Whenever I'm having a bad day or just need a good laugh, I like to visit http://www.fmylife.com/ and read the stories on there. Never fails to cheer me up. You're welcome :)

From Oleg, THR is now at thehighroad.us.

Welcome to the new home of The High Road(tm) forum.

My name is Oleg Volk, and I am the owner of The High Road(tm). When I started
the forum in 2002, my vision was to create a place where people from around the
world could engage in cordial discussion of RKBA related matters. Since then,
you have helped make The High Road(tm) one of the best places on the web for
learning about firearms, for educating new shooters and for supporting effective
advocacy of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Due to pending legal issues, I am moving the forum to a new home at
TheHighRoad.us. This is the one and only official site at this time, owned by
me. The same high standards of civility apply. In the near future, we will
provide more than just a forum. The High Road(tm) is becoming an information and
activism center for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

With the help of GeoVario, our new host, The High Road(tm) is now online in its
new home. The new location of The High Road(tm) -- http://www.thehighroad.us --
will serve our members while the conversion of the .org domain name by THR's
former sysadmin is being challenged in court (Copy of the complaint available:
http://www.geovario.com/legal/Complaint1.pdf ).

Feel free to mirror this announcement on your blog (here is a link to mine with
details of this matter and how you can help. http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/474369.html
). If you link to THR, please update the link to point to thehighroad.us
Eventually, both .us and .org addresses will point to the same site again.

Thank you all
- Oleg Volk, Owner
The High Road(tm)

Most everyone around here knows of Oleg Volk and his work. Right now he is need of assistance to get his website back. Please read the details and donate to help him out http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/474369.html

One night of three down for our convention after parties. We had a decent turnout of doctors and I talked to several that seemed pretty interested in joining us. I think we were all pleased about how it all turned out.

Still no power at home, but at least Dave is coming up here today so we'll both be comfy. With any type of luck it will come on while we're gone and we won't be going home to no power. Makes you just want to stay in Chicago (almost).

( convention )

The sun is setting and the clouds are rolling by quite quickly. Still no real rainfall where we are. Probably won't be too long before we head home.

Winds are starting to pick up in gusts and we're several hours out from landfall. We're at the neighbors hurricane party grilling burgers now, but plan to head home when it gets worse. I feel bad for all the little hummingbirds still out and about wondering where the feeder went.

Opencarry.org is working on putting up a billboard in Houston urging people to sign the petition to allow open carry in Texas. I've gotten the group a really good discount on the board, but they need help raising the funds. If any of you can spare even a few dollars, please donate here http://www.opencarry.org/houston.html

Thanks!

I am currently being featured on a big billboard between San Antonio and Austin on I 35 northbound.

Those of you in the Houston area keep an eye out for this man. He raped one of LJ's very own and does not deserve the chance to do it to anyone else.

Happy Birthday Kimmy!

You can add me to the list of converts to Charlie's Soap. I've used it on several loads of clothes now and it really does make them feel softer. It's got a nice, clean smell and it's a lot cheaper than regular detergents. You don't even need fabric softner. http://www.charliesoap.com/

The Astros have pretty much sucked this season, but I am laughing hysterically as we just beat the Cardinals 18 to 1 in a game of pure comedy gold.

Congrat to Craig Biggio on his 3000th hit. I've watched this guy for over 16 years and he's always been my favorite player. I remember being in elementary school and always playing 2nd base in kickball or softball bc that's where Biggio played and being convinced I would marry him.

Happy birthday olegvolk!!!

All everyone's been talking about is the Virginia Tech shooting. I can't take another idiot reporter screwing up all of the terminology and basically filling in whatever sounds scariest when they don't have a clue. Anti-gun people are trying to use this as a case for more gun bans and restrictions. Gun nuts everywhere are using this as a case for fewer restrictions. I really don't understand how people can honestly believe that more laws are going to stop this sort of thing. If a person doesn't care about laws against murder, what makes them think they will care about any gun laws. This guy obviously wasn't supposed to be carrying a gun on campus but did. Who's to say whether this particular incident would have been stopped if students were given the option to carry on campus, but at least there would have been a better chance.

When I was at Tulane we weren't allowed to have guns on campus and we were in a city that was always topping the charts for murder and violent crime. Walking across a dark campus to get back to your dorm certainly never felt safe for me. None of my classmates seemed warped enough to pull a stunt like that, but I was in engineering and didn't know I should have been watching what those crazy English majors were up to.

I think one of my favorite new reports was this one
ABC's Brian Ross reported:

"[Cho Seung-hui] bought his first gun, a 9 mm handgun, on March 13 and his second weapon, a 22 mm handgun, within the last week, law enforcement officials tell ABCNEWS.com."


Yep, he was using a 22 mm handgun. I would like to get my hands on one of those. I only thought a .50 was sexy.

Most of my friends list have already said everything I would have to add to this, so I won't ramble on forever. It was a sad event, and it's even worse that people are trying to use it to place more restrictions on gun ownership.

Oleg's been putting together several posters about the Virginia Tech shooting. One of features pictures of me... http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/230439.html

RIP glushi. I'm not sure what was going on at the end with your accident, but you were a beautiful woman inside and out. I'm going to miss our chats.

Happy birthday partywhipple

RIP stiletto_one. You will surely be missed by many of us.

I'm in love. Today I got my necklace and earring set from LJ's very own pooka. She does amazing work with all sorts of things. All of you need to go check her out and buy stuff :)

Happy Birthday atlasimpure! I hope today kicks as much ass as you do :)

I've always been fairly crazy and done things my way, so why mess with tradition. I'm engaged. Dave popped the question, I said yes, and we're incredibly happy :)

And no, I'm not pregnant :)
