"the term 'high capacity' mags is so dumb. if people want to outlaw them, why not outlaw 'high capacity' gas tanks on cars that hold over 10 gallons. that makes the enviroment extra polluted. Why not outlaw 'high capacity' egg cartons that hold a dozen and bring them back to a reasonable 10 egg limit. really does one person need the health concern of that many additional eggs?"

The Bank

The bank across the street from my apt complex got robbed today.

Martin Varner: Texas Pioneer

I received a book from my father yesterday. It is Martin Varner: Texas Pioneer. It is half a history of Martin Varner, talking of him being one of the first 300 chosen to settle Texas. The other half is the genealogy leading to my birth, along with several thousand other people. I guess I understand my obsession with Texas outdoors, being an 8th generation Texan. During the short amount of this book I have read, I found I am eligible to join several historical societies such as the descendants of austins old 300, Sons of the Republic of Texas, the san jacinto descendents, and also through his wife's family, I would be eligible to join the Sons of the American Revolution. I will read more as I find time. I think I will enjoy it. It was written by Don Raney, a very old man to whom I am related. He has been working on this for 30+ years now.

Ants are Strong

Found this little fellow in one of my favorite spots in one of my favorite forest to visit. It is north of Jasper, Texas in the middle of nothing but logging terrirtory.
