[Godebert]

Here's a pic of one of my WWI German rifles. The rifle is a Gewehr 98 Mauser, the main rifle of the German Army at the time. This particular rifle was manufactured by a private contractor in early 1916, Simpson & Co., Suhl.

He is not sure, some thing deleted a file "LMOUSE.VXD"
I think it's from a logitech mouse I had a few years ago..
But why it killed the puter is a mystery to both of us..

I am in desprate need of updating my newly designed website.
I plan on doing daily updates on it, plus I met Governor Pataki today and I have pics..

Thanks for showing us the Mauser, Godebert. Bolt action rifles have a "charm" to them that the modern rifles just don't have.

[SAMWolf]

Sure looks like a mouse driver.

The software I need doesn't work on this computer

I ran into that when I went to XP, I have some old software I like that doesn't run well under XP, even using Windows 98 mode isn't the same. :-(

Quite a few to include the mustard gas filled ones. We use to get quite a few US Civil war stuff that would still go boom.

Oh garsh, I flattered, but I'm not Sam.

[SAMWolf]

[SAMWolf]

Just so it's not one of Kerry's plans. ;-)

HOLY CRAP!!

No kidding!

[U S Army EOD]

These were not new shells, I'm not that old.

Epic statistics.

Gee, is a thousand bigger than a million? There's a certain "Kerry" harping on a thousand killed in the present war.

It was a bright shining moment of my youth to see Corporal Rusty and the then-current Rin Tin Tin at the Ohio State Fair in the 'fifties.

A woman who was a career breeder of German Shepherds told me one was used to train Lassie--

The Shepherd was taught, then taught Lassie.

[Lassie was played by John Edwards.]

Woodrow Wilson hypnotized the world into following the notion that transnational progressivism would prevent war, clear up acne, and get rid of those unwanted pounds.

And it worked so well--if we ignore Hitler and Germany's rearmament.

Fox News Channel did another hour on the UN Oil For Food scam tonight--quite damning of Kofi & Son, Jacques and his Minister of Poof, Russia and China.

That fellow Kerry certainly sets a high stock in the UN--first he told the Harvard Crimson he'd like to see US military deployed only under UN auspice--

[Inherited a great deal of the hate-America-first gene from pater Ricardo.]

Then he repeatedly bashes our president for "going it alone"--

He seems to ignore that Kofi made it possible for Saddam to buy the Rolands from Jacques to shoot at our military--

--and there it is: this Kerry loathes our military as "war criminals"--

So, Kerry would have let Saddam slide for his violation of UN resolutions limiting weapons, just as the League of Nations allowed Adolf Hitler to build "illegal" battleships by simply underreporting tonnage, and to build "illegal" aircraft in Uncle Joe's shop.

Wilson failed to get us into the League, but FDR and Truman succeeded in getting us into the UN.

Fine--just evict the current tenants and make it a USO.
