Last night, after having worked all day, I received a message that the drains at one of our rentals had backed up and filled the sinks with very stinky black sludge filled water. So much for a quite dinner at home.
I got in the truck (skipping dinner) and drove over there. The plumber arrived shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, the plumber accidentally flooded the kitchen while trying the clear the drains. No big deal. He got the water cleaned up and went back to work.
Four hours later the plumbing issue was resolved, and the mess cleaned up. It was 10:30PM. Since the cabinets and flooring had gotten wet, I needed to air things out. I drove back home, grabbed the water damage drying fans out of the shop and drove back. It's about a 30 minute drive each way. By the time I got the fans set up and drove home it was well after midnight. I was tired.
This may seem like a big pain in the rump, but here's what you don't know. We're leaving next week to spend the next two or three weeks at our place in Arizona. God blessed us tremendously last night. He made sure that this issue happened this week while I was here to deal with it. Had it happened next week, I would have been over 500 miles away at an off-grid property in the White Mountains.
Thank you, Lord. What a blessing!
In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
Apparently, the shooter randomly shot nine people before a police officer gave him a much-needed lead injection. According to the news story, the suspect, who survived being shot by police (at least so far) has “a prior conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
Three questions:
1. This joker has a violent criminal history. Why was he in possession of a firearm?
2. Why isn't Tucson Mayor Regina Romero (D) concerned about the answer to Question 1?
3. When will anti-gun politicians stop using tragedies like this to push for more gun control, which she did?
Actually, that last question answers itself.
At Lucille’s Bar & Grill, an armed citizen stopped a man who was allegedly threatening people with a knife. The attacker was shot and killed; no other injuries reported.
What I find most interest is the presence of an off-duty police officer who apparently did nothing. Thank God for the armed citizen.
"Skippy, you're not afraid of the outsider. You're afraid to hope. Giving in to fear is easy. You just accept there's nothing you can do, doom is inevitable, and there's no point in making any effort. If you dare to hope, then you risk your hopes getting crushed."
— Craig Alanson’s fictional character, Major General Joe Bishop (Expeditionary Force)
