During an interview with Bill Withers, the interviewer pointed out the "Ain't No Sunshine" was not proper use of the English language. He replied "I know, I know, I know, I know...."

LaPierre will fight tooth and nail to retain his position as the "king" of the NRA. Why, you ask? For a $2,000,000++ salary + perks, most people would fight for their "job". The difference between "most people" and LaPierre is that "most people" don't have multiple clouds of corruption and funds misappropriation hanging over their heads.
LaPierre only cares about two things...himself and money. If he actually cared about the NRA, gun owners and gun rights, he would have stepped down years ago. Instead, he and his cronies have spent tens of millions of YOUR donations/membership fees on legal fees in a (so far) successful attempt to retain their leadership titles and salaries.
Sadly and ominously, the NRA is a shadow of it's former self. For the NRA to once again become the leader in 2nd Amendment advocacy, LaPierre has to go...and go NOW before it's too late to repair the damage done by LaPierre and his pals.

The last series I watched on Netflix was Narcos/Seasons 1, 2, 3 and Narcos - Mexico/Seasons 1, 2, 3.
Narcos is an excellent account of bringing down Pablo Escobar and the Columbian Cartels
Narcos - Mexico is a great account of the beginning of the Mexican Cartel wars and finding the killers of DEA agent Kiki Camarena
Although both have a few historical inaccuracies, they are both worth watching, not just for entertainment but for an historical insight into how entire countries can be controlled by ultra rich drug lords/cartels and the struggles of clandestine "War on Drugs" campaigns on foreign soil.

Great movie. Just one itchy trigger finger on either side would have resulted in almost everyone on both sides dying.
I think the Russians would have gotten the worst of it. The sailors with automatic firearms would have been no match for the first volley from the town's citizens
I dunno about that. Really depends upon what the script said.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an arm, then it one armed fun and game.
Seriously, I'm with the others if it's a spring...get a professional and observe what they do...you'll see that you didn't have the proper tools or the experience to do the job correctly, no offence meant.

Notice it is following the medic camel closely.
I wonder if the 120mm mortar camel is a two humper?
Is the two humper is also camelflauged?

SD Joe, you come up with the most incredible stuff. I watched the pics for over an hour but have no idea how many you posted. Some depict the most horrible scenes of WWI. Thanks for posting, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
DItto on this.
I woke up at 3:30 this morning...uuugh. Spent about a 1.5 hours looking at the pictures and reading the details. Grim stuff for sure.
Thanks Joe and HNY.

Around here it's dense fog in low lying areas, which kind of makes sense since Florida doesn't have any high lying areas...except Tallahassee which just lies.

Retired NASCAR driver Cale (Caleb) Yarborough has passed away at the age of 84. He was a driver in NASCAR from 1957 to 1988. During that period of time, he racked up 83 wins, including four Daytona 500's, three consecutive NASCAR Championships, a ton of top 10's and many pole positions.
He was a short, fireplug of a man who was known for being able to wrestle an ill handling car into submission. He is also remembered for the infamous fight with Bobby Allison at the end of the 1979 Daytona 500 after crashing with Donnie Allison while leading the 500 on the last lap.
I enjoyed watching him race throughout the years. Thanks for the many exciting races and racing moves.
RIP Mr. Yarborough

During my first midlife crisis in the 1980s (yeah, so much fun I've had several!) I had a couple of sessions with a family counselor. One of the most important things I learned was mental health depends on complete honesty, with yourself and others. Political Correctness depends on forcing yourself to react to stuff in ways that you would not normally react. Therefore PC fosters mental illness.
You may quote me.
Fortunately for me and others, I'm completely honest with myself and others. It might be unfortunate for some others, but I'm not known for "political correctness" and say it the way I see it. Hasn't always worked out in my favor to be myself, but that's the way it is.

I think I read that the primers, fuses and charges were for 155mm rounds. You know, the rounds that the US are selling are already VERY low due to "gifting" (grifting) them to Ukraine. Now we're "selling" what's left to Israel.

First time I ever even heard of seat belts was in 1967 when Daddy had them installed in our 1962 Studebaker Lark. And then he got it up to 60 MPH and slammed on the brakes to see if they worked.
They must have. I don't recall any of the five of us going through the windshield.
My Step Grandmother had a VW Beetle. I was in the front seat, unbuckled of course, when she go into a wreck at an intersection in Fort Myers and crashed into a pole on the side of the road, I hit the windshield, breaking it with my hard head. Other than a little bit of blood on my head, I was fine.
Remember when your parents would do the ole "toll gate arm" to stop kids from going forward during heavy braking? I do. A lot of good that would have done in a crash.
A Sheriff on tv a few days ago talking about a crash on I75 a little north of Tampa in which a family of 4 were killed in when they were thrown from the pickup truck a rollover crash. Said that in a rollover crash that un-belted people look like clothes in a dryer. Looked like the truck had flipped once, a highly survivable crash if they'd been wearing their belts.
I'm a believer in seat belts, although I didn't used to be. Never wore them until I witnessed first-hand the results of a person going headfirst thru the windshield of a car and smashing into an large oak tree. Oak tree - 1, the guy with no face and little left of the top of his head - 0. I've worn the belts ever since, even riding in the back seat as a passenger.

Seat belts did exist in the 1950's. Evidently, they were an option. I remember my Great Grandmother's 1954 or 55 Ford having seatbelts in the front seat. I don't remember anyone using them though.

It's the leg room, isn't it?
I'd say the bench seat has something to do with it also.

Might have to do a check to make sure that there isn't a .38 Chiefs Special in there...just to be on the safe side.
