Any Minor World

My best friend, a LEO, has retired after 30 years of service. Served those years in Logansport, Indiana. My home town. We go back a long way there.

My very best to him goes out tonight as he transitions to civilian life.

God bless you brother, you can relax now!

Ah yes, "Turkey Day" is here.

Many thanks go out to the men & women deployed into harms way on this day. God bless them and keep them safe.

I'm thankful too for my loving family and friends.

Stopped at Gander today on lunch hour. Wowsers! They have large & small CCI primers by the brick! I thought okay, last January they were $30. per brick. Ask the guy for a price check. He says $49.90 per K. I says "see ya".


Vendors were asking $30. to $35. per brick this past weekend at the Medina gun show! They were plentiful at that price. Five months ago primers were among the first product to sell out at $50. per K. Even higher on the auction sights!

The prices at Gander also seem way high on most new & used pistols & revolvers.

I don't begrudge anyone for trying to make a buck but this is absurd.

Anyway, I ain't buying shit from them!

Give a thought today to the 534 soldiers who lost their lives in Ia Drang Valley of South Vietnam back in '65. Four days and nights of pure Hell.

Rest In Peace one and all.

Don't forget to say "thanks" to a veteran today!

Forty four years ago today, I joined the United States Navy.

Checked in at the recruiting center in downtown Indianapolis at 08:00 hours. Got checked out physically and did paperwork. Took oath around 15:00 hours. Bused out to the airport and waited for flight. Boarded an old C-47 for Chicago O'Hare around 18:00 hours. Spent that night in a WWII barrack at Naval Training Center at Great Lakes, Illinois.

Eleven days later I would celebrate my eighteenth birthday.

Watch the video. Go Navy!
