Sweet! I briefly had a Smith 36 Chief Special I bought from a guy cheap. I really had little use for it since I have a 2 1/2 Smith 19 and those snub 38's generally kick like crap and not very accurate. Went dove hunting at a buddy of mines place and his cousin fell in love with it and kept warting me until I sold it to him. I made a few bucks and he still got a good deal. It was blue. We were both happy so it was a harmonious outcome!

Damn fine question. It's an answer to a question that I would never have asked.
I guess that comes under the JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT. Guess we've all done that sometime a time or three 🙃

They do go a little over the top. Some big coach (I THINK it was Bear Bryant) said act like you've been there before.

Another shot from Coleman not long ago. Crispy critters? If you listened to CW McCall you will understand

I spotted this strange critter behind a restaurant in Coleman Tx. Not sure if it's an alien or what. Maybe half Chinese and half Jamaican. 🤣

Dad's family was probably poorer, if that's possible. Always share croppers. He told of one house they lived in on someone's farm in exchange for clearing some land. Once done, they planted the new ground in turnips the first time. The farmer gave them an old sow too old to breed. Dad said all they had to eat that winter was turnips and fat back.
I've seen him many times just take a small pinch of sugar and put in his coffee. Not one grain too much or not enough. He said sugar was so expensive he tried to ween himself off of putting in his coffee. But he couldn't stop putting in this little pinch. Even though he could well afford all the sugar he wanted, he still just took a pinch.
My grandmother always liked the chicken back. I wonder how much she actually liked it or just ate it after she fed her husband and 5 kids. Guess I'll not know in this life. Actually I love the back too! Inheritance maybe.

Mom had things she collected. Shoes - she had a truck load of them. Most came from garage sales or marked way down in stores. I figured she grew up in the depression in a large poor family and if you had one pair of shoes, you probably only wore them to town. Poultry - she had everything from qual to turkey and between. All kinds of ornamental chickens. And flowers and shrubbery. It was a country tradition that women would gift plants to another women. Mom was no yard designer. She planted with no reason other than "here's a spot". I hated it as I had to mow around them. She'd tell "this rose bush came from Aunt Alma" and so on as if it ment something to me.
You may be my brother
. My parents were children of the Depression and poor as snakes, basically sharecroppers. I wouldn't quite say my mom was a hoarder but at least a packrat. She would wash and reuse foil and ziplock bags and had a good supply of food.
Her sister and I were talking about eggs one time and how they were supposed to be bad for you. Mabel just snorted. "When we were kids we'd have starved to death if we hadn't had eggs. A lot of times that's all we had to eat."

Scenes from the White Pass Narrow gauge railway, following The Trail of "98. Skagway, Alaska.
One of the favourite trips in my family. My Mother and Father, SWMBO and Big Red have made trips up there several times.
Big Red liked the hostesses!
A couple was getting off a cruise ship in Alaska. Walking off the wife was looking at all the big mountains. "WOW, I wonder what the elevation is here?" Husband looks off the pier down at the water. "Oh, about 5 1/2 feet."
