We just spent a magical New England Christmas with my sister Lee Ann and her family, along with a gathering of the extended Bookman/Halunen clan. It was a perfect week, complete with a snowy Christmas Day, but life and home beckon. We’re now headed back to the ATL to kick off the new year.
My brother-in-law and host, Reino, is among other things an avid amateur guitar player. In fact, one of the highlights of the holiday came when Reino presented a miniature electric guitar, complete with miniature amp, to his 5-year-old grandson, Nathan, with promises of guitar lessons to come.
Reino’s favorite blues guitar player is the late Gary Moore of Northern Ireland, best known in this country for his stint with Thin Lizzy. So in tribute to Reino and Lee Ann, and in thanks for their great hospitality, here’s Mr. Moore, performing one of his solo hits:

froggie, I remember the name Chicksands and always thought what a killer name for a place. What was your AFSC?
After I left Bentwaters/Woodbridge, there was this wild UFO thing that happened in Rendlesham Forest. A magical place, that I used to “commune” with.

This is a great reason to support absolutely no change what so ever to any gun laws.

Lone Protester Pickets Tanner Gun Show In Denver
“Ban spoons, they make me fat,” a person yelled at the protester.
The topic of gun control brought out a range of emotions from people driving by, some even yelling profanity at the thought of controlling their rights as an American.
“It’s a tool. People kill people and you can’t argue with a sick mind,” a man said.
“It’s not the weapon, it’s the people,” a woman said”

“Obama is to smart to actually try to ban all private ownership because he knows he would not be in office long enough to carry it out.”
An also because it would be unconstitutional… him being a constitutional scholar and all.
And no, no one will try to repeal the second amendment anytime soon.
So why are the gun nuts so upset?
