[Help me find a TV Sound Bar]

Using closed captions, when available, works for me, especially watching British tv. Using wireless bluetooth headphones is good if you can set them up to your system, added bonus is that it allows you to watch tv without bothering anyone else but does tend to isolate you from others watching programs with you. There are also settings on some tvs that alow you to decrease background sound and enhance voices. Sound bars are ok, but check closed caption first

[Disappearing plaques on California Historical Markers]

I remember when I was growing up in California, there were special highway markers on what was call "El Camino Real" ...the Kings Highway on highway 101. They represented and marked the original Spanish road between their missions. They were a kind of bell in a steel standard all along the route. Over the years they all disappeared. I don't really think they were salvaged, just used for peoples backyard decorations.

I think the original ones were brass, and well done. I think they changed them to steel in the 70s as needed to replace them, used to see the old ones for sale in antique stores. I haven't seen any for years on Highway 101 or El Camino real as the old 101 is known as as it passes through the various towns.

Yeah. I know they have to pay bills too, but no thanks.

[Pistol choice for duelists?]

Hands down the best is an 1872 Opentop. I thought i preferred the Navy grip of my 45 Colt version, but when my wife confiscated those i found the Army grips on my 44-40 Opentops worked just as well. Get the 7.5" version, as it points/balances better, you hardly even need to aim.

I shot FCD with mine for 7 yrs. As slim says, they come with Army and Navy sized grips, they clean up easily with ease from shooting BP, and they are the most natural pointing pistol I have ever shot. And you can buy new barrels and a cylinder and change calibers if desired. I have a 45 cal pair and shoot 45 Schofield bp loads, they are a fairly light pistol.

[Levis CEO "you don't need a gun to try on jeans"]

It's a request, not a mandate. So I could just say no. No to the request and no to the jeans, I've worn Wranglers since the 70s anyway
