  1. I agree with that in a way. I don't figure it's any of the government's... ANY GOVERNMENT'S damned business... to get involved in anyone's morals.
  2. I was taking my dog to the vet when I noticed the northern skies. Our skies are sometimes a truly wonderful blue that I have never seen anywhere else in all my travels. Still true today, but the clouds were new: a furrowed look as if someone had spread them with a rake, evenly spaced like newly plowed field When I came out a half hour later the clouds in the southwest sky were in fairly even squares, like a flat cake, and the clouds due west due west were "angel hair" cirrus formations. Beautiful and so dainty (not a word I often use) that they earned the description. I stopped at the library and when I came out there was a crowd pointing north west at formation that looked like a stack of quarter moon slices all in a row with the open ends facing almost due east and the back of the arches pointing south west. All this in the course of two hours or maybe a bit more...and the sky never changed its hue. There were seven or eight contrails cutting across the sky. too. Not a plane in sight. Spectacular has a whole new meaning and I'd like to know what could cause this spectacle...or spectacles Now I'll wait for our next "rose moon" where a full moon is a beautiful rose pink and bright enough to read under. I SURE DO LOVE CENTRAL ARIZONA! Eat your heart out Montana. BTW, I have three favorite places to see sunsets: Sunset, Utah north of Salt Lake City and east of the lake, El Paso, Texas, and Okinawa after a monsoon blows by. That salt water in both Utah and Okinawa does something to pour the entire spectrum into the western skies and light it up. I can't explain Texas, but then, I never could.
  3. The funniest thing EVER recorded anywhere was at the end when Carlson made his statement about thinking turkeys could fly. After all these years it still makes me laugh until tears come.
  4. That's a lot of money to pay to see someone else play a kid's game.
  5. So do I. There are five or six high schools in the area that meet that "need".
  6. He would be gutted in record time if he said that to my daughter. She bought her "Bronco Billy" in about 1982 and has restored it once or twice since then. Even had it repainted another time. She also has a Subaru Forester (?) with all wheel drive, but it was useless after the recent hurricane because of insufficient ground clearance when the mountain fell on their access road. Billy came through for her.
  7. Too much work. I'll save that effort for baking pies, biscuits, and the like.
  8. What governor would that be?
  9. I wouldn't 1. cheat on my spouse 2. ever go to New York
  10. Good choice. Ma Deuce can be very musical. I love that old gal!
  11. If they ever bring out a clear soda that tastes exactly like sarsaparilla I'll buy it. Otherwise I won't bother.
  12. I don't watch pro sports anymore...not for about 55 years. This is one more reason why: these organizations are WOKE in that they want to control everything around them...and we sit around bitching about it, but don't do anything to fight it. Hit them in the pocket book HARD. Stop paying money, time, or anything else and they will have to bow out, BUT as I have stated before, it takes almost everyone working together to make it work. My small dent in their income won't even be noticed, but if a half million fans (or more) lock them out IT WILL WORK. If you don't want to do this simple thing, then please stop bitching about it to everyone else. It's doing nothing but annoying folks. I honestly don't expect that to happen in my lifetime.
  13. Based on James Fenimore Cooper's stoty of the same name. Unlike the Last of the Mohicans, this one is a total piece of crap. Graham Greene, a genuine American Indian, and usually a great actor, comes off as lifeless as a cigar store Indian. (poor direction in my estimation, but that seems to be the rule in this movie.) Russel Means, another native American, and Stacy Keach have brief cameos...nothing to write home about. The acting is very poor, the camera work is lacking, the dialog stinks, but my greatest complaint is the actors: they are "wooden", speak with an east coast accent and don't look right in so many other ways. Now, I am a very pale person. I don't tan and was born with red hair. I was once told that I was "as pale as Casper the Ghost." By comparison I am well tanned. They don't look like a native anything unless they are cast as bed sheets. And I have never in my life seen as many skinny "college boy" soda fountain woosies before. Twiggy has most of them beat for body mass and musculature. Just my opinion, but you should take it for accurate because I am so seldom wrong. I'm also very modest.
  14. See? I'm not perfect after all.
  15. Junior in college and stocking shelves at Davis Food Mart, my after school job. I was stocking B-in-B canned mushrooms (I have no idea why I remember that) when the boss, Marv Davis, told us about it over the store's speaker. A checker named Joann broke down and sat down right on the floor sobbing, customers were crying and a few were praying. Marv kept the store open until the regular closing time and told us not to come in the next day. The next two days are still a blur but I remember every second from the time we heard about to murder and the next morning's breakfast.
  16. M-2 is a dream to shoot IF you hold yourself to five to ten shot bursts. Biggest problem is you can squirt through 30 rounds in a blink. I liked it, but I swapped it for an M-1928A1 Tommy gun which was traded one-for-one to a South Korean Colonel for an M-1A1 Tommy gun. My favorite piece while I was in country. Being a Battalion Staff Ordnance Supply officer was loaded with benefits. Most of the captured weapons in Two Corps South came through my department to be disposed of.
  17. Sorry. I was on R&R in Parris (Island) at that time.
  18. Manuel Dexterity.
  19. Oh, so now we get a monkey wrench thrown in.
  20. Come on out here and we can watch it together. I'll make popcorn and always have pie and ice cream standing by. Hope you don't mind friendly little dogs because I have one. By the way, bring folks with you. We can fit more in.
  21. I didn't recommend the British system. I never would. I'm simply agreeing with question of the the time lags and the stupidity of some of our antique reasons for keeping something going with no viable purpose behind it.
  22. See? You just made my point for me.
  23. Haven't seen it in years, but I'll grab it again in a year or so. It's absolutely hilarious, especially the last half hour.
  24. I prefer the M-1 (Because they wouldn't let me bring the M-2 I had in Vietnam home with me). I bought two M-1 carbines in about 1975 and thirty or more 20 round "banana clips". One for my pickup, one for my wife's coupe. They were accompanied by a 25 pound package of emergency gear and two 2 1/2 gallon water jugs each.
  25. Thay sounds like my father. I can even hear his voice.
