Can anyone identify this?

Scott — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:43:13 +0000

A friend of mine called me out to his truck this afternoon and handed me this. He thought it was a cannon ball but it had no hole for a fuse. The ball is iron and appears to be cast. It has the number four “4” imprinted on it and a small indentation beside the imprint. Its about 4 inches in diameter and about 4 pounds. &# [...]

The Greatest Generation

Scott — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:20:01 +0000

Be sure to thank them while you can. Filmmaker and P-51 Mustang Pilot Chris Woods has put together a wonderful film that captures the emotional reunion between a humble WWII Mustang ace (Jim Brooks) and the historic plane he thought he’d never see again. GRAY EAGLES FILM BY CHRIS WOOD [...]

Rules for kicking ass…

Scott — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 12:57:46 +0000

RULES FOR KICKING ASS Dear Civilians, ‘We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can’t join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance: 1. [...]

PETA…

Scott — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:25:57 +0000

I am just speechless. An animal rights group wants organizers of Pennsylvania’s Groundhog Day festival to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in. -=SOURCE=- This of course isn’t the most outlandish stunt PETA has done. In fact this doesn’t even rate as being a stunt. Simply a statement of preference. But come on. [...]

First Book of Government – On Obama

Scott — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:43:45 +0000

FIRST BOOK OF GOVERNMENT Obama is the shepherd I did not want. He leadeth me beside the still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican party. He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has a [...]

Heroes show up in different ways. Here are two for you.

Scott — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:08:37 +0000

Three young people, finding treasures in someone else’s trash, morph into heroes. "I had three uncles in World War II. That was the greatest generation. If it wasn’t for those men, we would have nothing," -=SOURCE=- Read the whole story. They didn’t give up. They didn’t stop until the WWII Veteran had a pro [...]

So. What’s been going on?

Scott — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:47:53 +0000

Many of you know, some of you don’t. And I am not going into the details publically. But suffice it to say I am single again. Or will be within about 90 days or so. My father passed away in October. AND… I retired from the Police Department. So now, with copious amounts of time on my hands, I have decided to resurrect Scott’s Mornin [...]

I am resurrecting Scott’s Morning Brew

Scott — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 12:52:30 +0000

I am resurrecting Scott’s Morning Brew. And like always, I have no idea which direction it is going to take. I will be changing the appearance of the site as well as the content. Existing content will remain however. I’m also going to be adding feeds for my three other blogs, Scott’s Shots, Scott’s Shots II [...]

Westboro Baptist Church (Hate Mongers) Win Court Battle

Scott — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 15:59:04 +0000

As much as I can’t stand these excuses for humans, I have to agree with the decision. Anyone who reads their crap is sure to understand the message is just that… CRAP Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, best known for their practice of protesting at funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan, won a major Court v [...]

The evil deer and the rancher

Scott — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:19:52 +0000

If this is true, it is very educational. If it is not, it still has the potential for being educati9onal and is at minimum entertaining. Read on about the evil deer… I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure wa [...]

Heads roll. Or at least one did

Scott — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:04:08 +0000

Mistakes happen. Right? At least one state employee has been fired and others have been disciplined in connection with the July shutdown of the westbound Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel after a water main failure went undetected for many hours, according a source close to the state Department of Transportation. -=SOURCE=- Someone has lost [...]

Keep it up Chesapeake…

Scott — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 23:24:41 +0000

I already don’t use 168 to go south into NC. Drivers on Dominion Boulevard could pay tolls as high as $2.50 per trip under a proposal announced Tuesday to widen the road and replace the Steel Bridge. -=SOURCE=- And when the Jordan Bridge gets rebuilt with it’s $2.00 toll, each way, I won’t use that either. So if the toll to use [...]

Rest in peace Senator Kennedy – or not

Scott — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:25:42 +0000

I will never take joy in another man’s death. I feel for the family of Senator Kennedy, and his friends. But I do not have to mourn. And I won’t. As far as I am concerned, he is a murderer who got away with it, because of his family name. So now, rest in peace Mary Jo. [...]

This is just comical…

Thank you Hardee’s #2803 in Portsmouth

Scott — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:19:52 +0000

My recent letter to Hardee’s at 801 London Blvd in Portsmouth. The store is owned by Boddie-Noelle Enterprises. (Their website seems to be reacting rather slow as well.) Wow. This particular store has hit rock bottom and has started digging. I have visited this drive thru three times this summer and three times they have screwed [...]

PilotOnline – How NOT to win subscribers

Scott — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:53:16 +0000

Back in the last few days of July, the PilotOnline started running ads for an IMAX Show at the Virginia Aquarium. These ads would pop down on your computer screen completely blocking anything on the screen until they were sucked back up into the header. They are very annoying. I made a comment on Twitter, asking if they were going to be [...]

Why do I seem to get them?

Scott — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:13:51 +0000

This week has been a strange one. I received an email from someone who absolutely DOES wear “tin foil hats” and truly believes… Well, lets just say at least Mel Gibson was right in his movie. Just a few moments ago, I am sitting in my car behind the court complex. As you can see in the photograph, the complex is to my left, [...]

Someone please help me understand…

Scott — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:52:00 +0000

Of. If two people of different racial backgrounds sit in the same schools for the requisite 12 years. Have the same courses of instruction and meet the same criteria for graduating (that graduation criteria is another post altogether) and in fact do graduate, how can a written test given to both people be discriminatory? Someone PLEASE explain [...]

NOTE: THIS MY BE AN ESCORTED RIDE AFTER ALL. IN WHICH CASE THE MAPPED RIDE PLAN BELOW IS NOT APPLICABLE!!! Ok Folks… This is far enough out I think we can do this as an organized club event. I would like to get a head count just so we have an idea, riders and passengers please. REGRETS ARE NOT NEEDED. Only [...]

10000 Twitter Updates

Scott — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:05:13 +0000

At some point last week, I came to the realization what I was fast approaching 10000 Twitter updates on my account. 10000, 140 character or less comments, statements and questions about whatever struck my fancy. I was counting them down from about 85 or so. Each time I authored an update, I would add the appropriate suffix like, –82, [...]

Deer and idiots on the road -78

Scott — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 03:15:45 +0000

I learned something and I have a word of advice for some other folks. What I learned. I learned that no matter how careful, cautious and observant you are when riding a motorcycle, some things are just out of your control. While on our ride today, we were going down a back country road in Isle of Wight county. I had fallen back a bit f [...]
