Independence day! 2015
Yes, they would. A lot of posts, like mine in Maryville, have a formal flag burning ceremony at some point in the year.- plain old dave

Show us your Guns!
I have seen my share of sewerpipe NKs. The math was very much like when the Finn Mosins came in back in the 80s-90s, only instead of dirt-cheap surplus ChiCom ammo vs. Norma that cost nearly what the gun did for Finn Mosins you had surplus Danish or Norwegian with ultra soft steel jackets or...- plain old dave

1915 vintage 1894 model Norwegian Krag. I have looked for a Norwegian Krag for 27 years, and had almost despaired of finding one.- plain old dave

Vintage Coffee Makers
I have a percolator and am having trouble with it. When I got it, it made good, harsh coffee. You know, coffee that tastes like COFFEE. But recently it seems as though no matter how much I mess with the amounts of water and coffee, the coffee's tepid at best and slightly colored water at worst...- plain old dave

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
On reflection, I will have to cordially disagree with the Accepted Wisdom about Don. The ending completed the circle for him. As I said, IMO he had been in free fall for at least the second half of Season Six and all of 7. But he started taking ownership of his past at the American Legion and...- plain old dave

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
It didn't feel like an ending till the end. I like that. They didn't start really tying up loose ends til 11 eastern time, and it was much less ambiguous than The Sopranos. Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk- plain old dave

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
Well, it might be said that good TV engages, informs and inspires the viewer. THIS episode did just that; not quite a "they all lived happily ever after", but probably as close as we're likely to see in the 2010s.- plain old dave

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
I have been watching the marathon, and will probably watch the last episode this evening. I'm going to be a "wet blanket", but here goes. From what I saw yesterday afternoon, Mad Men is the most singularly cynical program to be on television in maybe more than a decade. I don't remember the last...- plain old dave

Han Solo's leather jacket in SW7
Time to be a slightly OT iconoclast. JJ Abrams took one of the most thoughtful and intellectual franchises in the history of entertainment, Star Trek, and turned it into not much more than a run-of-the-mill summer shoot 'em up blockbuster. Compare the Abrams attempts to TOS, DS9, Voyager or...- plain old dave

More Jazz Age stuff with the piece that was turned in... The 1915 National Matches were the last full-on Matches before the US got involved in WW1. While we were not in the fight in 1916, a considerable amount of the Regular Army was down along the Mexican border, chasing Pancho Villa. And by...- plain old dave

Thank you. Learned more today, too. 8/14/39 was the Monday before the National Matches went hot. Not a stretch to infer a cash-strapped competitor arrived on Monday to trade his low number 03 in and have a few days to work up zeroes for a brand new National Match 1903. And it might JUST be that...- plain old dave

Nice 95. My favorite 95 combo: Full length rifle in .30-40 Krag. Learned some more over lunch: The 1939 Matches were apparently 8/20/39-9/9/39, so this rifle couldn't reasonably be expected to have been assembled AND fitted AND shipped From Massachusetts to Ohio in a week. The 1940 Matches...- plain old dave

Gets better. It is an SRS hit. 081439 REPLACEMENT FOR 598xxx So, the most plausible story thus far is this was shot through the 1940 season and sold at the DCM shed at the 1940 National Matches, the last ones before WW2, as well as the last one where the M1 wasn't really competitive. In...- plain old dave

Maybe not the best pic, but there it is. The high water mark of American precision Service Rifles. M1903A1 Special Target. 1936 National Match rifle that spent a year shooting matches then was sold off the following year. Lyman 48 rear sight and a King Reflector front. The King Reflector was an...- plain old dave

Jones College Radio, almost the last Beautiful Music Station in the Country. Was at 90.9FM, and STILL has the 4-part harmony singing callsign jingle Jacksonville, Florida residents knew for years.
