The nice lady confirming my identity ( yeah, Missouri does that!) asked why I was voting early. I replied through my Covid mask, ”I know it’s hard to believe but I’m over 65.” She grinned and said, “I’m glad you didn’t say you are old!” (She had to be my age.) In and out in 10 minutes.

Well, I believe he still holds the World Records in all three BP Categories, does he not?

6 shots of .38 Special from a vintage S&W Model 10 should convince any 4-legged or 2-legged coyote to seek easier prey!

How incredibly cool!!

Soft Arkansas stone followed by a smooth steel for regular straight edges, Spyderco sharpener for serrated edges.
