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

Right Off Track

He’s always been entertaining. He’s a clever dude. I like him. This one’s great!!

My Mom bought a pistol, didn't like shooting it, traded it back to dealer 3 days later. Fast forward 11 years and the ATF showed up at the door after the gun was used in a shooting in East St. Louis.

In Illinois 4473 has to be used for BP guns, may be other states as well.

Okay this is way off track now!!

Dazed and Confused

How did SISTER get in the chain. I posted He ain’t heavy he’s my BROTHER and then next was SISTER! I’m confused…….

I have about half a dozen in my wallet but a bunch in my tool box in my car.

Sorry, Alpo, but your analogy is more than a little off base. Disney made a lot of money by stretching three great movies into nine, and people can debate their merits ad nauseam. I have two biracial grandchildren whose parents have a partnership, not a legal marriage. I will defend all four of them with my dying breath.

May the Fourth of 2023 brought me a grandson. Today we’re celebrating his first trip around the sun! We’re at his grandparents’ on the other side. They live outside Louisville and love their horses, so today is themed with Kentucky Derby accoutrements. At our house next year, it will be Star Wars!

Well said. I worry about the behavior of all sides when emotions start running unchecked. A state of semi-anarchy cannot be far behind if cooler, more rational, heads cannot prevail.

Umm . . . .

Just checked are you talking about the one on there for 8,495.95,if so I think Ill pass.

Thanks Ill check it out,I couldnt find one on there earlier but probably missed it.

May the force boldly go ever in your favor. There -- tweaked three groups of nerds with one greeting. ETA: May the force boldly go ever in your favor to infinity and beyond. (Just in case I could get a few more heads to explode.)

And with you!

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Story I found on the web Vanessa, who is a chimney sweep, was coming from work when I photographed her in Cologne, Germany a few months ago. She shared with me her vivid childhood memories, when a chimney sweep would visit her house from time to time to clean the chimneys. His presence fascinated her, and his departure left behind a sense of security within the family. At the age of 13, Vanessa decided to become a chimney sweep as well and began learning the trade. Then she started to work at only 16. Being a chimney sweep is a hazardous occupation, with Vanesa constantly ascending to great heights on rooftops. It demands strength, courage and resilience. Vanessa has them all, and, moreover, she loves what she does. Within her closely-knit community, ancient traditions are still held dear. Vanessa’s beautiful uniform not only provides her with fire protection but also serves as a representation of the ancient community she belongs to. As I photographed Vanesa, people from the street would approach her to ask to touch the buttons on her clothing, as it is a local tradition believed to bring good luck.
