Went to the VA today to get one of my hearing aids repaired. The grounds around the clinic and hospital have several mature oaks. Almost every one was missing a major limb or two due to some straight line winds we had in NE TX a few weeks ago.

Just one wife, got it right the first try if a bit late on. But Man, hearing aids, I'm watching or buzz worms all the time. What really freaked me out, after 5 years as a County Forrester, my retirement gig, was out at the grill, seeing a big Bull Snake up 20' and climbing a tree behind the house. I suspect they can all climb? Had my wife keep an eye on it, got a shotgun, but I only shoot / kill venomous. Spooky to think of the years when I didn't ever look up.
As a kid poleing and paddling john boats up and down Missouri's creeks and rivers, you learn real quick that Water Moccasins like to drop out of tree branches that overhang the water.

The world could use a bunch more like Dale and Roy.
They lead by example by investing their own time and money rather than demanding that others do so.

Duelist or Double Duelist is only allowed to have ONE LOADED revolver in hand (not holstered or touching the prop where staged at a time.
Gunfighter can have TWO LOADED revolvers in hand but there is no requirement to do so.

What I was describing was shoot the right gun until it's empty and then start shooting the left gun.
I was thinking double duelist, but I believe double duelist you can only have one gun out at the time, so that would basically be a New York reload - shoot the right gun empty, holster it and draw the left gun.
Blackwater's explanation covers the rules for Gunfighter very well

I think that Double Duelist is both guns out, fire first gun dry, then fire second without holstering the first.
On 7/1/2025 at 11:06 PM, Alpo said:I thought the Duelist just meant you shot with one hand. So you could draw your right gun and shoot it till it's empty and then holster it, and then draw your left gun and pass it over to your right hand and shoot it empty, then give it back to your left hand and reholster it. Duelist
But double duelist, again I thought, we should shoot the right gun with your right hand and then you holster it and draw your left gun and shoot it with your left hand.
But I thought the only category you were allowed to have two pistols out at the same time was gunfighter.
Double Duelist is not a separate category. It is just a different way to shoot Duelist.
Double Duelist simply means that the shooter shoots each revolver with a different hand. Otherwise the rules for Duelist and Double Duelist are the same.
Neither Duelist nor Double Duelist can have two LOADED revolvers in hand at the same time. So a Duelist or Double Duelist can pull one pistol and shoot all 5 rounds. They can then pull the second pistol and begin to fire it without having to holster/restage the first pistol. However if there is a live round in pistol one and you draw and cock pistol two before you holster pistol one you earn a SDQ.
The only category that allows two LOADED pistols in hand at the same time is Gunfighter.

This is in a fiction story, and I know they can do whatever they want to in a fiction story.
I'm just curious if they could do this in real life.
We got a little girl. 9. No father in the picture. Just mama and her assorted boyfriends.
Then mama gets arrested. With no family to take her, little girl gets taken by child protective services. And they give her to Cindy and Dan as a foster kid.
Cindy and Dan and the little girl bond immediately, and Cindy and Dan want to adopt the little girl.
Can they do that? Can the state take and give the woman's kid away to another couple? I know they can take the kid away from the woman. Especially since the woman's in prison. But I thought the state had to keep her if they took her. Have her in CPS and put her in a foster home, yes. But adopt her out?
I can see that happening if the woman was dead, so the kid had no family nowhere, CPS could give her to this other couple that wants her.
And I suppose that if the mother had no objections to the child being adopted - gave up all rights to her - that would work.
But the state just taking her? Can they do that?
Depending on the circumstances yes the state can remove parental rights.
My aunt and uncle were very active foster parents so I have 4 cousins that are not blood relation.
Three of the four were eventually adopted by my Aunt and Uncle. The fourth they were never able to adopt (not for a lack of trying). She entered the family as a toddler and lived with my aunt and uncle up until she graduated high school. To this day she still refers to my Aunt and Uncle as mom and dad.

I figured you might have been routed to SubTropolis in Kansas City!! It’s a huge underground business district with roads, docks, and a truck terminal, all 150 feet underground!
“INSIDE THE WORLD’S LARGEST UNDERGROUND BUSINESS COMPLEX IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
Created from an abandoned limestone mine, the world’s largest underground business complex, SubTropolis, was developed by the Hunt Midwest in the 1960s with Ford, Russel Stover, and Pillsbury as its first clients.
Due to its underground location, SubTropolis is highly energy-efficient. The natural insulation provided by the limestone and the stable underground environment significantly reduces heating and cooling costs. With more than 55 companies and 2,000 employees, SubTropolis businesses span across industries, from animal health and food manufacturing to distribution, automotive, and pharmaceutical.
The Kansas City facility includes 16-foot-high ceilings and 40-foot-wide corridors, allowing easy movement for trucks and heavy machinery. It has its own network of roads, loading docks, and utilities, making it a fully functional industrial complex.”
And when you happen to pass one of the entrances you'd never know all that was there.

As I recall, this was the one of the reasons Representatives (Congressmen) were elected by citizens, but Senators were chosen by State Legislators, two per state. I still don't understand the rationale for having our two-per-state senators elected like our representatives are. I know the 17th Amendment changed Article 3 of section 1 of the Constitution, but I think it was better the way the Founders wrote it.
17 hours ago, Dapper Dave said:I fully agree - the Representatives were to represent the people, and the Senators were to represent the states. Direct election changed the dynamic in a bad way. If only the Founding Fathers had considered term limits, but a professional politician to them was almost unthinkable.
Here is the reason for the 17th amendment.

Unfortunately, in the long run, it has not made any difference. About the only thing that could possibly make a real difference is term limits. But that will never happen as a Constitutional Convention in today's political climate would lead to our destruction.

Warriors Reflection
They said I would be changed in my body.
I would move through the physical world in a different manner.
I would hold myself in a different posture.
I would have pain where there was no blood.
I would react to sights, sounds, movement and touch in a crazy way, as though I were back in war.
They said I would be wounded in my thoughts.
I would forget how to trust, and I would think that others were trying to hurt me.
I would see dangers in the kindness and concern of my relatives and others.
Most of all, I would not be able to think in a reasonable manner, and it would seem that everyone else was crazy.
They told me that it would appear to me that I was alone even in the midst of the people, and that there was no one else like me.
They warned me that it would be as though my emotions were locked up, and I would be cold in my heart and not remember the ways of caring for others.
While I might give meat and blankets to the elders, or food to the children, I would not be able to feel the goodness of these actions.
That I would do these things out of habit and not from caring.
They predicted that I might do harm to others without plan or intention.
They knew that my spirit would be wounded.
They said I would be lonely and that I would find no comfort in family, friends, elders or spirits.
I would be cut off from both beauty and pain.
My dreams would be dark and frightening.
My days would be filled with searching and not finding.
I would not be able to find connections between myself and the rest of creation.
I would look forward to an early death.
And, I would need cleansing in all these things.

It will feed the first round, but the carrier gets stuck on the second round and it locks up. Have to either push the second round back in to be able to lever the action and then I have to do that till it is empty, or I can take the magazine cap off and empty it that way.
Your existing carrier can be repaired. Gunner Gatlin can fix you up.

An hour and a half drive here in the Sonoran Desert is usually a straight line for 100 miles...in East Texas with all those farm roads, that might be no more than ten miles away!
On the other hand, I never met so many nice people as I did the two times we've been out there, and will will vacation there again probably next years - old high school friends that managed to buy adjoining plots of land out there.
Let me know when you are out this way. I'm about 2.5 hours from Henderson.

Pure rubbish as far as I am concerned. There is zero proof one way or the other that the Cyber Truck was inspired by Citroen's design.
By his own admission the design was inspired by vehicles in sify movies he watched as a kid.
I'm more inclined to believe that Citroen's car was inspired by those same 70's sify movies.
Anyone that has ever worked with stainless steel sheet metal is well aware of how hard it is to form by stamping it into dies with complex curves. That is why the Delorean DMC-12 was mostly flat surfaces and not a lot of curves.
