Why is it that when you need something you can't get it but when you don't need it you can get all you want?
I am in serious need of plain ol cheap fill dirt (aprox 3 yards) right now for an area of my leech line on my septic tank that has washed out. Normally I can find free dirt all day long and people normally will be more than happy to even deliver it for free. But now that I need it the only thing I can find is one guy who wants $60 per pickup load for crappy dirt that is almost 50% gravel from an old road project that he did.

I saw a plane crash with four people on board. I watched it burn and then watched the firemen roll the bodies into the body bags. I found a dead man on the street in Wichita, Kansas. I saw a lady get her arm caught in a press and almost pass out as we open it up to free her arm.
I saw the result of a tanker versus a cattle truck head-on collision. I saw a little girl hit by an ice cream truck!
I was hit by a camel jockey and ended up in the hospital myself. Hell, life is tough but some are not. Just an observation. Why do some feel that what they see and endure is worse than what others see? Don
quote:Members of the Muslim Uighur ethnic group attacked people near the Urumqi's railway station, and women in headscarves protested the arrests of husbands and sons in another part of the city. Meanwhile, for much of the afternoon, a mob of 1,000 mostly young Han Chinese holding clubs and chanting "Defend the Country" tore through streets trying to get to a Uighur neighborhood until they were repulsed by police firing tear gas.
Now we (those of us left) see nothing good happening in our country.
We have drugs, high crime rate, school shootings, Christian religions
being targeted (along with Jewish religion), for all kinds of off beat so called religions including the Muslims. All these small minority religions are being catered to. Just where in hell were all these "minority religions" in time of need during war? Suddenly they just "grew, like Topsy did". Now that time for serving in the Military is over. How have things got so complicated and stressfull to cause allthe problems we are having? Has life became too easy and if things go wrong "big daddy U.S." will hold your hand and comfort you with money? I fear that the last generation of people that could "take care of themselves" is about gone. And God help us as now its
"what can I get from the Govt."
Leaving me to wait with shaving cream in my moustache while she takes her sweet time.

They arrested and lodged Louella Velma Craven, Carrie Lee Lewis, and Quinnetta Iesha Fant in the Lane County Jail on the following charges:
-10 Counts of Identity Theft

In the rare event we win, the Russians symbolically get their * kicked and we get bloodied and closer to bankruptcy. In the more frequent occurrence, we get bloodied and closer to bankruptcy and get our * kicked literally.
Enough is enough and too much is a damn plenty.
I have read in several places that Italian Berettas, (I'm talking specifically here about the 92 series) have better finish, but US made ones have tighter tolerances. Is it just opinion , like Jiff peanut butter is better than Skippy or Chevys are better than Fords, etc., or is there really some basis in fact. Sometimes I think people's opinions come from their latest magazine article.
But see some folks riding a horse down the road I make sure to slow down and give them room. Even will shut the Harley off so as not to scare them.
So so much this one, but I just posted a thread titled 465 yard archery shot. And it started in the 4000s
So did my thread titled you just have to laugh at my brother...
Has posted Several Places But Has No post Count[:0]
So I was watching the "For a Few Dollars More". Got me wondering what was Indio smoking? He'll fire up that fat smoke and get that loopy look. Was it an opium joint?
Back to Quigley. I suppose I could've gone and watched "The Last Man Standing" but I needed a change of scenery. Also watching them Westerns I kind a want a 6 shooter. No I ain't gonna get me a real Colt. I'm going to go with the Pasta shooter.
Also I liked the 6 shooter Eastwood used on "Pale Rider". I don't know what it was (Rem?) pop the cylinder out and swap it for a freshly loaded cylinder and you're ready to go. Kind a reminded me of the speed loader.
