I was just missing my Jeep yesterday, looking at cheapees on Craigslist for sale and youtube videos of off-roading.  My hatchback-city life stinks, vehicularly.


One thing about most off-roading I see online is it's all low PSI tires, crawling at 4 mph.  That bores me.  I had my 2" lift, going 50+ mph off-road going crazy.  Now THAT'S fun.  Finding isolated trails and camping spots, but exploring, not crawling.

I don't spend enough time in my truck to warrant a high end sound system or sirius radio

well, only when I drive to Texas a couple times a year

I would like a great system in the house, but I doubt my daughter's dog would appreciate it

he could go out into the yard, he has his own door

2020 is really not one of my favorite years.


I just dragged out my 9 mms and loaded magazines.

And to think most couldn't wait for 2019 to end.

Yeah, well.  I'm being cautious.  Our security night guy is first class.  He will call me if anything goes bad, and he can get to the fourth floor where no one can follow.

He has my number.

I'm trying to calm the wife down.  Not easy to do with firearms out of the safe, but we should be fine.  I may not sleep much.

Well, I didn't see any riots in Mission Viejo. Just a nice night on the lake...

Nothing happened around us apparently, some looting at Lenox Square and downtown of course had some damage including to the CFB HoF, which is "odd", to me.  I guess some looters broke stuff and carted off memorabilia, I don't know how bad the damage was, on the ground floor it looks pretty significant.

It's a nice sunny day and quiet.

They started to riot here in Houston but the HPD started arresting people and that kinda cooled things down

The reports on the condition of the HoF are fragmentary, I can't tell how much damage was done.  There isn't much on the ground floor worth taking that I can recall.  They have a small field where you can kick PATs, which is kinda fun, it was not crowded when we visited.

Hopefully, the damage is limited to the ground floor and windows.  The paper claims the police cleared it but not how fast they acted, they were on scene in large numbers.

Latest report is the looters hit the gift shop, which makes sense, and would be no particular loss.  It's weird they hit CNN Center and this place as there isn't much worth looting at either.

But, I think it starts with a gathering, then a protest, and then unsavories hear about it and sense an opportunity to destroy.  If there is a retail store there, great, if not, destroy anything.

Every case may be different don't know, but I do see that what starts out peaceful gets rowdier over time and then looting starts.  My notion is the looters seek out the protests because it provides cover for them.  I imagine some "initiators" also get involved as well.

Were I a looter, I'd want to start something - throw a bottle or rock from back in the crowd - to get the police to react and that sparks the crowd and then AHBL and I have my chance to smash and grab.
