Staging would seem to be the answer. Than again you could always wear your gunbelt around your thighs like some do these days.

That's why we have IPA, India Pale Ale. In the empire days, the Brits would ship beer to India and it would spoil enroute. They figured out that if you add more hops, it lasts longer. So the hoppier the beer, the longer it will last.

I second all of the above. R.I.P.

Ah, you know, jobs, roots, friends, family, stupid shit like that.

I live in Kern County and don't get electricity from PG&E, but from SCE. SCE has warned that there may be rolling blackouts that last an hour. If they turned off the power for two days where I live, the dead bodies would pile up pretty high.

Worked his tail off and knew his craft inside-out. A tough hombre to beat.

Well, it does make it less pedestrian.

It certainly is weird. I can't get interested. But I do like the 3-batter rule.

I know it well. It's just a hop and a skip from out here in the desert.

Yep. Before what were then called "prime time soap operas" came along, Dallas and Dynasty being prime examples, most series episodes were stand alone stories. Mavbe a two-parter now and then, but not often. Today, most dramas are continuing stories, and a season-ending cliffhanger seems to be a requirement. I think HBO started the tradition of taking a year off between seasons with The Sopranos.

The little head does all of his thinking.

And apparently that isn't going to happen until June.

Cue spooky music.

Reminds me of how you get on "The Price is Right." The stupider you act in the line out front, the better your chances for getting on the show. So probably the best thing for a shooter to do would be jump up and down and say, "Oh my god, I can't believe it. Oh my god. Oh my god."

If you talked about shooting BP in your rifle and shotgun I missed it, but if you're not, you don't need to sign up as a frontiersman. Go cowboy or wrangler or duelist or whatever. That way, if you get feeling overwhelmed and say, "Fellas, I'm done," I expect you will find yourself up to your elbows in loaner guns and ammunition.
