Tonight has been a rather somber evening in my neighborhood of (the usually very quiet) Greenacres. It seems as though the Jeep that killed the local boy, 14-year-old Rick Gomez, was found at a house of a young couple who lives across the street from me. Rick Gomez was struck this last weekend about a half mile away from our neighborhood, right down the street. He was killed by the collision and the Jeep fled the scene. The couple who own the jeep, are in their mid twenties and actually have children of their own. I pray for both of these families but especially for the Gomez family. May their son and brother be greeted by God in paradise.

I took a few photos tonight and spoke with some of my neighbors and news crews. This event is quiet shocking to us all.

I realized my links were dead on the Media Page. I fixed them and added the ever so popular “Grouse Hunting” vid.

Today the NFL and NFL fans mourn the loss of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor.

“The 24-year-old player died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting early Monday, family friend Richard Sharpstein said. Sharpstein said Taylor’s father informed him of the death at about 5:30 a.m. His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me,” said Sharpstein, Taylor’s former lawyer. “It’s a tremendously sad and unnecessary event. He was a wonderful, humble, talented young man, and had a huge life in front of him. Obviously God had other plans. Sharpstein said Taylor’s girlfriend told him the couple was awakened by loud noises, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for protection. Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots, one missing and one hitting Taylor, Sharpstein said. Taylor’s 1-year-old daughter, Jackie, was also in the house, but neither she nor Taylor’s girlfriend was injured. Police found signs of forced entry, but have not determined if they were caused Monday or during the previous burglary.” (From Breitbart.com)

I am a Seahawks fan, but I also root for the Redskins when they play. Sean Taylor was having the best year of his short career and his team and family will miss him dearly. This is a perfect example of why it is important to be able to exersize your right to keep and bear arms for self defense purposes. You have heard the saying, “Like bringing a knife to a gunfight” right? This is exactly what happened. You cannot defend yourself with a machete. The bad guys have guns. The world is filled with evil people who don’t think twice about taking everything you have, including your life.

We pray for Sean’s family and may he rest in peace.

I recently decided that the “Ron Paul Revolution” was so intriguing I had to do my own research. So I challenged myself to learn more about him and his loyal supporters. I attended a Ron Paul meetup tonight in Coeur d’Alene and rubbed elbows with some folks. It was very interesting. The people were great and what struck me most about them was their dedication to the principles that Ron Paul stands for. They spoke with conviction and passion about their candidate. I was truly impressed.

After doing my homework I understand why so many people are joining this on-fire, grassroots movement.

Ted Kennedy:

We’ll miss him in Massachusetts, but he’ll be a strong leader at ATF, and I look forward to working with him on key issues on gun control

He’s referencing the acting head of ATF, Michael Sullivan.

In honor of “Green Week” I thought I would post a quote from the founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman:.

“It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming…”
