Re: "And a .32 gun in his pocket for fun ..."

I've shot quite a few 7.65×17 mm SR as they say in froggy across the pond. That 3" at 50' or the metric equivalent is very optimistic in my opinion. Minute of medium pizza box has been my experience. I've taught scores of gatos some manners with near misses but they soon forget and climb up on ...

Re: OT- Who saves vegetable seeds

Circa '81 or '82 we planted about forty hills of previously saved watermelon seeds and had 4-5 vines per hill grow to melons so you can imagine just how many melons we had. That garden spot lay on a slight rise from the road so folk could drive by and see all of those huge melons. We caught some bla...
