Morning all.
Gotta be careful with that Colombian coffee there Major. It'll sneak around and bite ya'.
Well, I forgot to set my alarm this morning, so instead of getting up at 0530, I rolled out of bed at 0715. I enjoyed the sleep, though I still haven't gotten my morning run in yet.
And to answer your question from teh last thread about the Beretta, Major, it's the Tomcat 3032. Little mouse gun, tip up barrel. Actually, it's pretty much the gun James Bond used in the original book, though his was a 25ACP instead of a .32ACP.
I did put the money down on it, so I'll be getting both the Smith & Wesson, and the Beretta. Whichever one my mom likes better, I'll keep the other one.
And, to wrap things up, I think I came very close to getting mugged last night.
I was walking home from the other side of town as it was getting dark, and by the time I got to my side of town, the street lights were the brightest thing out there. Anyway, as I was about to turn from one street onto the main highway, there was this bush that created a very dark shadowy area, and I swung about ten feet wide of it. As I was going past, a fellow of about six feet, wearing gang-like clothing stepped out of that shadow and fell in behind me. I increased the speed of my stride, and he stayed right behind me. He followed me for almost 100 yards through a well lit part of the street, until I crossed the highway under a street lamp and cut through a neighbor's yard, which has motion activated flood lights and a loud German Shepard that knows me. As soon as I got out of the neighbor's yard, I bolted into the shadows and didn't stop until I got my porch. I'm here to tell you, I ran an Olympic-level half mile. Adrenaline anyone?
