A number ending in zero.
I intended to get this post up a couple days ago for the actual event. But. I spend most of my days off asleep and/or in some form of self induced waking coma, usually involving a TV and copious amounts of snack foods. To cut to the chase, I hit the big 30 on Wed. and you know what? My parents were right, once you reach a certain age it really is just another day. So Happy Birthday to me. But alas it's off to work for me this evening to work a 48hr shift over the weekend and holiday. Should be a good check so I'll call it a late B-Day present from my employer.

Those crazy Missourians and their crazy gun laws.
HB 294 drew one step closer to becoming law today when the House approved the Senate amendment(s) and thus Truly Agreed and Finally Passed the bill. Next step Governor Nixon's desk. Barring Gov. Nixon wishing to join the ranks of the unemployed at the next election, signing would be in his best interest.
Update: Changed link to the Truly Agreed and Finally Passed summary rather than the previous summary of the Senate committee.

Finally found it.
Video of the Medal of Valor award ceremony for Missouri Officers. The reason I post this is because Sgt. Ball of the Dent Co. Sheriff's Office is a friend of mine. He was also the assistant instructor at my CCW class. He told me and several others about the ceremony and the story behind his receipt of the medal not long ago and I've been looking for some footage ever since. I couldn't be more proud of him and the other officers on that stage. Some of them have truly harrowing stories they shared with him.

New definitions, should be simpler.
A new, simpler definition of "Engineer," presented without further comment.
Engineer:
(1) Someone who can design and build a machine to fit a need and maintain it's operation.
(2) Someone who can take someone else's machine and figure out where they, or you, screwed it up and fix it.
(3) Someone who takes one look at your now non-functioning machine and tells you to "get f***ed" because "fixing it isn't an option."

Or suck hard. But.
QOTD: "We’ve strayed into strange new territory here and there are many possible outcomes if we don’t stray the hell back out. And don’t for a second think that any of those possible outcomes are remotely good. No. They range somewhere between the Great Depression and Mad Max."
The man is my hero.
Speaking of Mad Max.
