Crows and corn chips, Squirrels and beer sips… Lazy hammock and Hemming-way, our rabbits mowing the grass today... A nap under the advancing stars, A Paradise in our Backyard! Raccoons love the chicken bones, everynight, a fox visits our home, Fish guts and crab-leg shells, opossum out there giving-‘em-Hell, Casting corn and some bird seed, for Mother Nature everything she needs, God’s aces and a Wild Card! A Paradise in our Backyard! Ohhh! In summer a Bar-be-que, and you the prettiest girl I ever Knew! Couple ‘o kids and a swimming pool, mini-van and Cadillac-cool, Love the beaches and mountains, of Carolina and my country-kin, Wouldn’t trade it for the whole of Mars, A Paradise in our Backyard! You and me under the stars, our home, children and a dream of ours, Leo, Virgo, Aries and Mars, I thank the Lord for your tender heart. Our life amazing, though a, rough start, A Paradise in our Backyard! Oo-oh -a paradise in our Backyard! You and me under the stars, Our home and children; a dream of ours, Leo, Virgo, Aries and Mars, I thank the Lord for your tender heart... ...a Paradise in our Backyard! Some people say it’s just a yard, ...this paradise under the stars, Leo, Virgo, Aries and Mars, you, me, children of ours. Our home, children, a dream of ours, I thank you Jesus for your tender heart; Paradise in our Backyard! A Paradise in our Backyard! Oooh -a paradise in our Backyard! You and me under the stars, Our home and children a dream of ours, Leo and Virgo, Aries and Mars, A Paradise in our Backyard! Praise Jesus and NAS-CAR! You and me under the stars, our home and children a dream of ours, Leo and Virgo, Aries and Mars, some people say it’s just a yard? You and me under the stars -and a Paradise in our Backyard! *A Paradise in our Backyard! A Paradise in our Backyard! A Paradise in our Backyard!* <musical break> I love you, heaven: Hea Anna

Tribute to Jimmy; Paradise in Our Backyard
Crows and corn chips, Squirrels and beer sips… Lazy hammock and Hemming-way, our rabbits mowing the grass today... A nap under the advancing stars, A Paradise in our Backyard!

I’ve been to NASCAR races, Haunted houses, Hospital delivery rooms, and even Marathons. But I’ve never seen anything faster than the speed at which you left.

We Called Her ‘Fast’ Because She Was Quick
In case I'm not being clear enough .  58% of firearm deaths in 2023 were suicides (about 27,300 deaths) How many  is that on a per day basis? 75.  And that number has skyrocketed since Trump took office. You wonder where all the daddies have gone?  It's either this or prison. Why there's nobody there to raise little Johnny. And you wanna get up in arms about people smoking or Plastic grocery bags ?   AND  Your big expensive  "pop guns"  don't  stop tanks, jets, or missiles in the sky, Just your own ******  co-workers and neighbors and a count down  to a  drunken self-inflicted goodbye. Good bye and good riddance. But the guns even after , don't disappear the family keeps loving and keeping them with obligation it's clear. Waiting to **** again. It's not a tool. It's not a hammer. It's not a cordless drill. It doesn't fix the drywall or repair your roof or get your car started in the morning. Stop pretending it's a tool. You're not a fool. Preachers of firepower sing their gospel so grand, While stacking ammo like holy NRA cash  in their G.O.P. hand. The enemy you fear? Isn't coming dear. Ghosts and shadowy  Fox news schemes. The real threat is you? Your own trigger and your twisted dreams. You brainwashed your kids and in church . hate and fear the art of digital click war, Marjorie Taylor-Greene outrage, memes, talking points galore. But when it comes down to it, the   "battlefield’s " all to near, And the target is staring back in the mirror, my dear. Does  it look like   YOU   and  NOT a   *********   or queer ? The right to stop a king with a single shot musket was their intent. One ball at a time, not 30-round animal death and torment. You shoot the deer, the fox, the birds that  flee in fright, But humans? They would be the only creatures on Earth to walk TOWARDS  a gun fight.. Pray to your ancient carpenter or part time goat herder there  is no such thing as  subsistence hunting just animal   ****** . Domestic rage, drunken misfire, kids too young to know, You preached apocalypse BUT the smoking barrel steals the show. Oh, the NRA hymns and your freedom parade, Big guns, bold threats, so carefully displayed. nothing stops those  tanks, the  jets, or missiles filling  the sky, Just your own  delusional ignorance taught and teaching  "men don't cry " .   Good bye daddy      Good bye...   brother, uncle, guy Good bye   good bye      good   buy  ... So cheer for your rights, whoopty woo, hooray, Build bunkers, hoard bullets, live in the fray. The Second Amendment, a relic, a myth you pursue, Mostly it  destroys … The sorry MAGA  piece of **** that  IS  you. So if you're thinking about taking that to some school yard or campus, do us all a favor and go back inside. Everybody sees the truth that  you've so long denied. This **** isn't capable of defending anyone's freedom. Not for more than 200 years. It's an object  of rage and fear turned against neighbors and fears. Don't try to tell me that it's not weapons and guns that **** people. It's just another tool. I'm not blind or ignorant and I'm sure as hell not a fool . You can't **** 30 people in under a minute with a rock. You do that with a 30 round clip and a  gun show bump stock. Kristi Noem  down  in  the gravel pit gain rounding up Mexicans and preaching bout sin another innocent puppy in sight be sure  to tell it again about your abusive so called 2nd amendment right. Sadly, they'll keep on doing this over and over again. It's true, as long as the NRA is allowed to sell this twisted Second Amendment lie to you.

Lord, Thank you for the road traveled today, for the miles that were smooth and for the potholes that kept me awake. May Your grace be the fuel that sustains me, and Your Word the map that never fails, even when the fog rolls in from the mountains. Watch over the ones I love, and maybe give Ryan Blaney a little extra drafting help on Sunday. Amen.
