I’ll be back to my regular blogging schedule sometime this weekend. Y’all stay safe out there.

I’m back from a lovely, fast-paced holiday to the U.K., Ireland, and France. We visited London, Windsor, Stratford-upon-Avon, York, the lake district, Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford, Cardiff, a garden party at Highclere Castle, and Paris.

Travel and time off are good for the soul. My batteries are recharged.

I’m going to take a couple of weeks off and go see some cool parts of the world. Y’all behave yourselves.

Last week, in response to a column that I wrote, this guy wrote a letter to the editor accusing me of blaming Biden for the crime wave of 2020. Another letter writer called him out because I never mentioned Biden in the column. I also called him out on this blog. Well, we wrote another letter to the editor today. This is a classy response. Tip o’ the hat to Tom.

Last week I wrote that Owen Robinson said Joe Biden was responsible for the 2020 murder rate, and was called out by Mr. Pete Luehring that Mr. Robinson never said that. I went back and saw that he was right. He blamed it on the Democratic Party’s agenda. I would like to apologize to Mr. Robinson and readers of the Daily News for misconstruing what he said. I would also like to thank Mr. Luehring for correcting me. There is enough misinformation in our country today.

Mea culpa.

It looks like we’re back up on our new server.

We lost a little content in the period between when the hosting company grabbed the backup and now, so if there’s a post or comment missing, that’s why.  We’ll attemp to re-create what we can.

Also, if you signed up for an account or changed your password in the last 2-3 days, that’s probably lost as well, so you may need to re-sign-up or reset your password  again.

Our server maintenance didn’t go off as planned. We’re going to try again Friday night. Back to regular broadcasting…

We are doing some server maintenance here at B&S to improve your experience. We (I say “we” like I am actually helping) are doing the work over the next 24-48 hours and B&S will be unavailable or flaky until it’s done I apologize for the inconvenience.

The great leftist tech oligarchy hasn’t got to me yet. I just have some personal stuff going on. I’ll be back to regular programming at the end of the week.

Welcome back! As you may have noticed, Jed gave the ol’ girl a makeover. There are also some new features like a contact form, updated social media tabs, and a more consistent look and feel on mobile platforms. There are also some new backend features that will allow us to make posts with more features (once I figure out how to work it). The content will still be useless drivel, but at least it will look sharp!

Welcome to Boots & Sabers 3.0

We’re going to take the blog offline for a while to do some much-needed maintenance. It has been having trouble with mobile devices and a bit behind on updates. If things go well, it should take a few hours. If things don’t go well, we’ll see you in the new year. We will try to migrate all of the old posts and comments, but we’ll see.

See you soon and Merry Christmas!

Some of you may have noticed that the blog has been down for a couple of days. We had a server move that didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Now I have all of this pent up commentary but no time to write at the moment… more to come :)

Just a heads up… it looks like all comments are going into moderation. I’ll push them through as I have time. New posts are below.

Due to some unforeseen issues, I was not able to submit a column for the Washington County Daily News this week. I’ll be back next week. In the meantime, go pick up a copy!
