I am and will continue to do so.

I have bi-racial grandson and a daughter-in-law with six step grandkids of African extraction and a ton of step great grandkids. I'll cause anyone who abuses them in any way a lifetime of grief.

I hate to ask and I think I can guess, but what did Disney do to Star Wars?

Yeah, but I had more in the car just in case. Come to think of it never needed more except a couple of times at special events where there were a lot of people. Then I carried a few extras.

Obviously, there will be occasions when a title may either be misread or misinterpreted. This has already occurred several times in the "Conga Line". In those situations, if I can get to it in time, I will provide a "Missing Link" to get the line back on track. Should you be the one posting after such a post, feel free to post an appropriate video. In this case, @PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L decided to follow up on your statement above, such the jovial, quick witted fellow he is. He then followed suit on your next post. Remember the point of this Thread is to . Now, let's get back to where we should be based on the last video. Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

Found on FB At first glance, this may seem like just another unremarkable page out of a 19th century manual, but it’s actually incredibly influential… revolutionary, even. What makes this page out of the Queen’s 1859 Evolutions of Infantry manual so incredible is that it is the first time, in any military regulation of a great power, that says soldiers will defeat their enemies by shooting at them. For the first time, the bayonet is subordinate to the firearm, and no longer the decisive weapon. It goes even further: all the drill and marching a unit does, is simply to put the soldier in the best location to fire on the enemy. And it concludes with a profound statement: the soldier who cannot shoot is useless and an encumbrance to the battalion! Can you imagine how shocking this was to the old soldiers in the British Army in 1859? It horrified the old Napoleonic veterans like William Napier, the hero of the Peninsula, who just lived long enough to rail against the embrace of firepower, and insisted the bayonet charge was the “ne plus ultra” of the British soldier. The significance of these things can be overlooked so easily, if we don’t understand the context. Today we don’t bat an eye at the thought of soldiers using firearms to defeat enemies without a single fixed bayonet. But in 1859, this was extremely controversial and while everyone else in Europe and America was still training for bayonet focused shock tactics, the British decided, from now on we fight primarily with bullets.

During the 60s I enjoyed listening to Folk Singers like the Kingston Trio's, etc. My favorite, and attended one of their concerts. Couple weeks ago, the last original member of the Limeliters, Alex Lassilev passed away. Anyone remember them also?

Yes

thanks, just wondering how you knew what date the rifle was but I am guessing since it is a 120 anniversary from 1874 that would make sense. TM
