A few days ago, I learned the remarkable story of Lieutenant Marcus McDilda, who saved hundreds of thousands of American and allied troops lives by fabricating a story about America having "100 more atom bombs" soon to be dropped on Japanese cities, devastating them.

Today, I learned about Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper who quit school after fourth grade to work on his farm.  He had 542 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers in the 98 day war the USSR started in 1939.  His is a world record that almost certainly never be broken. It is all the more remarkable considering that he achieved it with iron sights zeroed in at 150 yards.

Soviet soldiers first nicknamed him "The Magic Shooter" and later, "The White Death."
In the winter, snow blanketed Finland and Simo wore white as camouflage, top to bottom.

 Simo died in 2002 at the age of 96.

Incidentally, snipers use an average of 1.3 bullets per enemy killed.
In WWI, the average number of bullets used per enemy killed was 7,000.
In WWII, the average number of bullets used per enemy killed jumped to 100,000.

pointing-up :da man:

You're making all the rest of the guys jealous - and I love it.

But on to business.  Virtually every state in America violates federal safety law by overruling the Department of Transportation Safety Standard 108, mandating a highly visible middle brake light for all cars and light trucks.   According to our Constitution, federal law is the supreme law of the land, but states don't seem to care.  They do what they want.  Look at the craziness today.

Here's the link showing blatant disregard for your safety:


https://www.tinting-laws.com/california/

California Window Tinting Laws

California window tint law restricts windshield tint on top 4 inches.

Front side windows must have 70% light transmission or more. Back side windows and rear window may have any tint darkness.

Car window tinting laws in California were enacted in 1999.

We have provided all the necessary information about your car’s window tint, including how dark or reflective the tint is allowed in your state.

There are also additional car window tinting rules and regulations in California so make sure you read all about it below.

Window Tint Darkness in California
/
/


Tint darkness for sedans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.

Front Side windows: Aftermarket film must allow more than 88% of light in, or minimum 70% VLT if combined with factory-tinted windows.

Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used.

Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.

___________________________________________________________________


Any darkness can be used in Arizona, Illinois, Texas, Missouri, New York, Nevada, Ohio, New Jersey, Utah

Remaining states specify percentages of light that “must be let in” down to only 12%, all overruling federal safety Standard 108.

...I will give unto each one of you according to your works. - Revelations 2:23

This should encourage every one of us to do the best works we can daily, for the most people.
What those gifts are that we will receive, we have no idea.

It should encourage us to get in alignment with G-d and to do the works that He has established and prepared for us to walk in.

Put a smile on many faces, every day you can.

At coffee shops and outdoor dining locations, I find a table with 4 to 8 people over thirty and place my hands gently on two of their shoulders:
"Keep it down here. We don't want any trouble." It has never failed.

A young man sitting with his wife and child or children: Hand on his shoulder: "You're a lucky man. Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said, 'There is almost nothing a father can do wrong if he shows his children that he loves their mother'."

It has never failed. Big smiles, big joy. Wonderful lesson.
