I'm in awe...

Man, I wish I could let loose like that...

More semantics

Deputy fired 30 shots from rifle in killing 6, officials say

CRANDON, Wisconsin (CNN) -- An off-duty sheriff's deputy used a police-style AR-15 rifle to kill six people at an early morning party in a small Wisconsin town, officials said Monday.

........

Peterson left and got a police-style AR-15 rifle from his truck, forced his way back into the apartment and fired about 30 rounds ...

Um, a "police-style AR-15 rifle" ???? Is that the same thing as an "assault rifle" or is it just an "assault rifle" when somebody other than a cop flips out and empties a mag at a bunch of partygoers?

Just askin'.

I mean, hey - maybe it had a 14.5 inch barrel. Maybe it was actually select-fire.

But I doubt it.

"Police-style AR-15"? "Assault rifle"? I'm sure only a qualified journalist has the expertise to know the difference.

As the t-shirt says:

Rope. Tree. Journalist.

Some assembly required.

Chores

Today is the first day of Fall Break for me. I'd be excited, but I'm still fighting off this cold. And I've got chores to do.

The yard needs mowing in the worst way. And our lawn tractor is broken. Which means I'll be plodding along behind the push-mower, hacking, coughing, snotting and cursing for about four hours. Yay. (And by "yay", I mean "dammit".)

Other than that, I'll probably just do some light housework and lay on the couch. I'm heading off to visit the mighty HODAR tomorrow morning, so I'll have to get my stuff together sometime today.

Yay.

Ugh

Colds suck.
