    July 1 is International Joke Day

    Aw, you beat me to it!!! LOL I mean, you obviously know we have possession of the biggest joke on the planet here in Canada: the loser currently occupying the PM's office on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

    The Most Famous Person You've Met

    I guess for me it was Graham Greene (Canadian aboriginal actor in Dances With Wolves, and many other films).

    Hmmmm. Another good guy with a gun stops crime.

    On the bright side, when and if the perp gets out of jail, he can always turn his life around and get a job at the local casino as a "one-armed bandit".

    Birth Year Revolver

    We found one for my wife a while back (her birth year was 1956). That was a few years ago, and she has had many happy trips to the range with it over the years.

    Do you Challenge yourself?

    At 75, and a shooter since I was 10, I am still my own best and most serious challenger. I am a respectably good shot with a handgun, but I am at my best with a rifle. The most pleasure I get on the range these days is finding a young shooter who understands how to use their eyes and their rifle...

    Time to reintroduce the Model 63

    I have a Model 63-4 with the 5" barrel in excellent condition that I'd be willing to part with. It is a 1990 gun.

    California family discovers five bears hibernating in crawlspace under home

    Anybody had a fever due to booster?

    I've been holding off, actually strike that...I will never get any of the shots being pushed as flu vaccines. In my small circle of neighbors, family and friends who have got one or more shots, one had severe convulsions (both after two jabs), one an analphylactic reaction requiring...

    WHAT KIND OF DRIVER ARE YOU?

    I am definitely a 7. Life is good. I want to squeeze every second out of it. I took two Defensive Driving Courses back in the 60's and 70's, and credit that with saving my life on numerous occasions.
