I bought my ex a Model 49 at a pawn shop. Really nice gun in almost new condition. Pretty damn accurate for a snub nose. I especially like the SA/DA function and that the shroud prevented the hammer getting hung up on most things.
I miss that gun.

They still find bombs and ordnance on the islands and area around Fort Desoto in St. Pete near Tierre Verde. During WWII the area was used as an aerial bombing range. About 40 years ago, a storm uncovered a 500 lb and some kids found it and uncovered it further. The kids didn't get hurt but either the bomb squad or the military decided to blow it up in place as they declared it too unstable to move. It blew up alright, left a large crater and broke windows nearby.

While taking my dog out to do his business, I noticed that there was some paper with writing on it in it.

This is the exact moment I knew I was old.
My youngest brother, who is 11 years my junior, came to visit me and we went to get some beer. While we were at the store, a cute girl came up and asked "Excuse me Sir, can I ask what your cute son's name is"? I really didn't know what to say so I just said "Matt".

Many people thought Jimi Hendrix’s version was disrespectful as well but at least it was musically correct! 😂😂🤣🤣
Jimi's version was not disrespectful in any way.
I don't think that Martha Reeves was trying to be disrespectful, but it was disgraceful. Hard to believe that the people that hired her, and her backup singers, had no idea that she, and the backup singers, were so terrible at their chosen profession. Sounded like a burlap bag full of caterwauling cats being dragged behind a truck.

It is Sophie Cunningham, basketball player. It seems she pointed at someone over a technical foul, and it went viral.
Fox News seems to make a big deal out of the WBA, Cunningham and Clark. Truth is that 99.99% of the US doesn't follow or watch WBA and could care less. If it wasn't for the media, no one would know who Cunningham is

I am fully aware that it was a work of fiction made for entertainment.
Also in the aforementioned work of fiction made for entertainment the boy that was the hero of the story was fully aware that it was illegal to fish in the reservoir.
My question was simply - why would it be illegal to fish in the reservoir? A reason.
Trespassing probably.
Same thing as fenced in right of way with "Authorized Personnel Only" signs.

Yes, there were three United's. Anyway, one of the calls was for a doorbell that wasn't working. The location was on a busy road and had a road sign that said "Gifted Psychic" in front the building which set back about 150'. I pulled up in front of the house, which was the office, got out of the truck and went to the door.
When I got to the door a woman threw open the door and exclaimed "You're the electrician!" I replied back "Heyyy, you're good!"
She didn't think it was funny.
I replaced the pushbutton, got paid and left.

I've seen Leon Russel twice.
I'm purt sure that TS cares more about his audience than Mr.Russel did at either 'performance'.

No one knows for certain, but from the limited research that I have done implies that the 5th card in his hand was a red queen...most likely the queen of hearts.
Also on this day, Aug. 2, 1945
The beginning of the rescue of Indianapolis survivors.
Rescue
Navy command did not know of the ship's sinking until survivors were spotted in the open ocean three and a half days later. At 11:25 on 2 August, a PV-1 Ventura flown by Lieutenant Wilbur "Chuck" Gwinn and his copilot, Lieutenant Warren Colwell, and a crew of three other men spotted the men adrift while on a routine patrol flight.[28] Gwinn reported his findings of up to 150 men back to his base at Peleliu. He immediately dropped a life raft, other life-saving equipment and radio transmitter. All air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene at once.
First to arrive was Gwinn's commanding officer, Lieutenant Richard Atteberry. He and his PV-1 crew relieved Gwinn's crew, ordering them to return to base because of very low fuel. Atteberry continued to circle the area and guided the arrival on scene by an amphibious PBY-5A Catalina patrol plane flown by Lieutenant Commander (USN) Robert Adrian Marks. Marks and his flight crew spotted the survivors and dropped life rafts; one raft was destroyed by the drop while others were too far away from the exhausted crew. Against standing orders not to land in the open ocean, Marks took a vote of his crew and decided to land the aircraft in twelve-foot (3.7 m) swells. He was able to maneuver his craft to pick up 56 survivors. Space in the plane was limited, so Marks had men lashed to the wing with parachute cord. His actions rendered the aircraft unflyable. After nightfall, the destroyer escort USS Cecil J. Doyle, the first of seven rescue ships, used its searchlight as a beacon and instilled hope in those still in the water. Cecil J. Doyle and six other ships picked up the remaining survivors. After the rescue, Marks' plane was sunk by Cecil J. Doyle as it could not be recovered.[29]
Many of the survivors were injured. All suffered from lack of food and water (leading to dehydration and hypernatremia; some found rations, such as Spam and crackers, among the flotsam of Indianapolis), exposure to the elements (dehydration from the hot sun during the day and hypothermia at night, as well as severe desquamation due to continued exposure to saltwater and bunker oil), and shark attacks, while some killed themselves. Other survivors were found in various states of delirium or suffered from hallucinations.[30][31] Only 316 of the 890 men set adrift after the sinking survived.[4] Two of the rescued survivors, Robert Lee Shipman and Frederick Harrison, died in August 1945.
Hundreds of sharks were apparently drawn to the wreck. After picking off the dead and wounded, they began attacking survivors. The number of deaths attributed to sharks ranges from a few dozen to 150.[32]
Ocean of Fear, a 2007 documentary film that was part of Discovery Channel's Shark Week, states that the sinking of Indianapolis resulted in the most shark attacks on humans in history, attributing the attacks to the oceanic whitetip shark species. Tiger sharks may also have killed some sailors. The same show attributed most of the deaths on Indianapolis to exposure, salt poisoning, and thirst/dehydration, with the dead being dragged off by sharks.[33]

No news media posted anything about the civilian not even Fox News! This guy is a hero for stepping up and taking action! 👍🇺🇸
I saw this on a news site in the Tampa area. Not much was said about the guy with the pistol that may have prevented the killer from further shooting.
