LAS VEGAS, NV - FEBRUARY 01: U.S. Transportation Security Administration supervisor Nick Fox (R) and another TSA employee demonstrate an advanced image technology (AIT) millimeter wave scanner using new Automated Target Recognition software being tested by the TSA at McCarran International Airport February 1, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new software detects potential threat items and displays them on the outline of a generic body displayed on a monitor attached to the unit instead of using passenger-specific images. TSA officers will no longer need to use a remotely located room to view the images, which will make the process more efficient according to a TSA spokesman. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
Last year there was much speculation and fear associated with the TSA and flying in general. It hasn’t eased up. If you haven’t read already, we are headed to Florida in 3 weeks for my daughters Make A Wish trip. We have known this for a while now, and, of course, getting to Florida from Utah means flying.

I feel like singing that old Tom Lehrer song, “Spring is here, Spring is here…” Oh here, just watch it.
While there may not be many pigeons meeting their demise at my hands, I can’t say the same for the fish. The ice is melting, the sun is shining, the fish are hungry and so am I. I just recently cleaned out my garage and nicely stacked my fishing gear near the door. I am almost ready to put them permanently in the car for the summer.

head on back Here and read Part 1 of this story from yesterday if you haven’t already.
This weekend I taught my daughter 9 and my son who will be 7 in a week how to shoot. They kind of knew about guns but had never handled one. They mainly knew what they had seen on TV or in movies. That of course is not necessarily safe or correct. **disclaimer here- Safety is my #1 priority when it comes to guns. I once got knocked on my butt by my grandpa for turning around with my rifle (cradled and unloaded mind you, we just got out of the truck) and the muzzle passing within a foot of him. Never forgot that. Never lost track of a muzzle again either.**

So by now you know of just some of the crap that has completed our lives here at the Matthews house over the past month and a bit. I have covered the reality and the move so here is the next chapter in the saga. I could only wish that this saga chapter four was in any way comparable to another saga chapter four namely “Star Wars”. But alas, as much as I would like to be, I will never be Boba Fett.
