make sure all are sighted in, just in case. I think the forest is still closed off due to fire restrictions so I may have to do it at the shop. No idea what is going to happen Tuesday and Wednesday so we will both be carrying more than our normal one sidearm in our vehicles. The craziness has already started as BLM has a big "peaceful protest" scheduled for Phoenix tomorrow and Monday. That may spill over into outlying areas and even though we are 140 miles from Phoenix it pays to be prepared.
Stay safe Gary.

I personally think racism is almost dead.

Being a child of the 60’s I actually saw some of the last true displays of real, honest, racism. Even today the memory shocks me. I’m proud of the hillbilly’s and rednecks showing restraint. They would mostly help anyone acting like a human being, regardless of their race, looks, or creed. As long as these felonious crazies stay clear of the defined lines in the sand it will be cool. However if the handlers command an expansion of their directive it might light the fuse! I pray that is not part of the plan.
I had a big discussion with the utility staff Friday, reviewing our ERP. Written plans of action to be followed. Not to engage, contact authorities (complete with varied numbers), but to defend themselves and coworkers if forced. We can’t have guns at work, but they are capable. Crazy times we were forced to review the possibilities and dust off plans of action. We have to keep things going.
RACISM IN THE SOUTH

Jack Pender was a good friend of both Jim Taylor and I. He was redneck through and through and lived in Savanna Georgia. He was self-employed as an architect. I was visiting him sometime around 1990 and we were traveling around the city with the goal of going to the Crystal Beer Parlor for lunch. This was a black run restaurant and you had to go down an alley to enter the back door. All they served to eat was chili and hamburgers and both were the best you could get anywhere in the world. When you entered the door you were treated to a huge picture of Satchel Paige seated on a bench in the Indians dug out with his huge feet facing forward. This particular day our lunch was postponed as we ran into a black lady whose car had broken down. Jack, a redneck mind you, spent several hours chauffeuring this lady around town so she could get her chores done and make arrangements to fix her car. I don't know if all southern rednecks work this way but for Jack she was simply a woman in need. Jim and I love that old boy and both still miss him!
Amen John!

Racism would have stopped long ago if not for Jesse Jackson

Et al who make a living off of promoting it.
My grandfather was once visited by the klan.

It was probably 70 years ago. They stopped by one Saturday night in full dresses and hoods with torches burning. It seemed that his kindness towards the black community was not appreciated by some of the white folks in this rural Louisiana town. He stepped outside with his wife and small son and his pistol hidden behind him. And said, “we are a Christian family and serve the Lord wherever he sends us. You can burn this house and all we own and I will not stop you. But if you touch my family some of you will die. “. And then he started naming the names of the ones he new where in the group. They left without harming them or property.
My grandfather was a gospel singer and led the music at his church. He also helped with sermons as needed. The next morning the pastor was ill and asked him to preach. He did so on the 2 most important commandments according to Christ. 1.Love the Lord 2. Love your neighbor.
I miss that old man.
He sounds like a real man! Thanks for sharing.

Just like sexism. Same reason we don't have a flat tax. Politicians have to have a way to keep people stirred up and pit them against each other.
Everything is about feelings these days. Said when Politicians and Hollywood has to explain to idiots what should hurt their feelings.
