How long do you keep cartridges loaded with APP before firing them? I found about a dozen that were at least seven years old. They all fired, but every case split.

Milwaukee's favorite custard stand is Leon's. Once you have their hot fudge sundae with toasted buttered pecans topped with a handful of cherries, you will be hooked for life. Every president who has visited Milwaukee has eaten at Leon's

In Latin the prefix "in" is an intensifier, as in "flamable" and "inflamable". Both mean basically the the same thing. Through usage words change conotations. Decimate meant to reduce by one tenth, now it has come to mean total destruction.

I read a short story in a magazine a long time ago. The hero, carrying a 1911, was struck by lightning? and was transported back to early Scandanavia. He helped the tribe who befriends him to fight off their enemies. He used his 1911, which resembled a hammer. The recoil made it look like he threw it and then caught it again at the top of the recoil. Thus grew the mythology of Thor and his hammer. .

Old age is creeping up on you if you remember when jeans came in only one length. All the kids had folded up cuffs. Your mother would yell at you if you let them drag on the ground. Did your mother make you put a dime in your "penny" loafers in case you had to make an emergency phone call?

My favorite is one where Matt get taken advantage of because of his good nature. He goes out to a small ranch/farm to arrest the owner. The man says he will willingly go back but winter is coming and he needs to make sure that wife will be OK. He needs to weatherproof the house, split fire wood and enough other chores to fill the episode. And of course Matt is talked into helping him. The man knew he was innocent and had a good alibi but decided to play a little con game with Matt.

Cheyenne Ranger and I had been shooting USPSA for about 10 years. He started talking about something new, cowboy shooting, he was trying and said that I might be interested. He kept after me for two years and said I should bring my wife out just to watch. When I got there people handed me guns, ammo and leather. It was FUN. I thought that there was no way my wife would go for four new guns and everything else I needed. But she was talking to the other wives about the big shoots and the fancy dresses. By the next month I had all the guns and leather. Thank you Cheyenne.
