PUBLIC NOTICE: henceforward, I shall be calling the cartridge formerly known as ".40 S&W" by a new name -- ".40 Liberty" -- to disassociate one of the greatest implements of self-defense ever conceived from the cowardly corporation doing its best to eradicate the very concept of self-defense, and to remind everybody to boycott that corporation and interdict its sales to all government agencies.
-- L. Neil Smith

They had also poisoned their distribution channel by trying to impose some really insanely restrictive conditions on their downstream. Not smart.

Why in the hell would you want to go through the added expense and time to become a stocking dealer when no one wants the S & Ws anyway. It's no wonder they're making bicycles and auomotive parts now to suppliment the gun biz. Stupid asses. |

But the other day, as we were chomping down at Jimmy's, Big Ed turned to me with a stone-cold serious face and said, "T-money, I need a scapegoat. You know that if I lead the charge for privatizing the LCB, I'm dead in the water..." Dan Fee then interjected, "We need you to be the fall guy, T. We'll get you on the LCB, then you have to go about selling it off, much to our feigned shock and dismay. We'll set it up so that there isn't much we can do to stop you...you'll be surrounded by yes men, like your good buddy Griff. But we gotta warn you T. You'll wind up being a target...you know how Johnny Doc and the electricians are..." Big Ed then waved off Fee and said, "Now don't you worry. Sylvester (Johnson, the police commissioner) has already got that angle covered. Vince (Fumo) and John (Perzel) are working with us on that as well. But after you start selling it off and break the union, people, especially in Philly, will call for your head. You'll have to resign and leave the state in disgrace." Fee then added, "You've always wanted to move to Chicago, right T? And we'll talk to Rod (Blagojevich, IL's incoming governor) in helping get Rho squared away." Big Ed looked at me with concern in his eyes, "It's for the good of the people, T." "I know Big Ed," I said, acknowledging all that the two men had said. "Well, if it's for the good of the people, how can I say no? I'll do it for you Big Ed!" "Excellent!" Big Ed cried. "Waitress! More cheesesteaks for everybody!" Quote:

UPDATE: Four weeks Later
I had my follow up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon today. Got fresh x-rays taken. All is looking well and I have had my cast removed and replaced with a removable brace.
![]() I have also been cleared to drive, so I'm going to be wandering around aimlessly in The Red Baron. At one point the doc asked me what I'd been doing. So I let him know. I'd been to a faith healer (three reiki masters who are friends), as well as following a wide variety of medical advice from an assortment of psychiatrists, including take Vitamin C, take calcium, take multi-vitamins, and one of our doc's even made a point of kissing it better. Well, some combination of these (including one of my favorite meds, tincture of time) was effective. I'm apparenly showing good growth of new bone callous, and have relatively decent range of motion.

I couldn't stand even the thought of only being able to tickle the ivorys with only one hand much less my guitar.
I'm really glad for you. ![]()

I was overjoyed beyond belief last night when I got home, took off my brace and untaped my fingers and was able to type with both hands.
Simple pleasures. ![]()

And you've been posting quite a bit lately...I am impressed. If I could only type with one hand, I'd lose my mind.

Having one hand immobilized slows me down to normal person typing speeds. I've been clocked at 100 WPM when I'm on the top of my game.
