			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So we are still searching, test drove a Nissan Murano, a Ford Flex and a Ford Edge, and a Toyota FJ Cruiser.  The Murano was awful.  The Edge was nice, but the angle of the windshield really bothered the wife.  Same with the Flex.</p>
<p>She saw a Dodge Nitro and mentioned she&#8217;d like to test drive that.  So I call the one dealer I know of &#8211; Tyson Dodge Jeep to see if they had any &#8211; and get an &#8220;Im sorry the mail box is full message.&#8221; </p>
<p>So I go to the Dodge Web Page &#8211; multiple times this weekend &#8211; to find another dealer.  Its dealer search function is down.  </p>
<p>Think Government Run health care will function any better?????</p>

<p>Needs: big enough car for wife, two kids, friend, and an 87 pound dog. And all wheel drive. And cup holders.<br />
Can&#8217;t be made by Government Motors.  Less oppossed to Chrysler, simply because it&#8217;s not Gov&#8217;t Motors, but not a fan either. </p>
<p>She wanted a Honda Element, but they only have two seats in rear. </p>
<p>Any thoughts would be appreciated.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spent the day today in meetings with senior Nero the Golfer Administration folks discussing environmental regulations.  </p>
<p>I try, as you know, not to mix work and blog, so I&#8217;m going to talk about this in only the broadest of terms &#8211; leaving the specifics out.</p>
<p>We met to discuss a series of recent pronouncements that will significantly impact my clients.  Generally speaking, these are going to be selective regulations, that you will probably never know about, but will cost you somewhere in the range of $3-4 a day.</p>
<p>Now, I mention this, because what they are proposing strikes directly at the heart of the great nation.</p>
<p>Specifically, it is their position that the regulation is warranted &#8211; in fact it is a grand injustice and extraordinary financial discrimination not to implement &#8211; because one state doesn&#8217;t regulate for this asinine proposal, while Illinois does.  And so, in Obama&#8217;s world view, the solution isn&#8217;t less regulation &#8211; and perhaps de regulating Illinois, but rather mandating onerous regulations around the rest of the country so that Illinois residents are not at a disadvantage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All,</p>
<p>Gonna be traveling down to New Orleans January 27, 28, and 29th.  Will be staying in the French Quarter for a meeting with EPA</p>
<p>Couple of questions &#8211; </p>
<p>First, are there any restrictions in Louisiana on carrying that I need to be aware of?  Can I carry in restuarants? I know I can&#8217;t carry in the federal building, though the meeting is in my hotel (I won&#8217;t carry to the meeting itself, but when I leave the hotel to explore I&#8217;d like to be able to carry).</p>
<p>Any good ranges and/or fun things to do there?</p>
<p>Where can I go nutria hunting?  Anything else in season?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its the coldest December/January we&#8217;ve ever had here in Washington, D.C.  Last month saw record amounts of snow and the new year brought us record, bitter cold (-5 with the wind chill today) and the prospect of another 6 inches of snow later this week.</p>
<p>Still, the nuts don&#8217;t give up.</p>
<p>Watching the Outdoor Channel for some gun fun hunting shows, and they just ran an ad about the horrors of climate change &#8211; from the perspective of some firefighter.</p>
<p>And the punch line was that in his years of experience, he&#8217;s never seen the situation so bad. That if something isn&#8217;t done to stop global warming and climate change, they won&#8217;t have water to put out fires and that California will burn up and fall off the continent.</p>
<p>Of course, that sounds like more a feature to climate change than a bug. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regular Deer Season ends today here in Virginia as well as in Maryland.  I ended up with two deer &#8211; one doe and one buck.  But, luckily, earlier this week I landed a piece of property to hunt in Prince William County, VA (which happens to be owned by one of the Bush Admin officials who was most instrumental in the decision to grant the right to carry in national parks) where I can hunt antlerless deer until late March.</p>
<p>I got out this morning, and it was cold.  5 degrees with the wind chill.  Froze my ass off.  Animals started moving about 10am &#8211; saw a gorgeous fox and a bunch of red and blue birds &#8211; but no deer until I was heading back in.  Saw a bunch of sign too.  I&#8217;ll be back!</p>
<p>Any way, wanted to leave you with this great recipie for venison steaks if you have any.</p>
