’s Mustang, I had to scream myself to get him to stop our car as were speeding toward the “Death Crossing”.
After dusk you could see the dark horizon, but that night the horizon was moving. What appeared to be the horizon was moving from East to West. We skidded to a stop with only feet to spare to avoid a collision with a freight train.
On another night, I rode with another driver on the same road when he over steered a corner and we rolled his ’66 Plymouth Barracuda in mid-air off the left side of Mosier Valley Road.
With no seat belts, we both experienced weightlessness as the car spun downward – hitting the ground first on it’s passenger side and coming to rest on all four wheels. It was Mark’s first car. And it was totaled. (Sad story after so many years his sister had taken such good care of it before it was his.)
The Death Crossing at Screaming Bridge almost killed me twice.
Thanks to the TheBoneyard.org for researching and posting the origins of the legend.
It was tough to survive being a teenager then; I suspect that it’s not easy now, either.
Thankfully, I can only recall about 8 or 9 near death experiences in my life.
Two of those happened at Screaming Bridge.

Category: Guns, Pr0n | Comments Off on Range Report: Ruger Mini-14 Tactical with Trijicon ACOG TA31F and Gemtech SHIEILD Suppressor
Ruger Mini-14 Tactical
A good day at the range with the new Mini-14 Tactical model from Ruger.
It arrived last week, together with a Gemtech SHIELD suppressor and a Gemtech Quick-Mount Flash hider.
All were assembled and carried to my favorite Cabella’s store in Fort Worth for some optics. A Trijicon 4×32 (TA31F) was installed.
Thanks to some bore-sighting assistance at the Alpine shooting range in Ft Worth, I zeroed the sights at 30 yards (using to 300 meter Reticle markings). I then moved to the 100 yard range. The 30 yard zero was confirmed at 100 yards and 20 more rounds were sent down range.
Shot groups varied from three fingers to width-of-hand at 100 yards. Close enough.
With a 100 yard zero, the Trijicon TA31F rifle sight has holdover indicators for 200 to 800 meters. The sight has measurement bars that indicate a standard silhouette target with 19″ shoulder width at various ranges for distance measurement.
Target acquisition is intuitive and fast with this optic and rifle combination.
The next accessories to arrive are the Here’s a pic with the Harris #14 bipod mount and a Harris Benchrest 6-9″ Bi-Pod.
This is now my newest favorite rifle, until the fully automatic AC-556 transfer is approved by the ATF.

If a citizen is law-abiding in his home state, he or she is going to be law-abiding in a different state where they might find a firearm they want to buy, but the interstate sales ban prevents that. Citizens can purchase all sorts of other goods across state lines, but why not the one tool that is specifically mentioned and protected by the Constitution’s Second Amendment? That simply defies logic and common sense.

One side exists to subjugate our free wiil to the State.
The other side fights for our individual rights to transcend the bonds of the State.
One side is characterized by its losers.

On a gorgeous Fall morning and afternoon, I had the opportunity to drive all five of my cars.
My Lexus 430 SC, two Honda CRVs; my 1968 Chevy C-10 Custom and my 1965 Shelby AC Cobra.
The Cobra’s clutch wouldn’t let me put it in gear while it was running until I put a few miles on it. (I started the engine in gear to get it going).
As always, the ’65 AC Cobra was a wild and terrifyingly explosive ride; spinning the tires in 2nd gear just by pushing the gas pedal. Chirps the tires in 3rd and 4th after shifts.
It. Is. Awesome.
After today’s run, the hydraulic clutch is now functioning properly. I should take her out more often to keep her limbered up.

Never Forget. Never Forgive.
Fresh evidence submitted in a major 9/11 lawsuit moving forward against the Saudi Arabian government reveals its embassy in Washington may have funded a “dry run” for the hijackings carried out by two Saudi employees, further reinforcing the claim employees and agents of the kingdom directed and aided the 9/11 hijackers and plotters.
Two years before the airliner attacks, the Saudi Embassy paid for two Saudi nationals, living undercover in the US as students, to fly from Phoenix to Washington “in a dry run for the 9/11 attacks,” alleges the amended complaint filed on behalf of the families of some 1,400 victims who died in the terrorist attacks 16 years ago.
The court filing provides new details that paint “a pattern of both financial and operational support” for the 9/11 conspiracy from official Saudi sources, lawyers for the plaintiffs say. In fact, the Saudi government may have been involved in underwriting the attacks from the earliest stages — including testing cockpit security.
“We’ve long asserted that there were longstanding and close relationships between al Qaeda and the religious components of the Saudi government,” said Sean Carter, the lead attorney for the 9/11 plaintiffs. “This is further evidence of that.”
Lawyers representing Saudi Arabia last month filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which may finally be headed toward trial now that Congress has cleared diplomatic-immunity hurdles. A Manhattan federal judge has asked the 9/11 plaintiffs, represented by lead law firm Cozen O’Connor, to respond to the motion by November.
Citing FBI documents, the complaint alleges that the Saudi students — Mohammed al-Qudhaeein and Hamdan al-Shalawi — were in fact members of “the Kingdom’s network of agents in the US,” and participated in the terrorist conspiracy.
They had trained at al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan at the same time some of the hijackers were there. And while living in Arizona, they had regular contacts with a Saudi hijacker pilot and a senior al Qaeda leader from Saudi now incarcerated at Gitmo. At least one tried to re-enter the US a month before the attacks as a possible muscle hijacker but was denied admission because he appeared on a terrorist watch list.
Qudhaeein and Shalawi both worked for and received money from the Saudi government, with Qudhaeein employed at the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Shalawi was also “a longtime employee of the Saudi government.” The pair were in “frequent contact” with Saudi officials while in the US, according to the filings.
During a November 1999 America West flight to Washington, Qudhaeein and Shalawi are reported to have tried multiple times to gain access to the cockpit of the plane in an attempt to test flight-deck security in advance of the hijackings.
‘The dry run reveals more of the fingerprints of the Saudi government.’
– Kristen Breitweiser
“After they boarded the plane in Phoenix, they began asking the flight attendants technical questions about the flight that the flight attendants found suspicious,” according to a summary of the FBI case files.
“When the plane was in flight, al-Qudhaeein asked where the bathroom was; one of the flight attendants pointed him to the back of the plane,” it added. “Nevertheless, al-Qudhaeein went to the front of the plane and attempted on two occasions to enter the cockpit.”
The pilots were so spooked by the Saudi passengers and their aggressive behavior that they made an emergency landing in Ohio. On the ground there, police handcuffed them and took them into custody. Though the FBI later questioned them, it decided not to pursue prosecution.
But after the FBI discovered that a suspect in a counterterrorism investigation in Phoenix was driving Shalawi’s car, the bureau opened a counterterrorism case on Shalawi. Then, in November 2000, the FBI received reporting that Shalawi trained at terrorist camps in Afghanistan and had received explosives training to perform attacks on American targets. The bureau also suspected Qudhaeein was a Saudi intelligence agent, based on his frequent contact with Saudi officials.
More, investigators learned that the two Saudis traveled to Washington to attend a symposium hosted by the Saudi Embassy in collaboration with the Institute for Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America, which was chaired by the Saudi ambassador. Before being shut down for terrorist ties, IIASA employed the late al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki as a lecturer. Awlaki ministered to some of the hijackers and helped them obtain housing and IDs.
The FBI also confirmed that Qudhaeein’s and Shalawi’s airline tickets for the pre-9/11 dry run were paid for by the Saudi Embassy.
“The dry run reveals more of the fingerprints of the Saudi government,” said Kristen Breitweiser, one of the New York plaintiffs, whose husband perished at the World Trade Center.
“These guys were Saudi government employees for years and were paid by the Saudi government,” she added. “In fact, the Saudi Embassy paid for their plane tickets for the dry run.”
After the Nov. 19, 1999, incident — which took place less than two months before the first hijackers entered the US — both Saudi men held posts as Saudi government employees at the Imam Muhammad Ibn Saudi Islamic University, the parent of IIASA — “a further indication of their longstanding ties to the Saudi government,” the 9/11 complaint states.
Carter said in an interview that the allegations that the Saudi Embassy sponsored a pre-9/11 dry run — along with charges of other Saudi involvement in the 9/11 plot, from California to Florida — are based on “nearly 5,000 pages of evidence submitted of record and incorporated by reference into the complaint.”
They include “every FBI report that we have been able to obtain,” though hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents related to Saudi terror funding remain secret.
Attempts to reach lawyers representing the Saudi government by phone and email were unsuccessful. However, in last month’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, they argued that the plaintiffs cannot prove the kingdom or its employees directly supported the hijackers.
