Hi Dave,
RH> I don't know the setils but there was a shooting down in Raleigh this
RH> ****** (make that details) Turns out it was a
RH> case of a disgruntled employee shooting his ex boss.
DD> So off to the calaboose whilst his wife and kidlets wonder how they
DD> will pay rent and feed themselves.
No, he shot himself, survived for a few hours, then passed away. From
what I've seen in the paper/heard on the news, he was single--his
parents put out a statement.
RH> morning. Most often they're at night, and very often in the lower
RH> income sections of Durham.
DD> I'm beginning to thisk that everyone should be armed or no one should
DD> be packing. The right to keep and bear armsis enshrined in the "Bill
DD> of Rights". But moderation and responsibility are not always in plat.
DD> And, as with most "hot button" issues there are no easy answers.
RH> True, some people "freak out" when they see a weapon being carried,
RH> with no intention of it being used unless absolutly neccessary. Then
RH> there are others that think "good going" when they see it. When we
RH> visited Israel in 2009 (a seminary tour), some of the younger folks
RH> were disturbed by seeing young people their age openly carrying their
RH> military issue weapons. Didn't bother Steve and me; knew the kids were
RH> in the Israeli army and just following orders.
DD> In ranch country open carry is more common because of snakes and
DD> predatory critters that get after the livestock. And while open carry
DD> is legal in many urban areas it may get you busted for "disturbing the
DD> peqce" or ...
Depends on the urban area.
DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8
DD> America has always been a "meltiing pot" contrary to when the small-
DD> minded politicians and their sychophants would have us believe. Heck,
DD> at the root of it we're all descended from immigrasnts. Bv)=
RH> And that's what makes our nation so culinary-ily diverse. BTW, Natalie
RH> Dupree passed away Monday in Raleigh; she was considered the "Queen of
RH> Southern Cuisine" according to some food critics.
DD> I saw mention of that in several national news sources. I have
DD> severeal of her recipes. And have made more than one.
RH> send him over. AFAIK, my heritage is 100% German.
DD> I'm mastly a mongrel mix of English, Scots, and German. But
DD> All-American.
RH> And that's what makes cooking/eating so much fun across the country.
RH> The diversity of ethnic populations has made us much more culinarily
RH> richer than if we'd all had to keep to our own ethnic heritage's
RH> cooking/eating.
DD> I spent my grade school years in a small coal mining town with a lot
DD> of first and second generation immigrants. They were from the UK and
DD> Central Europe mostly. One of the kids I ran with had no vowels in
DD> nhis surname - 'Drnjvc' (pronounced Durn-a-vitch. Bv)=
I had a doctor in AZ had the surname Dwlgosh. The W was pronounced like
an E so some of the family changed the spelling to reflect that. Did you
classmates bring pierogies and such like for their lunches? I would have
gladly traded a pb&j for one of them. (G)
DD> I dunno what makes this especially "Coal Miners" but that's the
title DD> and it's on topic as well as beinf a "Burton". Bv)=
