I was still in the Air Force, stationed in Spain when that happened. The base had Armed Forces Television. Clips of that ran for days and usually resulted in cheers.

Well, I was gonna give you the benifit of my couple of decades experience in the oil industry, but jack pretty much summed it up. We are just using it a heck of a lot faster than ole mother nature can make it. Interestingly enough, oil refining went from simple distillation (boiling the crude and al...

Taft? Wow, did you stop at the Cookhouse for a meal? My usual feeding spot when business hauls me up that way.

One of my favorite .22's. A natural for us southpaws. As to loading and extraction, I assume you mean putting the rounds into and extracting them from the cylinder. If you mean that it is difficult to open and close the action, it may need to be disassembled to throughly clean the pivot joint. You'r...

Nothing new equipment wise, but instead of doing any scouting, I'm letting the older boy do it. He lives up north. This year the youger boy and I will ride his coat tails. About time he earned his keep.

Cute eight year old girl. And you think you have a chance one "NOT" being twisted around her little finger. Sir you are delusional. God made little girls for that express purpose. Although I had boys of my own, the neices figured me out early on. As sad as it was to see what they did to th...

Having watched Ken Burns' "The War", plus a couple first hand, his wound doesn't look like much. I'm sure it hurt, but as bullet wounds go, doesn't look so bad. On the other hand, with antibiotics...

Let's see. Granny's 85. Means she was born in 1923. Survived the depression, and WWII. One of that wonderful generation to whom we own an unpayable debt. Ladies of that era cold be tough as nails when needed. I sure wouldn't want to try her. Hopefully between granny and daddy this kid will be put on...

Jeepnik, The term Arkansas means south wind and is derived from a name used by some Native Americans to describe the Quapaws, an early tribe in the area. The French Jesuits pronounced the tribe name Oo-gaq-pa, which the Algonquins pronounced Oo-ka-na-sa, and Marquette wrote Arkansoa; LaSalle wrote ...

Jeepnik, You can keep your "cans butt" out of " Ar can saw". Say Arkansas how ever you wish but if it isn't "Ar can saw" you will be wrong. From the River Valley on I-40. Clarksville AR. Yes, sounds great, but WHY? Just figured some folks from the two states might know.

Some times it can take years to gain what is called "work experience". Basically, companies want a degreed person, but don't want to pay for it. So they pull out the "experience" card. When I was a younster, I had a plan. Do a hitch in the military, get out, start college while a...

Maybe someone can explain this to me. We call Kansas "cans butt" but we call Arkansas "ar can saw". Shouldn't it be "can saw" or "ar cans butt"?

I would include Ansel Adams in this bunch. No one had a better eye for seeing how photo would come out than he. While he did photograph other areas, those of the western US are probably the best known.

Sadly the poor grammar in the "ad" above is a pretty accurate interpretation of the speach patterns and education level of most of the TSA folks at LAX. When the TSA hired after 9-11, they needed bodies. Educational requirements were very lax (pun intended). For that matter, apparently the...

I used to take some jobs on the gulf coast. No more. I've pretty much decided that if it isn't in the SoCal/Southern Nevada/ Arizona area, I'll pass. The cost of the travel eats into profits, and the hassle into sanity. Driving isn't all that fun, but I'll just arrange to get there the day before an...

Addendum #1 to "Air Force". When everyone else is in trouble, pinned down and getting slaughtered. Cruise in at the desired altitude and destroy enemy forces. Never expect a thank you. The ground troops will come up with a story of just how bravely the got themselves out of the mess. Adden...

Also, bet "Sixguns" and "Big Bore Revolvers". More good information in these two than should be allowed. Read, wait, read again, repeat. Like any book with good info, you can't absorb it all the first time.

Ease into it. Read one word at a time. That way it doesn't seem so overwhelming.

Relax, you'll get used to it.

I agree with all but the one about burning the flag. There is a proper place time and method to destroy old flags by burning. But burning one in protest should be a capital offense.

We went to visit my Great Grandmother in Harrelsville, NC in the late 1940s and while my Sister was using the outhouse, she saw a snake :lol: -- or so she claimed. My Dad never found it. Anyway, for the rest of the visit, my Sister refused to use the outhouse and after holding it for as long as she...

Fairly regularly. In the service, I think the base hospital kept a list of who had what types, and what their job was. Seems firefighters are usually pretty easy to lay their hands on. So whenever they needed A- they came a callin. Did you know that way back when, the military didn't have the same r...

Shooting seems to be very fascinating for many Japanese. It probably due to the lack of it in their home country. I've introduced a number of vistors and immigrants from Japan to shooting. Without exception, they enjoyed it. A couple have become regulars at the range. I've heard that some Japanese t...

I am not one of those who see society crumbling and am stocked up to survive a social collapse. I am much more sanguine about American and human nature in general. The survival folks have a very dark view of the future that I do not share. That side, I do recall some of the urban riots that take pl...

In most situations, it's likely that people will do what people have done recently - in China after the earthquake, Myanmar's cyclone, Katrina, etc. - they bury the dead, dress the wounded and help each other overcome the catastrophe. Total breakdown of society would result in massive loss of life ...

Here's something you might consider. I run my business out of my house (consultant). So I get quite a bit of stuff shipped here via Fedex. I'm on a first name basis with my delivery guy.

Okay, first alot is determined by what causes the uproar, and where you are. Now if it's an all out nuke attack beginning WWIII, I have no worries. I'm vapor. But say it's a natural disaster. Where I live, that would most likely be an earthquake, and possible tsunami. Well the house is as quake prep...

I've had this problem with both snails and slugs. Don't usually feed the cat outdoors, but when I do, I sprinkle some salt on the ground aroung the dish.

No more snails or slugs. The cat may lick his paws later, but to no detriment of the cat.

Many years ago, as a young airman, I "volunteered" (don't say it I know, never volunteer) to work a fire up at "Rim of the World", near Big Bear Lake California. A week later I had learned "never volunteer". Fast forward five or six years and I had an chance to work for...

Pete, the flight pay wasn't for those flights, it was for the other ones. It and "combat" pay have one thing in common. The actual condtions that must be met to receive the pay, aren't worth the pay. But we were young and not so bright back then. We looked at it as free money for beer.
