My favorite place in Texas is the Big bend area. Oregon is still on my list of places to go and stay for a while. Probably won't live that long. Still trying to explore Utah.
Nutjobs intent on violence are all dangerous. This discussion kinda reminds me of the General in the movie Dr. Strangelove that was convinced,"They" were trying to steal His precious body fluids. Crazy is crazy.
Hope no one like that guy has a finger on the button. </div></div>
I'm partial to swamp-ass SE Texas, mostly just because it's what I'm familiar with
. After a while the sound of the cicadas and tree frogs go from annoying to background.
If you ever find yourself in Oregon look me up I'll buy you a beer. It's a gorgeous place with a lot to offer a visitor, and generally pretty respectable hospitality. Utah is pretty incredible as well I've driven down there a few times. Incredible shooting spots out there as well, although the altitude definitely challenged me.
Violence is the real ill, and I think we definitely both agree that we're thankful there are people out there risking themselves to stem the outpour that comes from all the crazy in this world.
I know that anytime a police sniper takes down some raving douchebag lunatic no matter the ideology it sends the kind of message I can get behind. That in our society the innocent will be protected, and that's something to be proud of.
