People live longer now than in 1957. I would stop complaining about fat people. One day a fat person might save your life.

I cannot figure out this gun she’s wearing. Anybody?

I found this photo. I have no idea where to get one of these. I just thought it was cool.

It must be Monday… Where is this?

Reality Tough, huh?

Hmmm…Great minds…

A coworker of mine was wearing a suit on a work related flight from Los Angeles to Sacramento. He had this tie clip that looked like a Colt 1858 revolver. He got treated like he was a big threat with that little tie clip. He was interrogated long enough to miss his flight. He had to wait 2 or 3 hours for another flight. The tie clip was a gift from his kids. The TSA brain-trust took it. I found another one at Knott’s Berry Farm and bought it for him so his kids wouldn’t know it was taken from him. Knott’s Berry Farm is an amusement park that used to be based on an Old West theme.

A friend of mine coming back from Mexican had his van inspected at the Mexican checkpoint in Tijuana. He went to Mexico to buy leather products to sell at a swap meet. A Mexican police officer told him to open the rear of the van and lo and behold there was one .22 LR cartridge. They unloaded his van and stripped it. Seats, panels, everything. They found nothing else. He was given a $100 fine, I believe and told to go home and don’t come back. He was told if they had found more ammo he would have gone to jail for a long time. He had to put his van all back together by himself and someone lifted his tool box. He never went to Mexico again. Me, I would have never gone to begin with. Too many horror stories about Mexico. EXIT: Also, I never use range bags or backpacks for travel. That is just asking for trouble.

I find it humorous that the company selling that latch on Amazon is called “Vintage Technologies”.

That’s a shame.

Thank you! Thank you very much.

I saw a metal tool box that someone made into a portable grill somewhere online recently. I am going to have to go looking for it.
