That view out the side windows at 155MPH might be entertaining, and the Swiss usually build civil defense facilities into these excavations.

Amazing the differences in culture! Was watching the news preview tonight about an entire city in the U.S.going bankrupt! School system can't pay teachers, shutting off water to residents, etc. Some places mine for their citizens 🚉 , some places mine their citizens 🚽, some places just implode 🚧 !
 
There are some dang fine players out there and pickers are among the best of em ! I've seen this guy before and he never fails to amaze.

As a follow up to my previous post, I should point out that my wishlist has plenty of Smith & Wessons on it. I'd estimate at least a couple dozen total. They just didn't make the top 20. I blame all those threads asking to pick just X amount of firearms.

I'm finally back home from jury service. It was a long and event filled day. I was released from voir dire shortly after 5:00 PM without being selected for the case. The bus I got on for the ride home was in a minor accident. My lunch was a small bag of Cheetos, so beer and food were immediately needed. While I process a second beer, here's what happened in Okinawa on this day in 1945.


May 2, 1945

Around 0551 some 25 LSTs from Leyte anchored. They carried vehicles, cargo and equipment for the 7th Division. Meanwhile, the weather is foul. Even so, all types of smaller vessels come alongside for supplies. Four sacks of mail arrived but the boxes of food and packages were torn and smashed. Cookies were crumbs. Those at home would do well to save their sugar and butter stamps. Packages come by ship; mail by plane. When the weather is bad, only essential flights land at Yontan. When anything is shipped by plane the aircraft carries fuel for the round trip. Fuel and ammunition are in short supply.
 
Wow! Super music tonight, guys! Luvin' it.
I'd like to stay up and listen to that stuff, but tonight's a school night.
Well...
Not school really.
Work.
Well...
Sometimes I learn things at work, so it's like school.
Somtimes.​
Most of the time at work, my brain's too busy trying to retrieve information that was stored eons ago.
Mebbee I just need to learn a new gray-matter filing system.

Time to wash up, brush up, and hit the sheets.
Night-night, Drifters.

I thought you wuz up past yer bed time! Must a been the mezmerizing muzik.
 
When in the court today, I did just as instructed. I knew nothing about the case, talked to no one about the case, and sought no information on the case during breaks.

The brief description of the indictment given disgusted me and made me angry. I had a high number on the juror panel, but the old country judge had to have just seen it in my face. Twice I was told by the Judge not to answer questions presented directly to me. I took that to mean I had been struck.

Now that I'm not going be on the Capital Murder Trial jury I am free to look into the case, and discuss it.

I ran a quick search and here is the public story that I found.

Wise choice not selecting me, for this one.

My holster ad in the classifieds has 666 views. That can't be good.

Just pretend this is hwitty.
Reminds me.
I traded a coupla knife sheaths for one of those fitness watches with a Cherokee friend.
I checked it on today's hike up the mountain. My heart rate was 166 and calories burned was 666.
Hmm...
