Final Word on the Weather

Greetings! Hopefully the messy winter weather is behind us. What has been the best and worst for you in the two icy events here in North GA?  Don’t include school was cancelled.

Worst: We had to postpone a trip to Florida.

Best: I absolutely loved some of the fall-out related to the weather and Valentine’s Day. My favorite is the link below which tells of a GA County that cancelled Valentine’s Day per the Sherriff’s Department.

Campus Carry

The legislation to allow for firearms to be carried on Georgia college campuses has been revived. The new concept is to change the language so that is no longer illegal for eligible parties to carry firearms on a college campus.

What is your position on the idea to allow college students to carry firearms on campus?

Here is the bill:

Men Behaving Badly

The Bakken oil region of Montana and North Dakota has created many labor intensive jobs. These positions tend to go to men. In fact, so many guys show up for work “man camps” have been established to accommodate the pool of male employees.

This mass of men brought along with it drugs, heavy drinking, violence and prostitution.

Other than the default answer of testosterone, why do you think that large numbers of men in a shared space over time leads to the use of drugs, heavy drinking, violence and prostitution?
