Once again, NY State is the tip of the spear for our safety. (Please note there was A LOT of sarcasm there)

Strange how they can worry about a squirrel yet treat problems with gangs so casually.

Along those lines, it's really sad that businesses in the cities are boarding up due to concern of possible election inspired violence.

Its sad but there is potential for violence. I was listening to the B.S. the media was spouting. Frankly, with the rhetoric they have been spreading they own any violence that occurs. I heard several clips claiming Trump wants reporters shot and Cheney to face a firing squad. People believe that crap and get spun up. Add that to their Nazi claims and people are either freaked out or spurred int doing dumb things Either way it's wrong.

You’re correct MB, some folks don’t know to check things on their own. The Gooberment (and yeah the leftest media) has created an entire voting generation of people who have been taught TO NOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES. Alas, to “THEM”, Orwell’s 1984 is a training manual.

Good morning Yard. Well, today is the big day, and I hope that enough people vote the RIGHT way, along with the electoral college. Our nation depends on it.

Good morning, Yard.

Hunkered down in the bunker with enough food, water, snacks and coffee for months.

Survival compound at Ray’s. Since he’s got the food water and coffee covered, just being guns and ammo. Thanks for the invite Ray.

Afternoon Yard!

I got my hearing retested and My hearing oss was bad but its now really bad. I was able to pay for some new hearing aids and it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I will say the pair I "test drove" were pretty decent. I had a chuckle because the guy doing the test was shocked about my hearing. He didn't read my file but he knew it wasn't a natural or normal loss.

They should do me for a few more years. If my hearing goes the way it is I'm not going to have much left by the time I hit 70. I guess I'll enjoy it while I can.

Protect your hearing as best you can M/B, take it from me. My hearing has gotten worse over the years and I occasionally use my Phonak hearing aids. The General says I should use them ALL the time.

I'm very protective of my hearing. At least what little I have left. I have had hearing aids since I was 45. I have probably needed them for much longer than that. Gunfire, concussions, and explosions tend to do that. I am missing out on a lot because I can't hear half of what people say unless I'm looking at their face. Since I'm trying to learn some stuff the lectures are great but hearing the discussions that take place is a struggle. Plus I'm sure I drive my wife nuts with the TV volume.

I haven't worn my hearing aids much for the past year. I lost one and they can be pricey. Thankfully these were actually about $1,000 less than my 9 year old pair. I know these are much better for the current state of my ears. Probably a better price since I don't want all the fancy whizzy gidgets to go with them. I just want to be able to have a conversation that I don't have to be within 3 feet and looking directly at somebody.
