Agricultural Totty

Entertainment, Gratuitous Chick Pics

Apparently, there’s this Brit TV show called Our Yorkshire Farm, starring the matriarch thereof, Amanda Owens (45+).  I use the “matriarch” term advisedly, as she has foaled no fewer than nine chilluns (!!!) while working the sheep farm.

Here she is:

When not in farm gear, she doesn’t look too bad, either:

When asked how she still manages to look so good, she apparently replied, “chasing lambs, fakery and underwear” (which automatically endeared her to me, by the way).

She and her husband have split up, incidentally, but she still works the farm with him.

Gratuitous Gun Pic: Volquartsen Scorpion (.22 Win Mag)

Gratuitous Gun Pics

Just when I thought I was getting too old for gun lust, this damn thing comes along at, of course, Collectors:

It’s a little too “operator” for my taste, but every millimeter of this Volquartsen Scorpion just exudes quality and accuracy.  I didn’t even know they made semi-auto pistols anymore.

And yes, .22 Win Mag is too expensive to shoot, blah blah blah.  Don’t care, because I have well over 1,000 rounds lurking in Ye Olde Ammoe Locquere, and I’ll never shoot it all with just a bolt-action rifle.

Want.

Street Takeovers

Crime, Good Stuff, Law and Order

Reader Mike L. sends me this heartening news:

Dangerous street takeovers are happening more and more often in Oklahoma City and across the nation, which is why an updated city ordinance is cracking down on large groups of people who illegally block intersections, roads, or parking lots. Street takeovers can include street racing, or can simply involve participants using their vehicles to block intersections while they take over the area with friends.

Not only do illegal takeovers increase crime, they also block medical responders during emergencies.

The updated ordinance includes vehicles being impounded for 90 days, while participants can be jailed for 60 days, as well as face fines of more than $2,000.

My only suggestion is that the towed cars are taken not to impound lots, but straight to scrapyards where the car crushers are waiting.  To paraphrase Samuel Johnson:  nothing concentrates the mind more than an imminent crushing.

And the fine takes away the deposit for a replacement.
