Coming soon - guns at pools in Charleston, West Virginia

It appears as if the city of Charleston, West Virginia is going to see some modest gun restrictions of theirs rolled back, including the ban of guns at city pools. 

I'm not sure whether I feel this is worse or not as bad as the lifting of gun restrictions at bars in some states. With regard to bars, I don't think it's a wise move to mix firearms with alcohol. However, bars are typically full of adults, whereas pools are typically occupied largely by youngsters. It's safe to say I think both are bad ideas. The lifting of this very restriction in Charleston could make for some interesting signs by the pools and rules given by kids' parents...

Signs

"NO DIVING WITH GUNS"

"DON'T BREASTSTROKE WITH GUNS"

"LIFEGUARDS ARE NOT TARGET PRACTICE"


Parents' rules

- "Stay away from that man with the big gun."

- "Never close your eyes."

- "Wear your floaties, helmet, and bulletproof vest."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
