A 1939 Gary Cooper movie, The Real Glory. Philippines in 1906. Philippine Constabulary vs Moros, and a cholera epidemic. Dozens of Krags, 1892 Colts, and an 1883 Gatling (they could have used a Maxim though). And a young Broderick Crawford. Pretty good film.

Over the centuries, clothing has evolved and devolved. From Roman robes to Elizabethan tights and ruffs. The 20th century must be the most rapid and radical stylistic changes ever. Especially since WW2. I was raised to dress neatly when going to town. My mother dressed like Harriet Nelson. White gloves and pearls when grocery shopping. Nowadays, the styles are geared toward comfort. It seems this had led the overall population to assume there are no guidelines. No telling what the next century will bring. I won’t be around to see it. I’ll just continue to do me. 🤪

🤣

A very good series. Not just a show about zombies. It’s about the humanity and inhumanity of people faced with the apparently impossible task of surviving in a changed reality.

I’m Not Dead Yet aka The Old Man Blues 😁 I wish I had more energy But I’m just too damn old Thats why nowadays My feet get so damn cold But I’m not dead yet So I’m feeling kinda bold No I’m not dead yet I was almost, once or twice I can tell you here and now It really ain't that nice Why just the other day I walked into a door I bumped my knee and I stubbed my toe And I fell down on the floor When I stood up quick I hit my head On the liquor cabinet I screamed so loud my neighbors thought I was playin a clarinet But I’m here to tell you anyhow I’m not dead yet When I was a younger fella I did some crazy stuff Joined the army for a coupla years But that was quite enough Jumped outa big old airplanes Climbed a mountain top or two Almost got my ass blown up I swear to God that’s true But I’m here to tell ya now I’m not dead yet Now all you young folks listen As you ramble on through life Just keep on movin forward Through all the trials and strife And when you’re old and gray And the young folks look at you Just smile and look em in the eye And say just like I do. HEY! I’m not dead yet 😉

Walmart has taken the fans and air conditioners off the shelves. Space heaters and halloween candy has appeared. If Walmart sez it’s Fall, it’s Fall. 90°+ or not!🙄🤣

Ferris was a no show today. Out doing raven stuff I reckon.

I was standing on the drop zone outside Bad Tölz Germany in 1968 having just hit the earth and was taking off my chute harness, Suddenly, with a scream, two Luftwaffe F104s buzzed us at about 100 feet. People hit the ground, leaves dropped off the trees, chickens in town probably stopped laying. It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen! Lt Col Beck, the C company commander threw a fit. Normally a pretty calm guy, when he threw a fit it was well thrown. Don’t know if the pilots were ever identified or not.😁😁👍

It’s the Saloon. 🤣

I looked west and then east. Maybe the best one I’ve ever seen. Lasted 35 minutes first as a single then a double! 😍

I saw the Simpli Safe security system commercial. You know, the one where the guy is watching the security monitor and the alarm goes of as the two burglar dirtbags enter the yard. He sternly says, “STOP. THIS IS SIMPLISAFE! YOU ARE BEING MONITORED AND RECORDED. I’M REQUESTING POLICE DISPATCH” and they run off like their asses are on fire. I’d like to be the guy with the monitor and the microphone. But when the alarm started whooping I would have difficulty sticking to the company’s mandatory script. I don’t think I’d even say STOP. Probably just “BAZINGA or BOOGA BOOGA”, followed by a banshee scream, some automatic fire sound effects from my phone and stream of profanity that would blast the leaves off the backyard trees, and peel the pint off the pickett fence. I’d have the volume up to eleven. The neighborhood pets would be evacuating as fast as they could run, despite their little shock collars going off. When the bosses came and reviewed the incident, the blown out smoking speakers, cracked windows, bent rain gutters, scorched patio furniture, I’d be out of a job. Oh and the bourbon bottle. I think it would be worth it though.

I used to have a few vintage German made wire spring models yeas ago. Same problem. Try to email Blade HQ in Salt Lake city. They might be able to help. https://www.bladehq.com

I have a number of auto knives. Both frame and a is locks. Bokers, Bucks, Kershaws, Benchmade, Gerbers, etc. only the OTF models like the John Wick Microtech have coil springs.

Sausage gravy. 😋

Colt, Smith, Sig

They are going to be permanently modified to semi-auto only.

I’ll start dressing more appropriately. Perhaps more will appear. 😉

That’s his “Howdy” posture. The only time he does that is first thing in the morning.

You rarely see them around here. Crows over in the ag fields, but I’ve probably only seen a half dozen ravens in 20 years.

Not a pet. Just a friend. Sometimes a jerk Come to think if it, I might be the pet.🤔

True

Ahh yes the Anatolian Hypothesis. I had one for breakfast yesterday
