All this talk today about indians. I got thinking about a indian friend I had back in wisconsin 46 years ago. Thought I would share the story. Lets call him ben. That wasnt his name. I was a foreman on a very rough job treating old utility poles for groundline decay and traveled all over the states ...

Dedicateing a new wing to the local tradeing post? Probley a pow wow, really.

I been gone a couple hours. Walmart and ate at denneys. At denneys quite a number came in. I was laughing as I was reminded of this thread. The wife put me on the spot, shes good at that! We were surrounded by a small tribe of them. She asked me what I was laughing at. I didnt want to get scalped an...

You ever look close at one of the luger holsters? Its a two handed operation just to open the lid! They really are a box with a cover and strap. Inside they even have another string to pull to lift the gun! Really you almost think they are a exicution tool for etreminating polish!

No, why should I be kidding? Just fact. I am huge myself! I live at cedar city utah. You can go to walmart any day of the week here and see what I am telling. No insult meant. It`s just what it is. You would be very hard pressed to find one skinny one out of 10. I dont know why, but these piutes als...

I was born april 1941. This must also be about 1955 to 1957.

This is a 1906 german commercial lugar in 7.65 with a ideal shoulder stock I used to own. Would you belive it came from the same area! I bought it 40 years ago from a lockheed engineer that was a early well known pioneer in radar. Col. gary kubasheck. I belive he lived in pasadena! I sold it long ag...

Times must be better today. All the indians in my area go at least three spins on the scale! I cant see a fat one on that picture!

Boggels my mind!

Wow, butt I would watch my six!

No way in their 40s or 50s OTH, I say mid 70s. I do agree people did age faster, but not THAT faster? I know my grandma looked like geronimo though!

Only read pisgahs reply and fully agree!

The spanish version of richard boone. Almost as pretty too!

When I was a kid 50 years ago I worked for the national park service in tent camps. The first thing you learned was to not bug or complain to the cookie!

I can see your point. Ironicly, one of my best friends here just got laid off truck driveing. He and his wife drove team up untill a few years ago. Then they settled down and bought a place here. She quit driveing and got a waitress,s job. He drove local and got laid off about a month ago. They have...

I had to laugh when I read Paul Jenkins post on the Mormon missionarys shoveling his driveway as they considered it part of their obligatory good deeds because of their religious beliefs! We live in utah and ARE NOT Mormon. Neighbors shovel my driveway every time it snows. They will take nothing! At...

Sorry for the thread drift, but did any of you catch what obama said a week or two ago when he said he wanted to FORGIVE student loans if they chose a goverment career? Isnt that just a wee bit unfair to the private secter competeing for new hires? Also just how fair is that to the taxpayer that pai...

I am glad I am retired. I dont know what I can say to help you guys out, feel better or give you hope. I will say I never knew a job is suppose to be fun! No one ever told me that when I was young. As dave rasmey would say, I am doing better than I deserve! Not just now, but in the past, I have alwa...

That picture looks a lot like this one of antelope that my wife took a couple weeks ago.

Keeweena penisala. Copper Harber. Been there, but not in winter! Beautifull country. Also worked part of two summers out of sault st marie in 1963 and 1964. I was a foreman treating old utility poles for groundline decay in those days.

For that picture to be made in 1895 he would have to be about 57 years old. I have a picture of my mom sitting on her lap taken about 1916. She looks 200 years old on it! I would guess him to be about 28 years old on this one, makeing it about 1866? I assume they got married right after the war. I h...

Generaly speaking, I would guess that most of those camp hunting pictures we see date to around 1905 up. I dont think many private people had cameras in the 1890s yet. I have quite a few of our family pictures that seem to start around 1915. Usualy you need a big magnifing glass to see much. My wife...

Where is that OTH? I used to work around hancock holton about 47 years ago.

Here is a impromto picture of my dad many years ago. No doubt it was taken by one of his brothers after a deer hunt just before they came home. I remember dads car in about 1945 or 1946, just after the war when all my uncles and him all got together after the war. Dad is wearing a deer skin leather ...

I disagree with a bunch of you. 1st, in those days what picture wasnt posed? Common people didnt own a camera. Virtitaly every camera was owned by a "professional" photographer. Those buckskins fit him so well they were made for just him! Just how many sets of different sizes do you think ...

Buck, by remote chance, this lady isnt indian or spanish and a big time ATVer? My wife has a girl friend by that name that lives in Roy, utah. Usualy they E-mail each other every day, and she has strangly quit the day you said she went to the hospital.

I hope you dont mean like on this uberti made general george s patton commemertive made for the American Historical Fondation? These were super exspendsive. Last price I think close to $3,000 was asked! They are silver plated, not nickle. I was lead to belive they were hand engraved. I bought mine c...

A old cowboy decided to get a mail order bride. She showed up and he went to the depot to get her in his buckboard and old nag. He threw her suitcase in the back and started off. The horse stopped and crapped. He said, thats one. She wondered about it. Presently the horse stopped and crapped again. ...

Hi guys. I had a bunch of things happen that got me grounded. I used to be "Bogus Bill" here, but lost my identity and couldnt get back on. I just rejoined as "Booger Bill". It started when a hacker got in my E-mail and used my contact list to pretend to be me stranded in england...
