    When I was a teenager, my uncle worked on a ranch near devil's tower. He hooked me up with the rancher who let my family deer hunt his land. Your photo brings back a bunch of good memories. Thanks!
    I was a dog on a short chain.
    Now there's no chain.

    Hah! Went to full point on the High Wall - took a while to even notice the background.

    Reminds me of when years ago, my wife and I were walking through the mall when the movie promo posters were out for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I stopped in my tracks and said "OOOOOOOH! A Detonics Combat Master!". At which point my wife paused a moment and said "You still haven't noticed that it's strapped to Angelina Jolie's naked thigh, have you?"

    Yes. Yes I am a gun nut.
    WWJMBD?
