  • Willful ignorance is the greatest sin. I’ve been saying that for a while now, not that I believe in sin.

    COVID was a real eye opener for me. Seeing how far people would go to remain ignorant.

    Stupid can’t be helped and there is nothing wrong with it. Ignorance is different and not necessarily bad, if you see that you’re ignorant about something, you can choose to educate yourself.

    However, willful ignorance is a different thing. I believe that most of society’s ills are rooted in willful ignorance and its exploitation by the evil.


  • We just bought an old farmhouse in Pennsylvania that still has 9 acres, includes a small orchard and vineyard. My girl wants chickens and rabbits. I’m thinking a couple of steers next spring when I’ve had time to get good fencing up.

    I grew up with cattle and worked on a tater farm through highschool.

    We mostly just want to produce our own meat. Venison should be much easier.

    The apple trees need a lot of TLC as does the vineyard.

    I’ll be in the market for a small tractor. As long as it is running, I should be able to fix it up and keep it going.

    I carry a LCP, (subcompact .380). I practice two hand, right hand, left hand. I also always try and shoot a magazine or two with sunglasses on at an indoor range to simulate low light conditions.

    It has like a three inch barrel, so it’s not the most accurate or easy to aim. I only shoot it at seven yards.

    It’s nasty to shoot, lot of kick. I call it the Angry Cricket. Trigger pull is heavy as it is a double action with no safety. I carry it with one in the pipe.

    Hope I never have to use it, but if I do, I will be as accurate as possible. That’s the ethical thing to do as I see it.
