My sister always claimed she was allergic to anything she didn't want to eat that particular day. Obviously there are real allergies out there.

I just looked it up. Clear in this case means you can see light through it. No little bits or pieces of anything. No red or purple dyes. Nothing creamy looking. Beef chicken or vegetable broth. Apple juice, some sodas. Water of course. Black coffee or tea, no milk.

My doctor says broth coffee tea, nothing with red dye in it. Actually I've had 3 different doctors over the years. All the same. They have bounced around with the full 1 gallon jug of prep, half gallon or the soda sized bottle. But nearly always the 1gallon.

I used the better then boullionn to make cups of broth when I'm sick and it sounds good. Or prepping for a colonoscopy. You can make it the exact strength you prefer.

Remarkable memory powers
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Warden Callaway's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've seen stories on waiters with incredible memories. Not so much about remembering regular customers. One I recall was a guy who could take orders without writing anything and without mistakes bring everything to the correct diner. The kicker was that he was known for his ability and customers would try to confuse him, switching seats, exchanging shirts with one another also the glasses they were wearing. Supposedly he was always successful. Nearly 50 years ago I worked at a liquor store across the street from a mall. Many regulars from the mall would swing by. I still remember this salesman at Montgomery Wards that would stop by after work. I had his items at the register by the time he came in. Pack of Kent cigarettes and a tenth of Port wine. I can still picture him. -
I use the jars of better then boullion too. They have others besides the usual beef and chicken.

Ancient wolf reborn with dna

I don't know about weights but the height and length was much greater on the Dire wolf comparison I saw. If accurate it was a huge difference. -
Ancient wolf reborn with dna
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I don't know if they've mentioned it but I'm curious to see if these adult Dire wolves are as large as the comparisons to modern wolves that I've seen. -
Cataract surgery update
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Smokin Gator SASS #29736's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I'll see after my final visit and testing where I stand prescription wise. May only need readers. So far I do feel more sensitive to bright light outside. Previous to having the surgery checking around it hadn't been emphasized the improved colors. -
I had my second cataract surgery one week ago. Second one seemed easier. Final checkup next Friday. My distance vision seems very good. Will probably need reading correction and also a setup for iron sights. Optics work great with the distance vision. I'll get a new eye test and prescription. As far as improved color perception two things have been most noticeable. My doctor had me cover one eye then the other after my first surgery. His white coat was significantly whiter with the new eye. Now that I've had both done I went to fry eggs last night. We have had our own chickens for 25 years. The color of the yolk was much more orangish looking then before surgery. They used to look like that but over the years I guess they just looked plain yellow as the cataracts worsened. Hoping to get the all clear and resume shooting. So far so good.

Discontinued Glock models
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Lawdog Dago Dom's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
A lot of what they discontinued are models in specific colors, guns with adjustable sights. -
Too much celebrating?
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
When someone makes a once in a lifetime play or game winning play in a championship, sure, go crazy and celebrate. What I hate seeing is when a team is getting slaughtered and some player makes a pretty good play and starts thumping their chest like they're a bad man. Also the pre choreographed celebrations with multiple players. It's bad enough when top level professional athletes who are among the best in the world at their sports do it but then it filters down to highschoolers and little leagues, pee wee football. Mickey Mantle was mentioned. He said he'd already hit a Homer off the pitcher, what more did he have to do? No reason to rub it in running the bases. Barry Sanders simply handed the ball to the official after his best runs. -
If you read the info in the Hogdon cowboy manual before the data is listed it says the velocities listed are from pressure test barrels. It says that when fired through 4 5/8" barrels the average velocity loss is 175fps and from a 7 1/2" barrel 50fps. If using data for a load listed as 700fps you may actually be closer to 525fps. You'd need to chrono each load to see where you're at but a lot of cowboy shooters don't use chronos.

The media/journalists recently reluctantly admitted that they do not report accurately on news stories that don't support their agenda. Along with admitting that they serve up softball predetermined questions to those they support.

My reference was just that prior to the release of the movie they weren't considered as so highly desirable. Not that some collectors didn't look for them but interest dramatically increased after the movie.
