Alls I know comes out of William H. Brophy's big book of Marlins. I keep it to the left side of my recliner.

Walmart doesn't circulate $10s or $50s. You can pay with them but they don't give them out in charge. I don't know what they do with them when they get them. Mary asked for two $10s for a $20. They gave her 4 $5s. No, I want $10s. Go try the service desk. In the old days, cashier would recite the amount, start handling out the small change first, stateing the added amount, the on until total is reached. Now you get change dumped in your hand.

When I was a young man, I went in for a hearcut. In the chair was a big man (overweight) in the chair getting a short cropped haircut. He was accompanied by what I assumed was his dad. You could see a large crater in his head. After a bit, he pointer to the hole and said with much difficulty, "Don't ride motorcycles." I've taken his advice.

Big medicine. Trying to add up how many I have. One Winchester High-wall. One Uberti High-wall. One Pedersoli Sharps. On Trapdoor Springfield. One Marlan 1895. I think that's it.

I'm on my third cardiologist in 20 some years. Twice I've thrown the pills away and quit going to them. I couldn't function with all the side effects. Second doctor prescribed statin and metformin and something else. The statin would have killed me if I hadn't stopped taken it. Awful side effects. I only took half (one pill) of the metformin but it made my life hell. No matter how I took it, with food, empty stomach, half in morning and half at bedtime, I still fought miserable level of constipation. Now both those drugs have been taken off the market. I'm wondering if the six prescriptions I'm taking now will someday be banded.

I've been medicated to death the last two years or so. Been taking the baby asprian and getting bruised up and down my arms and hands. I found out the asprian was the main reason. I stopped taking it for several months and my brushing cleared up. Dr. wasn't happy. Told me to put up with the bruises and get back to taking the asprian. You can find anything on the WWW. Some say asprian does no good. Others say it dose more harm than good. I feel like if it does this to my skin, what's it doing on my insides?

An Our Gang I hadn't seen before.

They told me not to take one of my pills that morning and not to eat or drink after midnight. Had a guy that said he was an anisteseoligest give me the shots. The only thing left is paying up. Still not gotten bill. Don't know how much Medicine will cover.

I've wasted time thinking about how hot you could load for the Ruger Old Army with conversion cylinders. But why bother? I have a Smith 29 in 44 Magnum. I have a three screw Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt. I don't need this power in a handgun. Just take a rifle and be done with it.

Not really so much of a joke. In Amish communities, they have many one room schools. They don't run busses. They don't get dropped off in air-conditioned minivans. They walk. We were in Amish country one time when school let out. About 20 kids streamed out and raced up the blacktop barefoot! One little girl had shoes but laces tied together and slung over her back.

My cataract surgery is completely done. I don't know why but they local eye doctor had to see my one more time. I figured just a follow-up check to make sure there were no problems. I was wrong. They did another full examination. Why? To see if I need glasses! I passed the tests easily. Vision is perfect arms length to infinity. Up close, I still struggle. I thought that would go away. But doctor said no. But I could get 1.5 power readers and use them when I needed them. Works perfect. Slide them down my nose and look over them at TV and such. Everything is so vivid and clear. Best upgrade I've ever had.
