Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so
interested in
the church connection. Is there something there we are not
getting, or
is he just somehow trying to paint religeon/conservatives/guns
etc
into one picture? Why was the mans occupation even noted, and
would
the story have been written if he was say a barber? Just
wondering,
the writer seems to indicate this type of seizure is not
unusual...
hummmmm...

Cultural thing I suppose. Up here, normal people wouldn't think
of
carrying a firearm...let alone a church official.
No hunters or target shooters in Canada, huh? Wow, times have sure
changed
since my uncle took me hunting up there.

"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going
hunting
or target shooting.

There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target
shooters
also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If
I
go
hunting, I carry a firearm.
Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' !

"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting
or
target shooting and "carrying" your firearm with you.

I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean
"packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think that
is the way Don was using the term.

Speaking of fortuitous...how nice that you should mention Tilley hats
as I
was in the market for a hat. And, at the same time, the closest store
carrying Tilley's was having a 20% off sale. Now we are both proud
owners
of a Tilley. They are a very comfortable hat!

They are great hats. But, are they still claiming that they float? If so,
don't believe it for a moment. I lost one a couple of years ago when some
serious wind blew it off my head. It landed 10 feet away in the water,
and
sank instantly.

They say:

Like the Titanic, it Floats.

It Can Also Sink.
One reason your Hat floats is because of the air trapped inside the
water-repellent fibres. The main reason, however, is the layer of
closed-cell polyethylene foam in the crown of the Hat that also protects
your noggin from blunt objects. (People have told us this feature has
actually saved their lives!)

Certain types of wave action can sink your Hat - and you. You will find
that your Tilley will neither sink - nor fly overboard - as long as you
are
wearing the cord behind your head and under your chin.

Lies! All lies! But still, it's a great hat. I've got the huge one - the
T2, if I recall. It's kept me dry even after 2 hours in the rain. It's a
hands-free umbrella.

I've had the 2nd widest brim model for years as my sailing hat. (T3)
Natural canvas colour with green underbrim. This one stiffens in heavy rain
and sheds 95% of the water.
Later on I bought a nylamtitum khaki coloured LT5 for walking to work.http://www.tilley.com/chart.html- Hide quoted text -

I have three hats. all black of course I got my favorite which is a
oiled leather Aussi Outback. It looks like an American Cowboy Hat but
with a smaller brim. I have a woven hat more American style, the brim
is a little big for my taste though. It is a lot cooler in the summer
than the Outback. And after almost 50 years I tried on a leather ball
cap with a sort of stovetop shape and the wife said it looked great,
so now I have one of those. Makes me look like a real redneck with the
mirror glazzez... All great hats, both of the rimmed hats are
customized with teathers and such...
