I was wondering the same thing. Where is everybody?
Having a gun in your hand is much more effective than having the entire police department on the phone!

I went to a gun show today. A Rohrbaugh R9S that was there at the last show (new unfired ) at $1300.00, was now $795.00. I questioned the price drop. I was told that Rohrbaugh was no longer. When I came back 15 mins. later, it was sold, and gone. ( I didn't want it anyway). I had a weird feeling when I left. This forum lately is sterile. Is this the beginning of the end? Apathy is a cold body.

Things run in seasons. Ups and downs are the norm, but humans always want to see a constant forward movement. Most things don't work like that and I don't think it would be healthy in the end if it was like that.

I count normal the 100 year chart of the NY stock exchange. Up and downs with slow and steady forward movement.

That being said... Without vision people scatter. I guess if Duane and/or we members decide to not evolve it could perhaps be the beginning of the end.

I'm sure it will all work out in the end IMO. A lot of good chaps on the site.

Thanks again for all of the assistance over the last 9 months or so.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

Must be nice, I've never seen a Rohrbaugh at a gun show around these parts - and we have some fairly large gun shows.

The removal of Joyce's tracheostomy tube has now been postponed for evaluation in another week due to some complications believed to be minor.  Two steps forward, one step back . . . .  At least she has passed her swallow test and is finally able to ease toward a regular diet supplemented with continued liquid nutrition by PEG tube.

This nightmare began on March 6 of this year.  We hope to be back to normal by the one-year anniversary.
