The solution to that is to quite sleeping. 😁

I gave up trying to sleep about 1970.
I don't worry about wrinkles, etc. but I got brown spots that make me look like a pinto.

Two new ones:
Have yourself a merry little cocktail.
All aboard the Bi-Polar Express.
Worth a giggle or two.

The one gun I regret getting rid of was a Colt 1917. It was in .45 acp with moon clips. I sold it to pay for a Colt SAA .I miss that gun, shoulda kept it.
I did the same thing with a 1917 S&W. Been kicking myself for about 40 years now.

How about a Browning Broadway 12 gauge?
I bought one in 1972 or 1973 when I was working a gun counter in a Brown's Sporting Goods store in Pekin, Ill.
Even with my employee discount it was outrageously expensive...about $400.00 if I remember right. Sold it a year later when I joined the Marines for about $50.00 more than I paid for it. I never fired it.

Years ago a friend had a huge recliner that was getting sort of ragged. He advertised in the paper with zero results.
His son Mark took it out to the driveway and put a sign on it saying "Mark, take this over to the office and put it in the lounge."
It was gone in less than two hours.

Way back in 1970 I was stationed at Iwakuni, Japan, a casual hour's walk from Hiroshima. I went up to "the big city" to buy Christmas gifts to send home to my family.
Hiroshima was absolutely running over with Christmas.....Santa was on every corner and in every store, elves and reindeer wandered all over the city, it was the world's center for Christmas sweaters and music belching from everyplace they could hang a loud speaker with most of the people singing along. All the people smiling and hollering greetings to all and every one on the streets laughing, window displays were wonderful and every window had one. Cars, trucks, trollies, trains and buses were covered with pictures and signs about Christmas, Fukaiwa (SP?) Department store even had a snow making machine in the sports equipment department. Mistletoe hung above every door for miles...............
............all in a nation with a population with less than 1% Christians.
One gigantic sales show.
I have never seen Christmas the same way since.

How many times can I use that? If it's good for every time I have been offended I'll buy Washington D. C., bulldoze it and we can start all over.

I am surprised that California has something like that. They NEVER tolerate anything stupid in their state. (In a pig's patoot they don't.).
The entire state has become a terribly expensive joke.

No dairy in my coffee. Had I wanted a milk shake I'd have ordered a milk shake.

Saw a drunk black bear in Wyoming one time. She had been eating some berries that had fermented on the vine. A Forest Ranger had been called and was there when we arrived. He was there just to keep the people away. Before we left, a Highway Patrol car came to help keep the idiots from hassling the bear and getting their stupid butts killed.
We found out later that we had missed a truck that came to take the bear away and move her someplace safer. I would have liked to watch that.
I have been told that this sort of thing happens a lot...bears, deer, even elk...but I never knew anyone who actually saw it.

My dad was an Arkansas and Kansas kid and always referred to them as Chevs or Chevies.

Seeing as I can neither receive nor respond to TEXTS on my little flip phone, I'm happy to say I don't know.
Aint technology wunnerful?

I never heard of the Altai and the place looks uncomfortably harsh and cold, but.........if all of their women are attractive as the ones in this clip I would certainly be inclined to pay the place a visit.

IF you had a choice, and not limited to the Springfield TRP or Prodigy, what would be your Christmas wish choice.
I've narrowed mine to the TRP .45 or Prodigy 9mm. And price is irrelevant.
Thanks

I'll stay with my almost stock (except for Novak 3 dot sights and double diamond walnut grips) Rock Island Arsenal 1911A1 because I know her and she knows me. No need to change out in mid-stream.

Well, it works and in a world where so little works it's almost refreshing. ;D

Every time I look at a gun and declare it be the ugliest gun ever, someone comes along with something to prove me wrong.
Good going, Joe.
