if it wasn’t so damned ugly it sticks out like a wedding dick. I mean, you can’t miss the thing.
On the other hand, I have lost my damned GPS and my good shooting glasses.
I am about to start ransacking the house with a chainsaw.
Hardly worth selling out of state, but I have a Yugo SKS, including about 350 rounds, bandolier, strippers, two cleaning kits,(buttstock and bandolier) asking $330. Ugly gun, but very functional. I’d be hanging onto it but I now have an M1 carbine, which i like much more. I’ll be at the Indy 1500 this weekend, if anyone wants to have a look. A decent and nearly indestructible truck gun.
A couple of weeks ago, I arrived at a point where I decided I needed to back down the spleen. I was imagining the death of dozens of people at a time, sometimes before breakfast.
So i invoked what I now call the Rule of Five. After I have wished death on, or begun to plot the death of, five people, I quit for the day. I turn off talk radio and stop having conversations that involve politics.
Sometimes, still, that happens before I get out of bed, watching the TV news.
It makes it less likely that I will start stockpiling rope. Try it, it helps. My imaginary body count was often getting into the 60’s before I got to work.
