It is a little late for me to be getting started but I had to spite the cat a little.

He's been getting a bit too feisty lately. He used to wait until I was at least awake before he started telling me to feed him and now he's starting to wake me up. 

It'll take a few days but when he wakes me I just stay in bed an extra hour to let him know he's not going to get too far with that crap. 

It's warm this morning and thawing which isn't a bad thing at all. In a few minutes I'll go out and tend to the driveway and get the packed down snow out of the way before it turns to ice.

I just got word that Beretta is moving out of Maryland and into Tennessee taking their jobs with them. Prince George's county is likely going to be hit pretty hard by the move.

Tennessee will get stronger.

Actions have consequences and the people in Annapolis that run the state most likely thought they could get away with enacting draconian gun laws with impunity.

What a lot of people don't know is that the firearm industry, coupled with the rest of the things that go with it are a lot bigger than General Motors.

When GM needed a bailout the government came running and afterwards bragged about saving all of the General Motors jobs.

Yet the liberal faction wants to eliminate the entire firearms business. Suppose they do. Who is going to feed these displaced workers? A lot of them will go straight to the government and go on relief. 

Of course unlike GM the firearms business is all over the country. The Remington plant in Ilion, NY as fairly large, making different types of firearms. It's a big employer there in NY.

On the other hand, Shiloh Sharps builds blackpowder arms somewhere up in Big Timber, Montana. They''re a fairly small specialty shop.

Personally I think it's going to be interesting to see what happens in Prince George's county. My guess is that it will keep going down the tubes until it becomes yet another cesspool that Annapolis has to shore up at the expense of more successful counties.

  1. Newflash for you...PG County, MD entered the trash heap in the late 90's and has gone steadily downhill since. Between the corrupt politicians, empty office buildings, and cops worse than LAPD nobody in their right mind wants to move there. Hell, Rt. 210 (Indian Head Hwy) has potholes/bumps that have not been repaired in 5+ yrs. 25% of Maryland's traffic accidents/fatalities happen in PG county yearly!
