The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

New home protection idea.



 If you look near the center of the opening of the door you will see a paper wasp nest. They do not care for burglars.

Open carry extremists at it again

Once again the open carry extremists are expressing their demands.  MDA does not stand for Moms Demand Action for nothing it appears.

Believe it or not time?

"Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. Craig attributed the drop to better police work and criminals being reluctant to prey on citizens who may be carrying guns.
“Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,” said Craig, who has repeatedly said he believes armed citizens deter crime. “I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed."

This is a bit old but interesting


People wonder why TWW has a sign in his bathroom declaring it to be a gun free zone. Here is why:

TWW will never shop at Hobby Lobby again

That is because he does not know where one is.


According to USA Today this is what the company wants to do and now the courts say they can: 

              "It (the ruling - editor) doesn't affect:
• Most birth control pills
• Condoms
• Sponges
• Sterilization
It does affect:
• Plan B "morning-after pill"
• Ella "morning-after pill"
• Hormonal and copper intrauterine devices (IUDs)
The companies in the case and their supporters object to IUDs and morning-after pills, saying they cause abortions by blocking a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus."
source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/30/morning-after-iuds/11768653/
To a simple country bumpkin like TWW it appears Hobby Lobby is against paying for something they equate with abortion but not many common methods of birth control.

Pics from around the house


Orange and white flowers in the valley

Innovative lo-tech way to keep the  $%^& birds from building a nest over the thermometer face

Hops doing OK

About half of the pricey flowers did not make it through the winter

Finally getting caught up

Before you take your assault weapon to Target -- believe it or not

The first 30 seconds are the point. The rest is for all the 'gun nuts' out there with the hope they listen.

The key to preventing the next terrorist attack?

Finally a fresh idea on the subject:

"Here’s what doesn’t get the headlines: Empathy. Listening to those around you. Even if you don’t like them very much.
Despite being relevant and important discussions, the glamorous headlines are ultimately distractions — they just feed into the carnage and the attention and the fame the killer desired. They are distractions from what is right in front of you and me and the victims of tomorrow’s shooting: people who need help. And while we’re all fighting over whose pet cause is more right and more true and more noble, there’s likely another young man out there, maybe suicidally depressed, maybe paranoid and delusional, maybe a psychopath, and he’s researching guns and bombs and mapping out schools and recording videos and thinking every day about the anger and hate he feels for this world.
And no one is paying attention to him."

More how gullible are you (or how have you been hoodwinked?)

"You hear it all the time. Why, 97 percent of all climate scientists agree that global warming is dangerous and man is causing it.The debate is over and it's time to act! (With the very kinds of tax and regulatory policies liberals would advocate anyway.)
Did you ever think to question, though, what the basis of this 97 percent figure might be? "
