This morning I was listening to the music channel on television and the song Wooly Bully came on. Before I knew it my wife grabbed me up and we were dancing in the kitchen! Boy did that song take me back to my teenaged years!
My daughter’s boyfriend loves to skateboard. He has encouraged my daughter to learn how to skateboard too. For now he has been lending her one of his many skateboards to learn on. There is a great skateboard park near where they live, and they have been going there almost every day for several weeks now. She is finding out that she loves to skateboard too, and she is getting pretty good at it!
I’m so glad that I get The Comedy Channel with my current satellite subscription. Like tonight I watched Chris Rock and I have to tell you that he is one funny guy. He always keeps me laughing throughout and always leaves me wanting more. What we need is more comedy and less drama, blood and guts, and all that violent nonsense in our every day lives.
Our dogs love to play with cheap squeaky toys that we can buy in the pet supplies section at Wal-Mart. It is so much fun watching our oldest dog go after they squeaker part with great enthusiasm. Most of the new toys that we buy that squeak, are “de-squeaked” within twenty minutes of giving the toy to her. She loves to play tug-of-war and “keep-away” with us with the toy, and we love to watch the two dogs play “keep-away” from each other. We’ll give them both a new identical toy at the same time, yet each dog thinks that the toy that the other dog has MUST be superior, so they are trying to steal each other’s toys. It really is funny to watch them play with each other and with the toys.
I like to shoot guns. Unlike exhaust, loud exhaust I might add, guns are even louder! You really need earplugs! I recently joined a gun club where I live. And immediately started going on a weekly basis trying to improve on my marksmanship, which was pretty good to start with. I hadn’t fired any of my weapons for two to three years because I’ve been extremely busy, but now with a little time I’m able to go once a week and shoot. I don’t drink or do any drugs, so I have a little bit of money to buy bullets, and you can go home when you’re done and not have to worry about being stopped for anything. Cheap entertainment!
Anyway, I discovered a lot of people were going to the range, which really surprised me. Come to find out, half the people going to the range were getting ready to take a proficiency test to get their gun permit. I already had mine, although I am preparing to go for my federal permit. I don’t have to worry about qualifying; I consider myself a great shot. I still go every week just to make sure; and it is fun! But back to the people that go there regularly now. They will probably never go back there again after they get their gun permit as it has become quite a controversial issue down here in the Washington area.
While talking to the gun shop owner, who owns the range, he agreed with me too, but business is brisk right now and these people will take all the business they can get! I forgot to mention he holds proficiency classes every Saturday and is booked up for the next three months!
