Are we done with the rain? I sure hope so. The all guys camping trip is next weekend up above Lake Don Pedro and so far the forecast is good. There should be lots of green grass, so the fireworks show should be ON.

Interesting. I thought Arizona was constitutional carry. Oh well.
In other news the scooter arrived!! Less than an hour ago. I am a happy camper. Already called and left a voicemail for the repair guy to come get his loaner and bring the mirrors and scooter lift attachment. I have transferred everything over except for one mirror and the attachment. Looks the same as my old one and it is blue! I pray this one will last a good long time and not require work every other month.

The states colored green are Constitutional Carry States. The blue states require a firearms permit.

The United Football League was on tonight. I didn't watch it. I guess I'm not a football fan. I just like NFL.


I had leftovers. A few pieces of assorted items from meals past. Stuff like 2 pieces of chicken tenders from the kids' afterschool snack. Every time I eat leftovers, I think of the classic film Parents. The poor kid in the movie ate leftovers every day.

California is not open carry. Concealed carry with a permit. And some counties, like San Diego make it almost impossible to get a concealed permit. Fresno Sheriff is pro 2a so it is not a hassle to get approved. I pray that next year I will not have such a problem getting enough shots inside the target like I did last year. LOL

In some counties, the police chief and sheriff just don't sign the applications. You can apply. Then the application just sits there. You never get the permit. There's no legal timeline for them to approve or deny it.
