[Be careful what you say...!]

I'm reminded of the time in San Francisco (where else?) when I walked into the break room at work... three female-type persons were seated at a nearby table; I smiled, and said "Good morning, ladies..."

 

At which one of 'em turned, glowered at me, and snapped "We are WOMEN! We are NOT 'ladies'!"

 

I smiled again and responded "Well then... I reckon you aren't at that," and walked away.

 

 

Did you get talked to by HR for that?

[How?]

Rifles with bullet buttons for the quick swap of ammunition magazines

 

 

 

Dec. 21 was the last day to purchase a gun with bullet buttons, because of the 10-day wait for a background check. He said he’d shot his first deer several months ago, and wanted to expand his arsenal.

(likely he has one rifle - that is an "arsenal" now)

We did a bit of both.

This year we are going to go by the Old Calendar to "do Christmas" in the sense of the gift giving and such. We will hit Matins tonight and the Liturgy tomorrow morning for the actual celebration of the Nativity..

We got .86" of rain here today. Supposed to be more tomorrow. Snow level is predicted to be down to 3000 feet, maybe a little lower.

Yosemite got snow today.

I understand all that, Sedalia, but how do they know who is a seabee and who is a pilot. They don't have ratings on

their uniforms. Do they all just get together at the bar and decide what and who is going to do something?

 

 

That one is simple - a pilot lets you know he is a pilot within 15 seconds.
