I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

I like to knit. I'm working on a rainbow scarf for my little niece.

Well , I got my own ugly scale going here where it goes 1-10.!
1 being homely and a 10 being night-mare-ish and whenever I go to Walmart,
I'm looking for that 11..! Eeeeck.........!

Once I've hit a 12 , haven't been right since..! Yes , they walk among us , span-Dex , nipples to the knees , scorn with the face of a mule would be OK ,
I'm talking the missing link here.! The only problem is , missing link to what ?

When 911 has been called into action , you know there is know return , for you have crossed the line with know way back........! You also know they must be legally blind..! No-way would I wear "Electric-Plum" span-Dex to attract even more attention ..! We all heard of (Gun-Free Zones) , these people must live in (NO-Mirror Zones)..! EeeeK..!

I used to collect Nikon camera lenses. Glad I broke that habit. One lens can cost more than a cruse for two.

Back into gun collecting, far less expensive, and more fun to shoot!
