  1. Your definition of "pretty good' is different than mine.
  2. TS. I liked it.
  3. You know, some of us are old enough to remember when that was on the radio. KVNU (The Voice of Northern Utah) and KOMA out of Oklahoma (?).
  4. My Chevy still has a two cigarette lighters and I have plug in chargers that I use to charge / recharge / top of my flip phone and a whole herd of other things. Very expensive. IIRC they were less than $10.00 each at a grocery store.
  5. I saw the two up north about 20 years apart. The one by Victorville was too far away to see for sure, but a Victorvillian told me it was. I tried to get closer but lost sight of it in a couple of minutes.I I've never seen a Golden Eagle. We have owls and hawks of one kind or another, including peregrine falcons ( You have to look fast. They are allegedly the fastest animal on Earth)
  6. And here I was looking at maps trying to find Blackhawk Springs. Then I read the whole thing and became horribly DEpressed. It' snot nice to mess with old people like that.
  7. Came here to hatch the kiddies, but they moved on as soon as the younguns could fly...I think. I hope they come back. Nothing is quite as majestic as seeing 400-600, or more, bald eagles in a few acres all around a beautiful lake, just doing what eagles do. We weren't allowed to get very close to them but a real good telescope sure does bring them close.
  8. Depends on which part we get. A lot of it would be like adding another California, Oregon, Washington, New York, etc. Now if they want to trade I'd go for that if carefully done. Might end up with the 48 star colors I was born under.
  9. Planning to raid the cookie jar.
  10. My closest grocery, Fry's (Kroeger puppet), has a space about 800 square feet right inside the north entrance. It's an inconvenient thing that has to be gone around to get directly to a portion of the store. It's an inconvenience, but I suspect Starbucks pays a lot to Fry's for the use of that space. I have been in that store at all hours of the day and night and I HAVE NEVER SEEN MORE THAN THREE OF FOUR PEOPLE at the dozen or so tables in the area. Someone is making money off of that but I don't think id offsets the people who will drive a few blocks to Safeway where there is a smaller but much more used no name coffee shop sort of out of the way to traffic.
  11. Ten years ago when we moved here there were hundreds of mated pairs of "our" eagles at some of the lakes near here, Lynx Lake in particular, maybe six miles from my place. I have had three in my yard just sitting there scouting out pets for lunch. A few years ago they started to vanish due to a lot of human "who gives a damn" things, and bad droughts (also human caused? I don't know, but hat sure got the blame from a lot of politicians and other assorted idiots.) omI didn't see any this last year. In my nearly 38 years in California I only saw two, both way up in the northern end of the state. Saw condors up there, too and one in the hills over north east near Victorville.
  12. Sarge, I'm 83 years old. I don't know that I have much time left. At my age I could go any minute. I might not even live to finish this senten
  13. The offer is always open.
  14. That has suited me well over the years, but now I'm old enough I can't think of any mistakes I haven't made already.
  15. Often it is deliberately passed over because of the many atrocities performed against the Mormons by "Gentiles" that would embarrass a lot of people who were not even alive at the time, but whose forebears were. A lot were commmitted by Federal, and / or state troops, and even more by mobs with no control and no authority. The true history is fascinating and very interesting. My mother's family was deeply involved, both as recipients and avengers.
  16. Once again I am enthralled by the talents and results in your church.
  17. Good call. I have used a few of their mags for several guns, including a Colt 1908 .25 and a Colt 1902 in .32. They even had them for my Remington M 51 .32.
  18. As soon as you mention Starbucks I shut down. Don't like them, never did, never will.
  19. That's about what they get....when it snows.
  20. It's only a challenge if you don't enjoy it!
  21. They usually had a removable roof section, and almost all had roll up windows. Any of them in really fine shape today will sell for something in the neighborhood of a Doctor's Degree at Yale or Harvard or some other high dollar colleges around the world.
  22. I love honey, but I'll pass on this one. I already have old age mental problems, I don't need any artificial sources. I AM NOT CRAZY! YOU JUST TAKE THAT BACK!
  23. BTW, we have mule deer, whitetail and black tail deer, cuiy (SP?) deer, some elk, pronghorns nearby, javalina and coyote in your yard in some places, foxes, every kind of western raptors from bald eagles to peregrine falcons, to a dozen types of owls, some poisonous snakes (I've been here over ten years and have yet to see one), black bears, tortoises, tarantulas (I hate spiders but these are harmless and eat other yard critters), crows, ravens, grackles, and many other birds, some game fish not too far away, a few skunks, lizards galore, horned toads, butterflies, etcdangcetera. We are overrun by "furriners" from less desirable state, seasonal tourists, and some others. Got several strong shooting groups, lots of places to buy, sell, or trade guns and related things, a few pro writers in the area, almost any kind of store you could wand....we really need some competition in the grocery profession, farmers' markets all over, lots of libraries, and a catalog of entertainment things around. Think about it. You're only around a hundred fifty miles away.
