They finally did it!

One of my old customers, Altamont Company, has finally got their website up. It’s a bit limited, but you can see the list of items they will be showing. At present, there’s just a lot of 1911 grips, but these willl give you some idea of the quality you can expect. The 1911 target grips, by themselves, are far beyond anything you can expect in quality, and you cannot imagine how much control they impart. They make grips for about everything, and you can trust me when I say, the pictures do not do the product justice. Go. Watch the space. Regrip your favorite 1911, and more.

Chicago expressways this week

Damn, this traffic jam

Mister spinner-wheels Escalade?

DECIDE WHICH DRIVEWAY YOU ARE GOING TO TURN RIGHT INTO. LEAVING YOUR TURN SIGNAL ON FOR 2 MILES AND SLOWING DOWN FOR EVERY DRIVEWAY ENDEARS YOU TO NOBODY.

Now:

Today, there were 46,000 Illinois State troopers on I-294 this morning, part of this program.
All of you dipsticks, let me inform you of something: While you had Joe pulled over for exceeding the speed limit by 8 mph, forty seven bluehaired road parasites drove by you, at 15 mpg under the limit, in the left lane, with their left turn signals on, talking on their cellphone to other people in the same car. And the plainclothes cop who had pulled over a truck for having his lights off less than two minutes after sunrise? Try looking at the Chicago Hired Trucks hauling gravel without tarps,-you know, the ones that take out a windshield every couple hours? Oh, In guess you can’t see that.

Instead you managed to harsh the mellow of a guy trying to do his gig. I mean, I respect cops and all, it’s a tough job for little pay, but how about sharing the wealth, and getting the morons off the road.
More next week.
