  1. Went to the Bernalillo County / Sandoval County Libertarian Party of New Mexico Meetup at the Boxing Bear Brewing Co. Corrales Taproom [10200 Coors NW, ABQ, NM] tonight. Met up with some old friends, met some new people. The asada tacos were OK (but nothing special) – the sopapilla cheesecake was the best Rio Tacos had to offer.

    Deathsticks became non-canon in 2014 when The Mouse took over Lucasfilms and declared everything pre-2014 except for the movies to be basically fan-fiction.

    Resolutions almost ALWAYS have no bearing in law. They’re a way for the legislative body to have an official-looking document that basically says “Here’s what we think and what we think should (or should not) happen.”

    Just declined membership to the 175 that were left — they had thirty (30) days to fill out a questionnaire that takes all of five (5) minutes, and that’s if you’re goofing around with a bunch of other things at the same time, yet none of them could be bothered.

    I agree with Spike on this 1000 %.

    Mr. Bill the Original Weldist can lick the canine fecal matter from my shoe soles, for all I care. (I can step in a fresh pile so that there’s plenty for him.)

    As for tanks, remember that it takes at least three people to actually use it AS A TANK. Otherwise, it’s just an oversized, expensive bulldozer.

    Please do have fun changing the road wheels and track segments.

    As for nukes, I’m all for private-sector civilian possession of those, too.
