    The Lure of Opulent Desolation

    Ok. As one of those who have been patronized and accused of un-critical thinking, an inability to grasp nuance or irony and missing the point altogether, I went back and read the article as published. The fancy literary vehicles she is trying to use to get her point across do not work well...

    The Lure of Opulent Desolation

    I like her sexual repressive thing and the doe eyed depressives. My mother was a Standford graduate who would go mano-a-mano with any one who was up for it. A woman of strength, high ideals and independent thought, who was committed to doing her best job as a mother and wife, never once...

    The arrival of Spring

    I'm more of a hunter-gatherer than gardener, what gets me through the winter is that the days after equinox grow daily longer. I would like to be a gardner, but those genes just went by me somewhere. What I find intriguing about it, is that folks get that intense and focused connection with...

    Land Rover Owners

    To me, those things have always said two things. Africa and Hunting. Never managed to snag one myself, but have had two older Land Cruisers, just loved them. If my ship ever comes in....

    Blundstone Boots

    Gad, Baggers that worries me. Mine are so far in perfect condition, sure hope they don't suffer the same fate as yours. Have worn them at 30 and more below.

    Show us your Guns!

    That is a remarkable piece. I kinda wish I hadn't asked you to show it now though, because I'll be wracking my brain trying to figure out that engraving.lol Neat old ammo boxes, too.

    Blundstone Boots

    Aside from moccasins and sandals in the summer, my Blundstone 500's are my only shoe. Been wearing the same pair for five years, hiking, riding, hunting, town et al. The best quality and most comfortable boots I've worn in 40 years of outdoor life. I wear 9-9/12 D or E and my Blunnies are Aussie...

    Neat story, thanks.

    Show us your Guns!

    Sorry, old man, I could, but I would need the pistola in my mitts and with our various country's gun control that just ain't possible. Might try scouting around for a competent hobbyist or try Old West Reproductions in Florence, Mt. Unlikely though you'll find that quality of stitching...

    Show us your Guns!

    John, thanks very much for taking the trouble. That is one heck of a piece of work. The combination of imagination, tradition and craftsmanship is very pleasing. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the maker's first exposure to an auto pistol, and to see the new thinking melded with the old...

    The world has gone to hell.

    Oyez, all is not lost, was able to order the movie and two of Shepherd's books thru my library. With luck, shall get them Saturday. Yea, there is a Santa.:)

    Show us your Guns!

    Levallois, I love that holster. Any chance you could post more pics, particularly of the back? As to the MMOTT mark, just my opinion, but I feel that it may be neither a maker's mark nor the owner's. If you look at lots of old shop-made holsters, almost invariably the maker's name and logo...

    Inadvertant Advertisments

    What amuses me is the inverse proportion between the amount of labeling one finds on modern goods and the quality found therein.

    The world has gone to hell.

    I just looked through the TV guide rag that has all the cable stations we get in this wide spot in the road, something like 40 or so, and not on a single one is "A Christmas Story" listed during the holidays! What is Christmas if I don't get to watch Ralphy unwrap his Red Ryder? I am crushed. Is...
