MY WIFE IS AWESOME!!

It was a cold, cloudy day as he left the correctional facility where he'd worked for the past two years. The stars and stripes flapped fitfully from the flagpole in the parking lot. Was it the icy January wind or a deep sense of patriotism that brought a solitary tear to his eye? He didn't know. He had one thing on his mind...a shopping list. He had two stops to make on his way home; two items of monumental and competing importance. He had to buy an assault rifle and he had to buy a toilet...



What a great start for my first post to our blog, right? Actually that was my drive home today.

We have a new house with plenty of room for food storage. We've started on that and I think it put Heather in survival mode...or she just wants to keep our food protected from marauding bands of miscreants and malcontents. She told me the other day that we should probably stock up on bullets. After I scraped my jaw off the floor I explained that I only had a small lever action hunting rifle and a handgun in so-so shape. She suggested I consider something a little more intimidating (Wow! Gush! etc) I shopped around and found this:





I ordered the gun and made a down payment today. It'll take about 6 months for it to arrive so it will make a perfect birthday present. I hope it's not illegal to own one by then. Heather also mentioned that I should get a gunsafe to keep my fledgling arsenal from falling into the wrong hands. It's just another reason to love her. Lucky me!
