(Sommers staff - suggest replacing the existing text submitted by Jim Haggart Aug 10, 2016 with this) Submitted by Jim Haggart and Dave Karthauser, June 17, 2017 Troop 68 of Arlington, Texas (Longhorn Council). Scoutmaster: Dave Karthauser Back row: Joe Miller, guide; Steve Smith, probably crew leader; John Pitstick; Dave Karthauser; Unknown Middle row: Kevin Grant; Robert Rau; Mike Hill; Unknown Front row: Jim Haggart (Dallas, TX); Ron Pricket; David Karthauser, son of Dave; Bill Loflin We traveled from Arlington to Ely on a bus with our sister crew, as well as some boys who were too young for the Sommers trip and who went on an independent trip with another outfitter. Our crew attempted to do the “Hunter’s Island” circuit, but had to head south once we got to Shelley Lake, at the northern tip of the circuit, as we were running out of time. When we were camped at Agnes Lake later in the trip, Dave got everyone up at 2 in the morning to look at the full moon. He then told everyone that there was plenty of light, so we might as well break camp and get going down Agnes Lake, as it was going to be a long day. There was lots of grumbling, but we did it nonetheless. Then, early in the morning we were paddling across a glassy Agnes with the fog sitting right on the water and the sun just above. In the early afternoon, we took a break for a couple of hours and then the wind came up, producing 3' waves. Dave reminded everyone that if we had slept in that morning until the normal time, we would have been battling the waves on Agnes that much longer!

Agincourt, Trafalgar, Waterloo... you don’t have to be a learned scholar of our island history to know that, over the centuries, Britain’s entente with France has not always been cordiale.
Indeed, even in the recent years of firm (but wary) friendship, our two nations have often gone their divergent ways.
Leave aside the painful day in 1940, after France’s armistice with Hitler, when the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet.
Think instead of France’s refusal to back us in the Falklands or (no matter how justifiably) Iraq. Or consider the 43 years, which ended only 19 months ago, during which the French rejected Nato.
Yet today, David Cameron and President Nicolas Sarkozy are to declare a new era of Anglo-French defence collaboration which will make independent action by either nation all but impossible.
Even at a time when it’s vital to save money, how can this be wise?
True, those who feel deeply uneasy about depending on France will be accused of living in the past. But it’s the future that worries the Mail.
Though Mr Cameron and M. Sarkozy may get along, where will Britain be left if we have to plead with a future French Socialist Government for the use of an aircraft carrier to defend our interests?
And how can the Tories, who rightly opposed plans for a European army, even consider handing operational control of the SAS to France?
Mr Cameron said yesterday: ‘The point is to enhance sovereign capability by two like-minded countries.’
We may be like-minded today, Prime Minister. But what about tomorrow?
A disingenuous gameSacked last year for attacking tougher controls on cannabis, the aptly-named Professor David Nutt tries a new approach to pushing his soft line on illegal drugs.
With fellow liberal campaigners, the former government drugs adviser publishes research — based on his own formula — purporting to prove that all illicit drugs, heroin included, are much less harmful than alcohol.
Let’s be clear. For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse — and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions.
But Professor Nutt is clearly pursuing a different agenda when he plays up the dangers of alcohol — preposterously suggesting that it should be classified as a Class A drug.
Isn’t his chief purpose to play down the harm done by illegal drugs such as cannabis and cocaine — just as he did last year, when he announced that ecstasy was less dangerous than horse-riding?
If he had experience of rundown estates, where girls sell their bodies for a fix of crack, would he be so blase about drug abuse?
Of course, Professor Nutt is entitled to his opinions. But when he dresses them up as science, he is playing a disingenuous and dangerous game.
Equality of failure
In the name of equality, Chief Schools Adjudicator Dr Ian Craig condemns faith schools for favouring families involved in church activities.
There’s a danger, he says, that they may be (shock, horror!) middle class.
Meanwhile, he warns that specialist music schools may be breaking the law by accepting gifted musicians according to their ‘ability’, rather than their ‘aptitude’.
In short, he won’t rest until all children, equally, are denied places at the schools that suit them best.
"the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet."
Another betrayal from the British: killing 1,297 french soldiers for no reason and you dare to claim it was "obliged" to do so?
Appalling revisionnism from an appalling tabloid.

If not for this action , the French fleet would have been taken over and crewed by Germans, we may not have won the war and you could still be under Nazi occupation!!! please remember the traitors of the vichey who sided with the Germans killed more of your own countrymen than this reluctant action.

"For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse - and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions."
Why not campign for a ban? The Mail constantly spreads propoganda to convince people that cannabis should be illegal, when it causes 0 deaths a year. But when it comes to the 10,000+ deaths a year that alcohol causes, you just want tighter rules, and no 24-hour licenses.
So to recap, the Mail's stance is:
0 deaths - keep it illegal
10,000+ deaths - keep it legal

We must also remember that they mutinied at Sedan and our Commanders said that we would draw rhe germans off by starting the Somme offensive where we lost so many of our troops.
As a Sovereign Nation we should always retain command of our troops and Cameron will learn this at his and our peril.

How can this work if the French have truly independent nuclear capability and Britain must go cap in hand to the US in order to use its nuclear warheads? Politicians do love their little games.

Would prof Nutt be so blase about drug abuse if he witnessed girls selling their bodies for crack? What sort of stupid, biased, uninformed and bigoted question is that??!
Shame on you, Daily Mail. Irresponsible, over-emotional and totally inaccurate rhetoric. Get real please.

Our annual September visit to Newcastle.
After such a great couple of nights at Rusty's Showbar earlier in the year, our first night was spent in there.
First off though, we had a trip to Redhouse for delicious pie.
Then on to Rusty's Showbar with Jane, Joanne and Steph and Ellie, and we also met the lovely Lei.
Some cracking drag acts on too.
Any comments and favs are very much appreciated

maique: unreal. hummers in dili is just something i was not expecting. at all.
dkoder: @maique it's the same old story all round, i remember a few years ago in 2002 when i went to Albania (used to be one of the poorest countries in the world according to the UN) and seeing (counted) 7 huge Porsche Cayenne in Tirana.... the poorer and undeveloped the country, more money to be made and exploited...
maique: @dkoder sure. but this country is filthy rich. and filthy is the right word.
dkoder: @maique of course it is, loaded with a few million barrels of oil... but who's benefiting from it? Angola is one of the richest countries too blessed with even more natural resources ... same story again.
maique: @dkoder same same

COMMENT. SAY THANKS.
don't just jack it and re-post.
it's called common courtesy, people.
and it means more free rares.
+ a few in comments, took these on a walkie i went on with the doggies. (okay, a lot more in comments, i couldn't decide, decide for me?)
had such a FUSTRATING day!! first of all, got dragged into college at NINE O CLOCK this morning so my friend wouldn't have to be on her own before her tutor thingy, then that was cancelled. Then I had a double lesson which got CANCELLED!! again. With no warning, then it was pouring down, like proper rain rain and i got soaked, sat on a wall and got some disgusting brown stuff on my shorts. :( So I was like fuck this and came home for a bit, i had to get the bus and it was quite nice because this old man sat next to me, okay that sounds so weird, but wait, he was quite groovy. LOL. Was wearing a green tweed jacket a trilby, horn rimmed glasses and had a gold bird earring, then he started talking to me about 'poison' in the air and how he LOVES Brighton because its so diverse and everyone dresses differently and everyone is a bit crazy so yeah, i chatted with him till my stop where i said 'thanks for the chat, it was very nice' and he said 'and you, have a great day'. and off i went. things like that MAKE my LIFE
So, anyway, then I went back to college for maths. (DULL). My teacher made some Lame jokes, I told him he should have his own programme (it would be a tragedy) and then I went home again. On the bus this time, a man read my work over my sholder YES I CAN SEE YOU IDIOT!! and a woman coughed so yuckily I nearly moved and two dogs had a fight.
Life, eh?

I find cars with many bumper stickers interesting and try to check out as many as I can. I'm usually behind them in traffic so there isn't much time. In any case, I've acquired enough photos now to start a new collection which I hope you'll enjoy.
Please note that I'm not encouraging comments about the political or religious content of the stickers. That could quickly get into nasty arguments and I don't need that aggravation. We live in a country where people can put this stuff on the back of their cars. Let's simply revel in that.
Finally, I've loaded larger-than-usual versions of the pictures so that you can give these works of art the detailed inspection that they deserve.
