TANJ! sigh,,,  (corrected)

for those not initiated in Heinlein Larry Niven; TANJ means ‘there ain’t no justice’,,,(Francis pointed out my faux pas and I have made the correction.  TY Francis)

No recourse through the legal channels.  Dog Catcher told Da, flat out,,, “he can have as many dogs as he can feed, no restraints or leads, and there is nothing at all I can do about it.  There are no laws on the books in KY about that.”

BUT, He also said, if we were to start shooting them, THEY had no recourse either.  So long as the shooting was off his property.   The rule there is “Menacing animal” and it has years of precedence.

Dad told me that the GF came down to his house and was gloating that ‘Dio didn’t gain a thing by calling them’,,,   Gotcha Bitch,,, I see your true colors ONCE AGAIN.   So I came home and fired off some screaming bottle rockets over their place,,, then decided that my rifles needed sighted in again.   I set up a target in the side yard (that old toilet I had replaced and hadn’t hauled off to solid waste yet) drew some bullseyes on it and went to town with both the Henry and the AR.   Nothing in her direction, but with just enough angle the cracks and booms would carry VERY WELL in her direction.   

Seeing how she has a bench warrant on her, “go ahead,  call the cops, make a complaint.   I’m the upstanding citizen in this mess, who are they gonna believe, You, the felon with a warrant for arrest, or the guy with a spot free record?”  Besides, there is no law in these parts that says I am not allowed to sight in my rifles from my porch, and I have the proof that was what I was doing.   One seriously blown apart toilet in my yard,,, and not in line with thier place from my porch,,,   (besides, my shooting reputation shows, IF, I were aiming at them, They wouldn’t be able to make a complaint,,,nuff said on that note.)

I may need to make a small investment in large fireworks this year.   some mortars and the like.   Not to do damage, but Psyops stuff.   Just a thought right now.

My biggest concern is Cosmos.   I have to go out of town next week for a few days, and I really don’t think Da would be all that keen on keeping him down there while I am gone, BUT, believe me, that conversation is going to take place and soon.    The kittehs are not so much an issue since they will only deal with me and Da, everyone else gets hidden from.  Zooms is the truly elusive one who only deals with me, no one else.   He showed his face for Da last week while I was gone, but wouldn’t let Da get within 10′ of him.   Mama lets Da pet her, and Elb’s is just a big love all around; but not to strangers, which Da is not.  Yes, I need to have that conversation with Da,,,   (and I need to pick up some ‘smile, you’re on camera’ signs for around the house.  Won’t stop serious intrusions, but may be enough to keep them from messing with my house while I am gone.   

Christ, why do people have to be total shit-heads and crap all over people that were trying to be at least civil with them, despite their reputations preceding them.     And that is exactly what they have done everywhere they have lived over the last 10 years.   They were ran out of the last town they lived in, and now here they are getting ready to be ran off this hill: by their own family no less.    W?T?F? is wrong with them?  

I’m going to stop ranting there,,, I almost lapsed into some slurs that might bring down the ban hammer on my site.   I’ll be good wordpress,,, pinky swear!   (doesn’t mean I ain’t thought it,,,,)
