  1. I call BS on that one. I would be willing to bet if the "protestors" were canvased 75% couldn't even tell you the name of the guy that was supposedly murder by the police. (George Floyd). Rioting and causing havoc on people and property that have no involvement is nothing but barbaric and should be dealt with accordingly.
  2. Not for nothing.....but I think we are all guilty of that at one time or another>>>open mouth and insert foot. He must be human but I agree he does go overboard from time to time for someone in his position. I still like the fact he tells it like it is (or as he sees it) doesn't try to smooth things over and sugarcoat everything like most of his predecessors.
  3. I only posted it for Rattler so he could read it and see it was dated 2017 since he said he couldn't access it. I personally found nothing constructive in the article and could really care less what he did 3yrs ago since it doesn't have a big impact on America.

  5. By White House reporter Email Bio Follow November 19, 2017 President Trump called elephant hunting a “horror show” Sunday and strongly suggested he will permanently block imports of elephant trophies from two African nations despite his administration’s earlier approval of the practice. Following strong bipartisan criticism of the administration’s decision to allow imports of trophy carcasses, a practice that was halted under the Obama administration, Trump moved Friday to put the imports on hold. On Sunday, Trump said on Twitter that he would announce a final decision this week. He suggested that he does not buy the argument advanced by pro-hunting advocates within his Interior Department that the imports help protect endangered African elephants. Trump wrote that he would be “very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or any other animal.” Big-game trophy decision will be announced next week but will be very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or any other animal. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 19, 2017 It was not immediately clear whether the reference to “any other animal” might mean he is also reconsidering his administration’s separate lifting of import bans on lion trophies last month. That decision received little attention at the time but has since come under fire as the elephant decision received wide attention. The president’s abrupt reversal Friday means that elephants shot for sport in Zimbabwe and Zambia cannot be imported by American hunters as trophies. “Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts,” Trump wrote Friday evening on Twitter. “Under study for years. Will update soon with [Interior] Secretary [Ryan] Zinke. Thank you!” That halted a decision by his own U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday to end a 2014 government ban on big-game trophy hunting in Zimbabwe and Zambia. Under U.S. law, the remains of African elephants, which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, can be imported only if federal officials have determined that hunting them benefits the species more broadly.
  6. That would be a salamander https://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/67022.html
  7. I have owned quite a few different kinds and my Echo 225 straight shaft has been the best and most dependable by far. Starts every time, runs like a top, very low maintenance, and will cut just about anything.
  8. Just couldn't resist last night:
  9. Dear Neighbors, I hope this letter finds you safe and healthy as we continue to navigate these uncharted waters together. State Senators Joseph Robach, Patrick Gallivan, and I are hosting a blood drive scheduled for TUESDAY, MAY 26th from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., and WEDNESDAY, MAY 27th from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. in the Red Cross Cafeteria, located at 825 John St. in West Henrietta. The American Red Cross assures me they are taking additional precautions to safeguard the safety of their donors and staff at each drive, including: • Pre-screening all individuals, including their staff and volunteers as well as blood donors, by checking their temperature before they enter any Red Cross blood drive or donation center; • Following thorough safety protocols, including wearing gloves, routinely wiping down donor-touched areas, using sterile collection sets for every donation, and preparing the arm for donation with an aseptic scrub; • Incorporating social distancing measures by providing additional spacing between donation beds and stations within the drive; • Collecting blood ONLY from individuals who are healthy, feeling well, and who meet other eligibility requirements, available at RedCrossBlood.org Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Our most recent blood drive was an overwhelming success due to your selflessness and commitment to saving lives. We will continue to get through this together, and we will grow stronger and closer as a result. As always, please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.

  11. Welcome...there is some pretty good hunting close by in that area especially for small game like snowshoes, grouse, & woodcock during the migration. Lots of state land with fairly easy access but be prepared for some brutal winters. Fishing is pretty good also. They tend to measure their snow in feet instead of inches.

    Scaling

    I would do that with a cat but I fillet my fish
  13. Your a better man than me. A dog that bites me and continues to show aggression while I have access to a firearm is going to die regardless of the implications.
  14. If you haven't selected one yet here is a good source with several choices: https://www.etsy.com/listing/683150711/pet-urn-for-dogs-pet-cremation-urn-for?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_christmas_All_Products&utm_custom1=a5c0dbcf-9f47-4bc0-ba61-5ecb3118b450&utm_content=go_1707294367_69268676569_331635229665_pla-293946777986_c__683150711&utm_custom2=1707294367&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8PzV7IDA6QIVy5-zCh18SQkSEAQYASABEgLK1vD_BwE https://www.etsy.com/market/cedar_pet_urn We elected to go with this type in cedar and had it engraved to our liking. It was around $80.00 https://www.etsy.com/listing/507635067/custom-pet-urn-pet-urn-dog-urn-cat-urn?ref=pla_similar_listing_bot-4
  15. It is either a porcupine or this guy:
  16. Only a little over 5.5 Million to go!! We The People BUILT the Wall! $25,490,200 raised of $31,000,000 goal https://www.gofundme.com/f/thetrumpwall
  17. I spray anything that may be exposed. Outside layer, gloves, hats, pack, seat, etc. About the only thing that doesn't get sprayed is my face mask.
  18. But being a long time resident you know it could be the complete opposite this upcoming winter but I wonder if teaching from home or a remote classroom would snow days still be part of the equation.
  19. Believe it or not...….When we were looking to replace ours we shopped around quite a bit and ended up with Home Depot and I could not have expected any better. If you can find a pattern you like I would highly recommend them. They sub-contract all their countertop work. We picked a granite color we liked. They made an appointment for us with a local fabricator who let us pick our own slab and they formed the countertop from that slab. Then they sent someone out to take the measurements. Installation went like a breeze and the price in comparison was good. The only thing I had to do was take out the old one. They gave us enough notice so I could remove it a couple of days before they came. They will also place the sink for you. Worth giving it a shot.
  20. You forgot to mention that most people leave because of the lousy weather/winters.
  21. Biz This is off topic; really none of my business, and I hope you do not take offense but I cringe every time I see a picture of your pool. Knowing you have a little one now and she maybe walking in a few months. I would feel guilty if I didn't at least bring it up. I personally have a relative and a personal friend that each lost a child in backyard pools. Neither one was negligent and neither one didn't have eyes on them for more than a few moments. Bode Miller and his wife also lost there little girl in 2018. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/07/30/bode-miller-and-wife-morgan-on-their-babys-drowning-it-happens-in-the-blink-of-an-eye/ Please don't think I am judging, criticizing, or suggesting, what you should or should not do. My only intent is awareness because so many people never even give it a thought until it is to late. If me sticking my nose in can prevent one needles tragedy I will be happy. Maybe you have it addressed or have a plan but I just couldn't take that for granted and not say nothing. It is a nice pool by the way.
