  1. A Marine Patrol story

    A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened. The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing liberal drunk who doesn't know how to drive. So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Nancy Pelosi!" "And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us."

  9. Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brad Coleman was testing a Gibbs NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car at Arizona Proving Grounds earlier this week and came onto the radio and told his crew something rather unusual. "Guys, I hit a coyote," Coleman said. Coleman was running close to 200 mph around the 10-mile test track when he saw the animal wander under the outside guardrail. "I'm in the middle of the corner, and I'm doing 190," Coleman said Friday at Nashville Superspeedway before practicing his Nationwide Series car. "I'm just cruising. You run the high line there, because that's where the most banking is. It's the high-speed lane. There's just a guardrail there like on the freeway. "I see this thing, it must've been 100 feet in front of me, just jump out. Right when I saw it come out from under the guardrail, I thought, 'That's a coyote.'" "The engine started smoking like crazy," Coleman said. "And it smelled terrible. I didn't see anything in the mirror, so I thought, 'I wonder where the coyote went?' I said, 'Guys, I hit a coyote. I'm going to come in because I think it screwed up the radiator. I think it clogged up the grille a little bit.'"

  11. you can find it at publishamerica.com do a title search for"Bringing the Outdoors In" or the ISBN 978-1604412475 it's $8.99 for the soft cover, the hard cover is still over priced,in my opinion.

  19. Ghost Story

    I have no doubt what you discribed happened, BUT keep in mind that any evidence must be looked at from a non-believer point of view. If you have a picture, or sound, or other evidence that can't be explained or recreated, then it will get a second look, I wish you had taken a picture in front of and behind that one, but most folks never take 3 pictures of the same thing. Also keep in mind the walls are wood,it looks like and it will reflect any light around, as well as the IR from your camera, even with the flash off it uses it to set the focus on the camera. Whaley House has a really cool history and someday I want to get there.
  20. Ghost Story

    did you have your flash or fill flash enabled? If that light is what you're talking about, keep in mind you're shooting in daylight and light reflects around. It also could have been the the cameras IR firing so it could set the camera for the shot.Digital cameras are great but keep the IR in mind.
  21. How to stop the plane?

  22. Thompson Center lays off 66, furloughs 37 in NH ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) Rifle-maker Thompson Center Arms, one of the largest employers in Rochester, N.H., laid off 66 workers this week and furloughed another 37. Company owner Smith & Wesson said the layoffs were prompted by a drop in sales of the company's black powder hunting rifles. The cuts accounted for almost 29 percent of Thompson Center Arms' work force, bringing the number of workers at the factory to roughly 250. That's almost half of what it was just under a year ago. The company cut 80 jobs in September and 36 last March.

  25. oldie but goodie

    A woman who had been married to the same man for 20 years awoke late one night and was surprised to find he wasn't lying next to her in bed. As she came down the stairs and into the kitchen, she saw her husband seated at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, staring at the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Honey, what's wrong?" she said, holding his face in her hands. "Why are you crying like this?" He looked up at her and said, "Remember when you were 16 and your father caught us in the back seat of my car?' "Why yes dear, of course I do" she replied. "Do you remember how he shoved that shotgun in my face and told me I could either marry you or spend the next 20 years in jail?" "Yes hon, of course I do, but why are you crying about it now?" she asked him. "Because if I took the 20 years I would have been getting out today!
