Okay......

It's gone now......

CQ..... CQ..... CQ...... over.....

There....... No, it's gone.

I'm agreeing with you, Ed. I just think the term "redneck", which you introduced into the conversation, is an inapt descriptor. People other than so-called rednecks revere, observe, study and use the outdoors. I'm one of them. So is Pat. Moreover, the term redneck has certain negative connotations that sort of prejudice a conversation or a point of view. That's all I'm saying.

Agreed!

Peace, mang.

Can we agree that Boreas is a wordy sumbitch with a thesaurus stuck.... well, you get the picture?

BTW I spend a goodly amount of time over at AK, too.

You would be a redneck if:

You need one more hole punched in your card to get a freebie at the House of Tattoos.

You need an estimate from your barber before you get a haircut.

The biggest fashion risk you take is which plaid you'll wear to the 4-H Fair.

You have flowers planted in a bathroom appliance in your front yard.

Your wife weighs more then your refrigerator.

You move your refrigerator and the grass underneath it has turned yellow.

You mow your lawn and find a car.

You can spit without opening your mouth.

Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night involves putting on shoes and a jacket and grabbing a flashlight.

You go Christmas shopping for your mom, sister, and girlfriend, and you only need to buy one gift.

Taking a dip has nothing to do with water.

There are more than ten lawsuits currently pending against your dog.

You take a fishing pole to Sea World.

The hood and one door are a different color from the rest of your car.

You've ever filled your deer tag on the golf course.

You've ever shot somebody over a mall parking space.

Santa Claus refuses to let your kids sit in his lap.

Your toilet paper has page numbers on it.

You think mud rasslin' should be an Olympic sport.

The receptionist checks the rat traps at your place of business.

More than one living relative is named after a Southern Civil War general.

You think the stock market has a fence around it.

Tragedy of the Commons...

Georgia Pacific owned forests are not stripped bare. Lands under the US forest Service are. More Americans trust the Nature Conservancy to manage land held in common than the US Forest Service or BLM.

Go figure..

AGWarming is highly overrated. To start with -- reducing the science of climatology to one silly-ass number like "Global Mean Surface Temperature" demeans the complexity of the problem. We were farther ahead in understanding the climate driving influences when we studied individidual climate drivers like the Atlantic MultiDecadenal Oscillation and the Total Solar Irradiance and understood that the Earth has MULTIPLE climate zones that all react differently to the same amount of increased radiative forcing. Just like the Arctic response we see today.

Attempts to pkg this pitch for mass consumption by using GLOBAL numbers and GLOBAL models are just mucking up the science.

"Redneck" may have negative connotations among those who aren't, but it's a lot like the "N" word- there's nothing negative about it amongst those who is.

You know why I love redneck jokes?

Because there is truth in humor.
