    I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a recollection today.

    I hope your toe is better. And I assume you've been watching basketball?

    Looks as though there was a secret admirer there in the background of your photograph.

    I was just reading that with a slug made by a manufacturer the gun likes, the right barrel, good sights, and practice, 100 yards with a 12 gauge is a realistic range for accuracy and 200 yards is not unheard of.

    When I was about 8 I had a desk and chair in our living room, above my desk was an ornamental tambourine on the wall, I was sometimes allowed to play with it, it was black around the edges and had a silver middle with black raised patterns, it went missing during our house move and I've never seen one similar since.

    Any of you guts remember the girls pulling off the loop or tag on back of your shirts? This was a thing in the early to mid 1960s.

    I never understood the purpose of those loops in the first place.
