Holy Moly,,,,After 38 years of marriage and the unfortunate shootings in Orlando the wife has finally agreed to possibly get her carry license and to start carrying a handgun!:eek:
Now I've given her lessons before and she knows her way around my carry pieces but she may now decide to get her own! She said times have changed now, to much to the bad,,,,,I've been trying to tell her that for years! :rolleyes:

This not a joke
You are the 100,000th visitor!
Been appearing for 5 days now on the left of the page!

Questions:
- If this appears on multiple days how can I be the same number visitor every time?
- I wonder if 'they' are using the same counting technique as the drift did back in the
days of the disappearing posts?
- Is this domestic or foreign advertising?
- Gremlins, Aliens, Ghosts, or maybe the gov'mnt trying to help?
- Does it make any difference if you wear pants or not?
- What's the prize?
 
Now back to Homer Bast C.O. USS Yolo, off the invasion beaches of Okinawa.

June 13, 1945

No alerts this day or night. Possibly the B-29 raids against Kyushu have brought about this lull. TF 38 continues its daily raids. The boys want to build a projection booth so that break-outs will not interfere with their movies. A booth would help the sound as well. It is all right with me. Sitting on the bridge waiting for GQ, I see the flashes, the smoke and flame from the land bombardment. While no raids were identified, ground fighting goes on. Rumors persist, so the signalmen tell me, that the fighter pilots say the war will be over in August.

Good on her Lok.... I'd give anything to get my wife to
carry and i have tried. She prefers to stay under my wing
90% of the time, (we are both now retired), and that's OK
by me. She's kinda' scared of guns.
Let us know how the training works out for her.

A. There is no "time" or concept thereof in the Drift
B. The disappearing post days, has since been determined
to have been caused by rogue Emu.
C. Tommy Hilfiger or the Kool Aid man? I know for a fact
the Kool Aid man is Russian.
D. Always look to the (animals) as most likely suspects,
ie Penguins, Emu, Coyotes, Bears, etc...
E. Pants are strictly Optional on the drift.
F.

It actually was my wife's idea to get carry permits.
