Forty Rod SASS 3935

I'm 83 and you ALL are just a bunch of snot-nosed kids. You'll be okay in a few years when you decide what you want to be when you grow up.

I think it was Sir Winston Churchill who said something about the English and Americans being separated by the same language.

Never mind. My brain kicked in on the wrong malady

A .38 snubby? DINOSAUR! I carry a 1947 vintage Colt ,38 Detective Special with a 2" barrel. It's unmodified except for the addition of a Tyler T-Grip. It rides in a "vampire" shoulder holster or a pocket, and is balanced by two speed loaders loaded with 90 grain Hornady Critical Defense The smallest caliber I carry is a .380 Colt Mk.8 Government Model for really hot days when concealment gets difficult. David Fink at Gunsite has worked this one over until it work flawlessly. People tell me that I am "under gunned", yet none have dared to try me out. 😄 A triage nurse in LA told me that the two worst wounds they had to deal with were .22s and ice picks.

Why don't we hear more about these places? Let's start tooting that horn.

How old are you, Todd?

He was a latter day Custer.

I know what you don't know, but you don't know that am totally incapable of telling the truth. Read it again and find the flaws in that statement............and then try to explain them.

...and cousin Stinky.

The only one I see can hardly be read and the closest I could come with the picture is in Nampa, Idaho.

They who? Did I miss something?

In Arizona I've seen these memorial tables in many cafes, libraries, police stations and lot of other places.

I truly hope it expands here and spreads to every square inch of the country. Pubic pressure could do this and I think it would drown a lot lefties emotionally. They'd blame it on Trump and the NRA.

Your just saying that because the girls in high school told it to you. 😄

I can and do without screaming most of the time. I'm told I'm missing a lot on the computer and tv and radio, but I'm not. I don't miss it much at all.

Did they take any of them back alive?

I have French drains all around my house. They were all disconnected at ground level when we bought the place.

Most people don't want to know anything that challenges their beliefs...no matter how foolish it makes those beliefs make them look.

There's a name I didn't have any respect for and haven't thought of almost 55 years.

I liked Saul Panzer in the Nero Wolf stories. Other than that I don't much care. 😐

My most unliked song of all time is Happy Birthday To You. I've walked out of my own birthday party because some smart ass didn't listen to me......and THEY get mad because I ruined all their planning. My birthday, my rules.

I understand that the metric system sucks and people inventing new terms for everything almost every day just add to the confusion.

I was stationed just three or four miles north of Naha near the western beach at a place called Item Pocket, (now known as Machinato) only 20 years after the war. A year later I became a Company Commander in the Machinato-Naha Service Area. Bullet holes, wrecked buildings and infrastructure things, unexploded ordnance, weapons, caches of all manner of things in caves, bodies and parts of bodies, wrecked equipment from both sides and a lot more were still daily finds all over the island and surrounding smaller islands. Swimmers and divers found a lot more all around the shores, up to and including a lot of ships, boats, and planes, both theirs and ours. EOD radio and TV ads telling everyone not to touch anything until it was cleared or destroyed were aired daily....and frequently ignored. It was a dangerous place what with all that, plus typhoons, and other storms, occasional earthquakes, habu snakes, uncharted under-water perils, deadly sea life, strange diseases, drivers not knowing how to drive.... and once in awhile "teddy boys", who didn't bother Americans much but would rob and attack their own people, and American punks who preyed on anyone they could find vulnerable. Throw in some left wing (communist) labor unions who just wanted to shut down the whole place so they could take over, and a few local mobsters and it was quite exciting. We left there in 1968 and I returned for three months in 1975 and a lot had changed. A LOT!

Sorry. but there is no such critter.
