If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep.

If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf.

But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a WARRIOR, someone who is walking the hero's path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed

Colonel David Grossman

guess I'm a sheepdog......

man,I'm getting ready for spring......it can get here ANYTIME now......lows of minus 5 to minus 10 last night after work

and theres STILL mountains of snow at my house......but,its supposed to be mid 30s by the end of this week,and 40s next week.....PLEASE hurry up......

the wife and I were batting around some ideas on how to spruce up the front of our house,and we were also trying to decide if we needed to switch out our toilets.Well,we looked at some flyers for local building supply stores-a new toilet at Menards is 75 clams-well,that plus some penzoil stickers,a few bags of potting soil,and a pack of seeds-and VOILA-the PERFECT lawn statuary

Ok,I confess-I'm a redneck....

Well,we FINALLY got a real snowstorm here in Wisconsin-it has'nt been much of a winter,snow wise so far-but we're REALLY getting hammered now!

Some parts of the state are expecting up to 24 inches -we're not getting it THAT bad in my area,but we're getting enough.I shoveled out last night,took a few hours-and its snowing AGAIN.....but,on the bright side its already 32 degrees out,so should start melting off today
