SNOWMOBILE SUIT.... a stroke of genius.... I'm off to look.

PS
Are you guys getting bombed? This morning, less than an inch of snow
predicted... now? They are making noise of a minimum of a foot.....
and as much as 18"..... temperatures not much above freezing through
Tuesday....

Here it depends where you look. One place says about an inch tomorrow
night through Saturday. Another place says up to five inches over the
same time frame.

That's too manly for me, Gene. I've shot .458 winchester mag, and
several rounds of 45-70 and 45-120 (blk powder) and I look at it like
this. If i can't knock it down woth a .458, chances are i can't do it
with a 6 or 700 nitro express either. i suppose it's all how deep a
hole you want to make.

I did, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee but I am not sure if that is

not in fringe churches, but mostly KKK.

Actually a lot of northern states have higher numbers per capita of
KKK members than many southern states.

Could be, they are just more open about it down there. Asked a buddy of
mine in Ala where he would rather live, back in NJ, or in Ala, in
relation to prejudice. He said Alabama, "at least down here when a man
is a bigot, he will tell you when you walk in the door, so you don't
have to waste your time with him". "Up north, you don't know till it's
too late"...- Hide quoted text -

Believe it or not, where I lived in western NY, in the sticks, the
people there are FAR more bigoted than they are here in the south. I
think the reason is that there are so few minorities there that they
just don't know anything about them, and we all know that ignorance
can easily breed bigotry.

Yup. Me and a bud spent part of a summer with his cousins at a logging
