    That guns in trucks can be a hazard too.

    My truck is champagne colored.
    Never fear Richard,if I ever have a concealed weapon permit, it won't be a rifle in my truck.

    What if I drink tea, not coffee? Is the mug just as dangerous?

    It's not the tool that should be feared, it's just an inanimate object.

    It's the person using it who should be feared.

    In my case, I know how to use a teacup, sure, and own many, but a mug hold much more, and keeps its temperature better!

    Besides, if you hold the teacup just so, the dogs probably look at you funny.

    To me the wonder of pets is that they love you...no matter how you hold your teacup...

    Yet another shooting..........this time someone opened fire outside the Empire State building - reporting at least 5-10 shot. Not really much info yet.

    More fuel for the fire for this thread. It will never end.

    Not exactly a joking matter, or appropriate comment - is it???

    The sad part is all the wounded were apparently wounded by the bullets of police officers. We'll see, when it all is investigated fully, what the truth turns out to be.
