Friend of mine said, if you're over 65, and you wake up without pain, you died in your sleep.- longbow51

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
Someone pointed out that the top 10% hold most of equities, and the top 50% essentially all of them. So, jobs lost to other countries don't hurt the stockholder class, in fact benefits them because corps make more with slave wages (here's looking at you, Nike), but what's left of the middle...- longbow51

Spencer's double rifle from the 1923 TV Series
I could have done without the BDSM stuff though, and my wife 1000% could have. In real Montana someone would have lynched that guy. And unnecessary deaths. Overall good though.- longbow51

Not a movie, but Band of Brothers hits hard, with the talk from the real guys who were there.- longbow51

Tariffs
Oh, you're correct for sure; that was not my implication, and I'm sorry if that's what you inferred. It was that Deming gave them a chance to embrace quality in both design and quality and they rejected it.- longbow51

Tariffs
Still know little about tariffs, but just spoke with my daughter, who is in a large international firm, and they are doing the same as Walmart, making China eat the tariffs. What stuff they buy from China they could have made almost anywhere, so if China doesn't play, they will buy elsewhere...- longbow51

Tariffs
All Leupold glass is from Europe, Japan, or, in the lower end, Philippines and maybe at the very low end, China. The only domestic optic I know of is the Vortex Razor AMG (American Made Glass).- longbow51

Tariffs
It wasn't so much that American quality went down. Edwards Deming approached US companies first when he asked what the last step on the assembly line was and was told, "that's where we fix them". He developed total quality improvement, but Ford et. al rejected it, as they were selling cars...- longbow51

RIP Val Kilmer
I read this morning that he actually only had 10 minutes of screen time in Top Gun; his impact was much greater.- longbow51

What are you currently reading?
Saw a movie based in Crete, so re-reading Zorba the Greek, and will likely read some other Kazantzakis as well. Line that hit me today, paraphrasing: Zorba comes upon an old man planting an almond tree-hey grandpa, why are you planting a tree? He said, I live as if I will never die. Zorba...- longbow51

Spend my Bonus - Part Deux
If you go to another .223, go Wylde; 5.56 will always be around and dirt cheap for plinking. Save the .223s for varmints/game. -

Or when you buy a $20 book on Amazon and it invites you to make payments. Credit cards are bad enough for the undisciplined.- longbow51
