    What's your website?

    I don't have a web site but many of my articles on air combat are published at combatsim.com in the historical section.....[huh]

    Silly eBay bids

    I know what you mean Bud. People seem to be trying to escalate in the smallest amounts possible thinking they'll get it cheaper I suppose. They should simply deceide their max price they want to pay and bid it! On the flip side of that is when you see an item, any item, and know about what...

    Fedora at the Grand Canyon

    I went to the Canyon last weekend and took my light gray 3" brim and wore it everywhere- on the train, bus, restaurants, at the Canyon etc. Saw some guys in cowbot hats, and "adventurer" type hats only. In the gift shop was a half-ass Indy/adventurer knock off of all wool with a chin loop...

    What if WWII didn't happen

    The Germans were never foreseeing invading GB. They had no inventory of craft to facilitate a landing even if they had air superiority. Hitler always figured they'd sue for peace. That said, IF Hilter had so decreed in 1937-38 German industry certainly could have produced what was needed...

    $2bill?

    On a side note, are we ever going to get rid of pennies? They've talked about rounding up or down on retail purchase totals for a long time but.....?[huh]

    Pictures, cameras & I hate computer programmers.

    My new pet hate in the city

    Koop- When my Mom was alive I took her to her many doctor appointments with the obvious long waits. Invariably people, mostly women- no offense- would no doubt be bored and ring up their friends and have rambling stream of consciousness conversations in elevated tones. And though every office...

    Favourite quote that sums up your love of life

    Hmm? I guess something as banal as "wherever you go, there you are," sums it up for me. Kind of relates to the fact that fate takes you where you go. My favorite non-love of life saying has always been "life sucks, then you die.";)

    Do you have a nickname?

    Well Twitch was given to me back when I was a recon Marine. In our outfit we all had monikers that related to something about each of us. The Viking was a 6'4" 240 guy that looked like a viking. Smokey, The Bull, Kid, Turkey etc., were some. Twitch was given to me because my finger would...

    What did your grandparents pack for personal protection in the Golden Era?

    My Grandfather had a .32-20 Colt revolver. It's a long cartridge .32. I still have it. My Dad was in law enforcement most of his life and ended his days with a Colt Python .357. I acquired one just like it a few years ago. I have always been in the habit of carrying firearms. My favorite...

    Ultimate Home Theaters

    Gosh, I don't care for the concept at all. I much prefer watch the tube sitting in bed. Most I might get into is a flat panel of undetermined size larger than my 27 inch in the future.[huh]

    Pictures, cameras & I hate computer programmers.

    It is the universal problem with all software designers. They come out with a great program that works fine but they have to justify their existence by "imporving" and "adding features." As word processing programs have evolved they kept adding more crap that most people don't even use. Other...

    The Photographer

    Matt, I agree. Forget about "professional" anything as that is a unequal factor now or with film cameras. What you are saying is that Joe Schmow can take quite decent pix with the minimum of fuss at a level superior to his old 110 film camera. I have watched people fooling with cameras...

    My new pet hate in the city

    BTW- if you dial 911 on your cell you'll get the highway patrol in most areas. They encourage you to drop a dime on dangerous or drunk drivers too.;)

    Fish Keeping?

    I had freshwater since I was a kid and only recently quit having fish. Salt is a different deal. A couple friends of mine went to salt and found the extreme work involved not to their liking after a year or so. In general the fish are way more expensive also. I wouldn't discourage you but...
