Wisher, I've read that before it is awesome, thank you for all you do.

Bama great point

Off to the "big city" for the little guy to have surgery... Thank you all for your support. It is a iniguise hernia ( how ever its spelled )

Praying that it goes well!

LOVE this Johnny Cash song, but there's one thing that is confusing about it: If you shot a man in Reno, Nevada, why are you in prison in Folsom, California, for it?

Change of venue.

The problem still remains.

Kid update: it was testicular torsion that ( we are so lucky ) corrected on its own! Crazy....

So glad he's okay, could only imagine how scary that must have been.

I do the hanging by the feet thing, too. Have an old oak tree.... So Tom Dooley. I've found that disposable scalpels are great! 1 per bird does a clean throat slice and then processing before the blade starts sawing a lot.

I am liking that whole idea of disposable... I need to know its done cleanly every time... Not antiseptic clean but clean as in as little pain as possible. The site I shared has knifes that are fold-able and have those surgical blades in them as well. Folding is good for me because I drop stuff occasionally.

As some of you may know, I keep my teeth firmly on my tongue when it comes to the media's coverage of law enforcement. I know that bitterness is destructive to my ideals. It has become increasingly difficult for me to do so, and at times, I slip. This topic is deeply embedded in my heart and I seethe when people, mostly in the media, ramble on about things they know nothing about, intentionally inciting others (who also have no personal knowledge) to anger over perceived injustices. I know my job is sometimes ugly. Hard decisions have to be made in a split second, and then they are second guessed, with clear hindsight, ad nauseum.

I will retire soon, not because I am fed up with the job, but because I feel that if I am willing to risk my life when you are attacked physically, I should be able to expect the same when my attack happens in the media.

Today, I found a post on FB that does a pretty good job of voicing how I, and countless other good men and women in my profession, are beginning to feel. Who will do our jobs when we decide it will not be worth it tomorrow?

I haven't read the link yet.... But I feel for you and all Law enforcement.... I am a firm believer in innocent until proved.... and I absolutely HATE doing trial by public opinion.... Nancy Grace comes to mind. But the press are a bunch of idiots. It used to be Who What Where When Why... NO editorial... then in those days the editorials were reserved for the editors and an Opinion piece....

Now they are all full of opinion, speculation, spin doctoring, and Bottom line... "selling news" was a bad idea out of all bad ideas....

deb "off to go read"

read it now and i am crying.... I dont feel any of those things toward the police....
