I perhaps future games will have Men; Women and maybe "Other"?
Or will the OIC create events for the other 67 genders?

Bettin' there's gonna be a bunch of pagers getting chucked.
Or at least taken apart for a looksee.

Yeah, that's kind of scary, when you think of it. It's unlikely Mossad was able to plant charges in all those devices, since the user would be keeping it on themselves. The alternative theory is that Mossad figured out a way to make an ordinary pager or phone go BOOM!
That's frightening, given the criminal doings by hackers on the internet.

Interesting forgotten talents.
When I was a kid we went to a place called Meadowcroft Village in Pennsylvania. It was a living museum where people dressed in garb of the 1700’s and demonstrated life in the time of the Revolution. They demonstrated soap making, cooking, candle making, black smithing, animal husbandry, tailoring, shoe making, carpentry and other assorted tasks. It was quite interesting.
It was interesting how they made Lye from wood ashes and mixed it with beef tallow to make bars of soap.
I recall one girl asking how they made makeup so the women could be pretty. They actually had some rudimentary makeup on display but I recall the lady giving the lesson saying “Proper women and young ladies did not look at make up as being necessary. Most makeup was worn by ‘Ladies of the Evening’ and tavern wenches.”The responses by some of the girls in my group were pretty funny as it was obvious the lady speaking was inferring they might have nefarious or tawdry roles in society by wearing makeup.
I was most interested in the gun shop and the Blacksmith’s shop.
When we went back there a couple of years later the gun shop was closed up for repairs.
It seems things have changed there, but it is still open and has been expanded. I think my wife and I need to go there one day soon.
If you ever get up this way, try to see Upper Canada Village in southern Ontario or Fortress Louisburg in Nova Scotia. Fortress Louisburg alone is worth a trip up here.
Both sites are Living History during the summer.

I dunno, looks like all your water is freezen'd 🙃
That's when the hunting is really good.
The rut is still on and it's easy to find sign and tracks.
We would still be using our boats in this snow.
You just keep the impellor, on the motor, in the water and it won't freeze.
I have a 14 foot, high transom YUKON by Princecraft, with a 15 HP Long shaft Johnson motor

Well, I'm not as GRUMPY as I could have been.
Took the side plates off my SxS Open Hammer to figure out why my right barrel was misfiring.
Unscrewed the firing pin holding nut and carefully pulled out the firing pin and the tiny little rebound spring only to promptly lose it somewhere on the floor when it apparently rolled under one of the freezers I use as a cleaning station.
HAHAHA Fooled ya, ya little )(&%&^$R. I have spares!!
Off to the range and ran through a dozen or so rounds and all seems OK for the match Saturday.
Maybe I can get better than last place this time.
Even hammered a few out of the Glock 19 and found out why some cartridges don't want to feed.
Cracked a Moosehead while sitting here and all is well at the C.L.Kid Ranch.
So stay off the lawn!
