None of their Beeswax!

I was reading Ben's blog and came upon a Q & A with Miranda Lambert. When asked how many guns she owned, her answer was, "Enough."

That got me to thinking about the time the doctor had one of our children (about 10 at the time) in tears after the interrogation that was supposed to be a camp physical.

Do you wear a helmet every time you bike?

Does your family own guns?

Do you know where they are kept?

Are you ever sad?

At the time, said child, didn't know that the rifle that we kept in our front closet was a prop rifle that had been used to tape a Dugan family Super 8 version of "The Magnificent Seven". (Do all families have boxes full of costumes and props in their garages, or is that just a Dugan thing?) Anyway, on some permanent record in some doctors office it is noted that we keep a very long rifle in our front closet with the winter coats!

All of that reminded me of what I heard Michael Graham say on Fox News yesterday afternoon. Here is his Boston Herald article. It's worth the read.
