northern Florida has a winter? Well, this year and last we do. Lots of below freezing nights, and sometimes it doesn't get above 50 during the day.

Laffin'...you mean your expansive library has nothing in re all the law enforcement agencies in Montana,including SWAT teams??
Man, what's in your library anways?, "One Fish-Two-Fish" and "Politics for Dummies"? been a couple of times where a sheriff or a sheriffs deputy got shot at and when he called out on the radio for help the local farmers who all have radios so they know to come help their neighbors for grass fires showed up rifles in hand to help out the officer.....we dont need no stinking SWAT teams couple Louisiana guys that turned up a couple counties over and found out its a piss poor idea to not surrender when a sheriff has 12 ranchers backing him up....dumb [bleep] decided to shoot again.....forget how many holes the coroner counted in their bodies..... I have no idea of what Bob is saying. I'm glad you could translate.

Some comments. Rattler, the greatest weapon a GSP has is it's gas discharge. My former brother-in-law had one and talk about toxic gas. People were dying every where. Montana doesn't have a state police. We have a highway patrol, thankfully. Hawk, you are welcome to move to Montana. We are a whole lot colder than where you are but the living is safer. Thanks, Derby. I can hardly tolerate the cold winters we have here in Northern Florida, though. As for the smell of dog farts, it all depends on what you feed them. Cheap food makes for bad smelling farts. I don't think it matters what you feed a GSP. My former BIL tried every food under and over the sun and it made no difference except how deadly the gas. I think the GSP was the first gas dispenser in WWI.

GTC I just related what my neighbor told me. I wondered the same thing. Could be cops were speculating. Maybe it's a common MO. Who knows.

About 12 yrs ago me and my buddy happened to be passing by his dad's house (his dad had just passed away), only to find a couple of "brothers" helping themselves to some of his stuff. We caught one of them trying to leave through the window, and were able to track the other guy down and drag (I mean drag) him back to the house where his friend was. We were able to handle the situation rather convincingly ourselves. We did call the sheriff (we knew him). He "ran a few errands" before showing up, knowing we had the situation well in hand. By the time he got there the two bloodied "brothers" were begging for him to take them. I'm too old to handle things like that anymore, but it worked very effectively that time. No problems since. Resisting arrest, were they? They didn't think the (unloaded, but unbeknownst to them at the time) Marlin 30-30 stuck 3 inches up their nose was near as much fun as we did.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Concerning the break-in, too much stuff like that is why I don't live in a certain part of town anymore. A cousin acts like I committed a crime because of where I moved to (no crime to speak of).

Hawk you are welcome to move here. Here is a house Bob was salivating over a few years back. It's in the county seat of the county just east of me. We shop in this town quite a bit. Lots of history there and things to do. Eighty miles to Kansas City with an international airport, pro sports teams, two Bass Pro Shops and a Cabela's. Maybe 120 miles to the original BPS in Springfield, MO. Ozarks start at your doorstep. Cowboys at your doorstep to the west. Even a frontier fort in town. http://www.homefinder.com/KS/Fort_Scott/55113898d_802_Crawford_St ![[Linked Image]](http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m8/kiddglock/FortScottApr080159.jpg)

Built in 1887, six years before my Grandpa was born. He and his Uncle road down to Fort Scott to go to the Bourbon County Fair one time. I have his saddle.

That's a 650K plus home around these parts. Reminds me of the old neighborhhod homes in the Lewes Deleware seashore areas.

That was in April of '08. April ain't the best time to photo houses around here. Summer makes the yards look much better. Fall with the colors looks pretty good that far east. Winter with snow on the ground would've been great.
