    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Lincoln" I enjoyed it very much. Daniel Day Lewis was great as was Tommy Lee Jones. Liked the joke Lincoln told about Washington's portrait in the English Lord's WC. I enjoy period pieces so I would also like to see Anna Karenina when and if it plays around here.

    Ken Burn's the Dust Bowl

    Well, the title of the book was "The Worst Hard Time". The whole premise of the book was about people coping with a long, drawn out disaster. I'm trying to imagine what you else may have been expecting. What other story were you expecting to move along too?[huh]

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Of course, they haven't completely disappeared but they are fewer in number than when I was a kid.

    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    I grew up in a small town. When I was a young teenager, my best friend lived across the river from me and the quickest way to his house was through a cemetary that was bisected by the river but connected by an old steel truss foot bridge. I always avoided stepping or riding over any graves to...

    Why older homes are safer from fires

    Kurt Russell in "Backdraft". Open turnout coat, no SCBA, kid conscious coming through the flames. It's the stumbling around in the dark that's the most fun, don't you think? That and advancing the line around corners and up the stairs.:D

    Rifle Firing Position

    The explanation of stability is right on. The only hisorical reference I can give however, is my own personal experience with the M-16 at the 200 yard line.

    Return to "normal" tv.

    I don't usually miss commercials on tv, but I would like to see a Geico commercial again or any product or service for that matter. Here in Ohio, the regular commercials have been almost entirely supplanted by "other" advertisements during the past couple of months, especially the last several...

    Tonight is Devil's Night...

    We did our pumpkin smashing on Halloween after trick or treat ended. Also, trick or treat happened after dark when I was a kid, not during daylight hours like today. Sure, it's probably safer for the kids to be seen in daylight crossing the street, but it sure doesn't feel right to me.

    After posting the same thing four times, maybe you just need some sleep.:D
