What do you think of ammunition as a present?
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
When I started shooting cowboy about 20 years ago, my eldest daughter bought me a box of .45 as a present. But they were .45 acp. How was she to know? I still have them around somewhere. -

I have a 92-year-old friend who bought an e-trike a year ago and it has been a huge thing for him. In the good weather he has sometimes gone 20 miles per day around town. He's an unusual 90+ year-old. Very healthy; physically more like a 72-year-old. Anyway, it's been a big life-enhancer for him.

Total Solar Eclipse, April 8

Definitely worth it if you're that close. Get right into the center of it if you can. Doesn't last long but it's unique... -
Could you NOT spend your kid's money?
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
In most states, parents have no rights to their children's money. Kids may get money from other sources than being child stars or inventors: inheritance from grandparents, funds from personal injury settlements, etc. Such funds need to be in guardianships or other protected accounts during the kid's minority. Often a parent is the guardian. If the parent takes money without court approval, this would be regarded as theft. Children have no legal obligation to support their parents, unlike vice versa. If there is a genuine household need, including a car repair that there's no money for, the court can be asked to permit a withdrawl of the child's funds if it is found that the child is benefitted. So, it would be inadvisable to take the money without such approval. -

Definitely worth a couple of motel rooms and a tank of gas.... -

It's an experience. Totality passed through the North Oregon coast a few years back and we were there. Very uncanny as the world literally falls dark like nighttime. It was worth it. Doesn't last long. And you need to be in the actual totality path. Just outside it's only a bit of twilight feel. -
Never have used one. I've had a beard since my early 20s. No mustache; I use disposables for neck and upper lip. They last a long time with those limits.

Why not all Bluebonnets in Texas are not blue
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 replied to Sedalia Dave's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Perhaps it's because what Texans call Bluebonnets are Lupines, and Lupines can come in many colors. -
America’s most dangerous actor is back in the news
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 replied to Buckshot Bob 's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
It will be interesting to follow when his trial comes in July. First, the jury won't be composed of people who have a serious animus against Baldwin personally, as many pards here do. They will likely be much more neutral. Second, he'll likely have a couple of high-profile beloved movie personalities testifying that on set the actor has a right to rely on the 'cold gun' assurance, as they have themselves many times in their own illustrious careers. Tom Hanks types-don't mean Hanks personally, but that type of well-liked and trusted star or stars. Third, high authority from the Screen Actors' Guild will say much the same. Fourth, fifth, etc: fill in the blanks (so to speak...). -

A detailed article on that specific subject in today's NYTimes: What the ‘Rust’ Shooting Trial Told Us About How Live Rounds Got on Set - The New York Times (nytimes.com) If you can't get to it, should be available from other online sources in a day or two. -

That will be up to a different jury. I'd be willing to put up several dollars that he'll be acquitted when it goes to trial. He has pretty good defenses, and just acquired another one with the conviction of the armorer. -
I never did it and I don't remember anybody else doing it in court. In depostions I may have heard it a few times. I never did there either-- why remind them? As for'strenuous' objections, yeah, you do hear that a lot. But not nearly as much as, "I'll be brief, your honor"....

His testimony was in the armorer's trial, not Baldwin's, which hasn't happened yet. -

She put the live round into the revolver; it ultimately came down to that when all was said and done.
