Years ago I had knee surgery in California and a friend bought me a sword / cane to use. It wasn't very sturdy but it was cool. I was showing it off at a party at a friends house and a lot of the attendees were police officers. That's when I found out that possession of a sword cane was a felony. I didn't get arrested as it was conveyed to me as "friendly advice" but I got rid of that thing pretty quickly after that. I am pretty sure they are still illegal in CA.
Isn't everything...?

Now... if he would reverse "O's" order that outlawed military weapons, sold or donated by the US to allies, to be re-imported by private groups....
Criminies ~ it even applied to 1870's vintage Argentine Rolling Blocks!

That's very cool, Joe!

Blasphemy!
Life without avocados is "like a day without sunshine."
I'm gonna plant me an avocado tree.

If a movie was made about the true Ca. politics and the crooks & scum in Sac.
No one would believe it.

What Lumpy sez. Pretty much what I've heard from a few legislators I've spoken with over the years...
For those Californians looking to secede: Bless your hearts!
Ha ha ha....!

Kinda long, but good... 'specially the second half. Made me hurt just watching!

When I bought my Series 80 twenty some years ago (alas, my only 1911), I swapped someone the flat for an arched ~ found it to be more comfortable. Thinking now that I might want to get another flat...

I always hated "call waiting." Annoying as heck to be talking to someone and have the phone 'beep' in my ear... I figgered if I'm talking to someone and somebody else wants to talk to me they can wait their turn ~ and the 'busy signal' let's 'em know I'm there. AND busy!

Ahi!
Gesundheit~!

Y'know, Joe, that first picture gives a whole new meaning to "Women marching for our rights!"

Ike, what might that software be and were can one find it...?

In these parts we refer to 'em as the "weather guessers."
Kind of on a par with the "news readers."

Ya know, Joe... I think he might've agreed wit'cha after he caught a glimpse...!

And remember... if in California, be prepared to prove it's fauxnie, and not real ivory.

So... can that fifteen pages be boiled down to a sentence or two...?

I think that's pretty cool. That rifle the one man is carrying in the 2nd photo down has one heckuva long barrel.
Picture's not that clear on my laptop, but it looks like a flintlock... and yeah it's long!
By the way ~ rough way to carry an animal. Couple of buddies and I tried it once as teenagers just to see how it worked - after all, that's how they did it in the movies! Uh... works best in the movies.

Where did you guys see this...? Link?

I am still trying to figure out why women want to look and dress like men?
I think women are much prettier and I thought, smarter. Maybe not so much.
But then again, probably nobody cares what an old man thinks, except the old man.
Such has been my observation.

A somewhat younger friend interviewed BB back in his college days... he told me that he asked BB if you had to be black to understand and feel blues.
BB responded with "No, son... it's what's in your heart no matter who you are."

Very cool, TS...! I could be jealous!
Allie, I love it!
Believe it or not, I was (re)introduced to blues by Sassparilla Kid... he discovered the genre when he was about 12, and took to it hard. He was REALLY upset when BB King came to town and he couldn't see him 'cuz the show was in a local casino. BB came back and performed at another venue when the Kid was 18 ~ I gave him a pair of the best tickets I could get.
At about age 14 the Kid had done so much research that he could pretty much identify any piece he heard and tell you the singer/player's history... he was totally immersed. Later branched out into jazz and bluegrass, but blues is still his passion.
Here he is back during high school... trying out a $17,000 replica of SRV's "Lenny."
And no, I didn't buy it for him. But I did give him another Strat, and he later built one.

Everyone knows that Davy Crockett died after being bayoneted and throwing a torch into the powder magazine to destroy it and thus prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
Yep.
I seen it on the screen with my own eyes.
