    Snow in the Ozarks

    I saw that New Orleans is supposed to get 5-6 inches of snow.:eek: Unbelievable. I hope ol' Caje is well prepared with various refreshing beverages to get him through it all.

    Jeffrefrig How is he doing?

    Glad to know you came through it OK. I don't understand the reluctance of some doctors to alleviate their patients' pain. When I had both knees replaced in the same week in 2011, I was given all the hydrocodone I wanted. I suffered no pain, and I weaned myself off it about three weeks after the...

    What a great game!

    Where is Tobin Rote when you really need him? The Chargers are asking the same question. If you don't know who Tobin Rote is, you are neither a Lion nor a Charger fan. If you claim to be a Lion or a Charger fan and you don't know who he is, shame on you! Look him up. He's one of the great...

    A Better Airport Security Frisk

    I guess it all depends on the machine and the agent. In 2011 in San Diego, I went through the body scanner machine with my two artificial knees with no problem. Mrs. swsig, who is x-ray phobic, opted for a frisk by a female TSA agent. She was gone about 20 minutes, and when she emerged she was...

    The ultimate put-down of Hollywood?

    A classic example of that is stage actor turned movie character actor, Keenan Wynn. I've often said he's been in every movie ever made. Not true, of course, but IMDB credits him with 283 movie and television performances over his 44-year career -- quite an impressive record.

    45 Shield Ammo

    I have a Shield 45 that I really love. It has 8,000 rounds through it, and I practice at 15 and 20 yards. I've found that the most accurate practice ammo is American Eagle 230g FMJ. However, Winchester Service Grade 230g FMJ is close behind in accuracy. As to self-defense ammo, I like Federal...

    Quote attributed to writer Ed Gardner but popularized by Oscar Levant: "Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you find the real tinsel underneath."

    Bodyguard 2.0 Finish Defect

    This is a long shot, but maybe the front sight was adjusted at the factory after being test fired. My otherwise wonderful Shield 45 had to have its front sight adjusted to same position in order for it to be properly zeroed. You could try shooting it first. As to the blemish, that's...

    FINALLY: enough snow to measure

    We have snow in balmy Texas, too. However, I save Mrs. swsig the aggravation of shoveling by reminding her that in balmy Texas, it melts fairly quickly.:rolleyes:

    Bosch’s house. LA fires

    According to the Internet Movie Database, Bosch's residence was filmed at 1870 Blue Heights Drive, about two miles west of the Sunset Fire in Hollywood, which is apparently under control. It is many miles east of the massive Palisades Fire, which is not under control, but is moving south and...

    Middle Age

    If a middle-aged person made up that list, "VSCO girl" has already become passe. As in, "VSCO girls are sooo 2024."

    Take Waymo to airport. What could possibly go wrong?

    Maybe the Waymo taxi was responding to something the passenger was doing, especially if the passenger was using his cell phone to play the Beach Boys' classic, "I Get Around". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzDNsg8VbIU

    Want to buy Walter Whites house?? Breaking Bad

    My sister and her husband built an architect-designed home in Albuquerque in the high foothills of Sandia Peak in the early 2000s. The producers of Breaking Bad approached them about using it in the series, although (obviously) not as Walter White's house. Even though the producers offered a...

    Geez, Rusty, I hated to hear that. It made me want to put my fingers in my ears and go, "Lalalala, I can't hear you!" I hope whatever problem the docs find can be eliminated quickly and permanently. My best to you, and as they say,
