Message of the Day – A Tee Shirt
We stayed at a motel near Midway Airport the night before our flight to Orlando.
I figured that sure beat getting up at 3 AM as my brother-in-law’s family did, although my wife’s 5 AM wake up call was way too early for me. I don’t do well in the dark.
Besides the extra hours sleep, the consortium of hotels in Bedford Park, south of the airport, allow one to park in the hotel lots for $10 a day (in the case of the Hilton Garden Inn) and provide bus transportation to and from the airport.
We were the first to get on the bus.
When it pulled up at the Marriott, I saw an American flag cow I had to take a picture of. (Look for it as a future “Message of the Day.)
Getting on the bus was a young man with this tee shirt.
Looking at it, I knew it was going to be a good day.
The tee shirt said,
Between the two lines was an arrow with a pointed arrow head.

YOU DON’T HUNT?
I see no point in talking to you.

Bonus of Being a Hunter
I may have mentioned earlier that I thought gun control advocates, if they really believed in what they espoused, would put “No Guns Within” on signs outside of their homes.
Now comes some evidence that at least one crook or set of crooks were scared away by hunting equipment.
At least in Oak Forest.
My nephew is a hunter and a fisherman.
Goodness knows what he stores in his garage. Probably targets at a minimum.
The crooks broke into his wife’s car, which was parked in the driveway. They used her garage door opener to open the garage enough so they could roll under it.
Apparently, whatever they saw in the garage was enough to convince them that they might be wise to select another victim.
I wonder if they would have gone that far had they known he has a black belt in judo.
So, hunters, the moral of this story is make it obvious that you might have a gun in the house.
