In the interest of saving space, I only post the first three stanzas, and will direct the reader to search for the full poem:
“The Female of the Species” by Rudyard Kipling:
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
‘Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Thank you.
You have confirmed my faith in the Internet’s awesome capacity to integrate our common culture.
Now if only we could get others to reflect on our collective wisdom and faith in the Rights to Life, Liberty, and Property, we’d have less looting and more nice things.

I have a feeling being careful isn’t going to cut the cards. They’d be better off gone. 200 meters isn’t nearly a safe zone on Rancho DD.
If his sight bearing is 190 that means he’s ten degrees east of due north of the objective. Reciprocal bearing is 010. Probably figuring the main defenses are on the south side, so this is the easy penetration route.
More the fool he.

So they’re looking from a vantage point in the northeast corner. Is there a north pasture where Tobasco likes to bide his time? Being a bull, by nature he’s famously protective of his territory.

You can get binocs with compass, rangefinder or both. Considering the sky behind them is definitely NOT NNE or SSW, that reading is a rangefinder.

Too Tall
Failure to “check six” (actually their 8 o’clock, and inside 5 meters) is generally fatal.
By now, one would think the Coyotes’ maps would be imprinted with “Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here” over the Double D. Or, at the very least, “Here Be Dragons.”
Just across the border is a fly infested cantina that would require major renovations to achieve the exalted status of “Tourist Trap.”
On the porch silently sit a small group of feeble, white haired, rheumy eyed men, who on closer inspection are decades younger than they initially appear.
On the hottest days of the year they still cannot rid their bones of the deep, penetrating, cold.
The locals quietly whisper about them as “the few who came back from the Rancho Diablo Diablo.”
And judging by the size/shape of the handgun…..suppressed as well….
*Snerk*…..reminds me of a comment about a legendary sniper in Afghanistan whose work you always saw, but never him……a Spec Forces colonel described him as “the bastard son of Clint Eastwood and Yoda”!
After I stopped laughing and cleaned the Mt Dew off the monitor, I realized that this could be a good, accurate description of Zed!! 😀
If we learned anything from the Fracas in Ukraine it’s that the problem with munitions is that there’s never enough when you need ’em.

Zed doesn’t need much tech to walk up on this pair while they’re focused on shiny object in the house. Collect the two brass cases & vehicle. Back in time for supper.
Its EL Jefe (the male boss) or LA Jefa (female boss) but I understand the confusion as in English it is “THE Boss) regardless of gender. Yeah, the downside of being 100% fluent bilingual in America. Keep the good stuff coming.
I know what you mean.
My late wife relates the story of a black co-worker in USDA complaining to Higher-Higher that her subordinate kept calling her a heifer.
I knew and said at the beginning that something was fishy with our Pam Blondie’s statement about “reviewing” this evil shit and it’s even worse than I thought…
If there are downsides to having several weeks between the election and the inauguration, this would be a stinky example of such. As soon as Trump won, the Swamp critters started flushing evidence.
If’n the dawgs aren’t already “On point” waiting for release, a M24Hind is still nearby…right? Oh, and the over 1million mini drones? Sheeesh…ya think mosquitos down on the border are bad…
The only reason and a few others beat me to nothing that the Cockroach(AKA Zed Owens)is behind the Cartel Boys, is because I went early to sleep.
That Said, considering that there are at least three men at the ranch at this time(Damon, Anatoly, Damon, Zed), a former Israeli Sniper, a Terminator and a score of Dawgs, I’m thinking Kiko and Mari should’ve been given a heads up, what with being out at Jack’s Ranch.

My Colombian wife had to translate this for me. Man, they are in for a surprise.
Bubbles with English
“The boss tells him that this gringa whore would be a good start.”
“I still can’t see anyone on this Ranch DD”
“Brother, we have to be careful. The man here is the Cockroach.”
Goojle Translate is your friend.
This is going to smart.
As Eva Kant said to Diabolik when he asked her why she offed an entire gang, “Women are always crueler than men”.

That 180,190,200 is compass headings not ranges.

Might be more entertaining to let them catch Jo, impersonating Sam. Talk about a chilly reception.
Too Tall’s read my mind again…

I was thinking the same thing.
Looks like the feral hogs will be getting well fed again.
WayneM,
As the feral hogs are known to grunt: “Coyote, the other white meat.”
Here there be SHE-Dragons!

Sam was braggin’ to DJT about the drone swarms, where dey at? Early warning system needs work…

La mierda se puso seria
Been a while since high school spanish, but I’m thinking
“shit just got serious”
“Dos Hermanos” never figured out that it sucks to walk into an L-shaped ambush or a kill box?
The civilized, hospitable, thing to do would be to introduce the Dos Hermanos to XIR.
My money would be on Trigglypuff.
Another vehicle to be added to the stable. Be interesting to see what upgrades Kiko and Sam make.
Am I correct in surmising that the silhouette on the right with the handgun just might be *La Cucaracha* hisself…..living up to his name/rep??
And judging by the size/shape of the handgun…..suppressed as well….
*Snerk*…..reminds me of a comment about a legendary sniper in Afghanistan whose work you always saw, but never him……a Spec Forces colonel described him as “the bastard son of Clint Eastwood and Yoda”!

Demasiado tarde para tener cuidado. Justo a tiempo para los problemas.
La cucaracha camina en las sombras.
Wow. This is gonna be better than Boris Badanof attacking Rocky and Bullwinkle in Frostbite Falls,Mn. I wonder if Zed got some of these last year for Christmas, besides a tumble in the hot tub. https://www.twz.com/air/ground-launched-and-powered-air-launch-versions-of-stormbreaker-glide-bomb-are-in-development

who is in the shadows on the right????
I`m thinking I need to take that Babbel
Language course.
Don’t worry, Trump just signed an EO that makes English the official language of the USA.

Los chingasos quitan lo pendejo
Now That is what I call a Target Rich Environment.
Abandon Hope All Ye That Enter Here.
I don’t think they like her….
Did they drive up in a Hummer ?
Sam would probably appreciate getting a hummer for a change 😉
She could paint it in pink camouflage.
Didn’t she have a pink camo APC a while back?
So reluctant to drag this topic away but damn…

A’stan left behinds have been found on the US border meaning that the Cartels have near parity in the hardware dept
Nice work Biden…
