If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Before Cheryl sent me this hilarious story about a childhood experiment with gun powder, I had never heard of The LawDog Files. The stories he writes are hilarious and it's been addded it to my wish-I-had-more-time-to-comb-through collection of RSS feeds.
Glad you are enjoying his stories as much as I am. I stumbled on his blog last week after stumbling on another blog that linked his (http://www.decrepitoldfool.com/). The comparison was made to Patrick McManus and so I had to check it out for myself. Very true. I sent his link to Patrick (who used to live near my parents in Idaho). Anyways, I laughed so hard I had to stop reading less I wet my pants. (Childbirth is wonderful, but I do so miss bladder control...).Anyhoo--I guess he is an officer by career. By the sounds of it, pretty darned well read as well. Definately one of those sorts I'd like to meet someday.
