My Favorite Personal Defense Gun

My Favorite Personal Defense Gun: The Beretta Jetfire: My personal favorite defense gun has always been a Beretta Jetfire in 22 short. Over all the years I've been hiking and hunting I never leave without it in my pocket. Of course we all know too the first rule when hiking in the wilderness is to use the "Buddy System". For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this it means you NEVER hike alone, you bring a friend or companion, even an in-law, that way if something happens there is someone to go get help.

I remember one time hiking with my brother-in-law in northern Alberta . Out of nowhere came this huge brown bear and man was she mad. We must have been near one of her cubs.
Anyway, if I had not had my little Jetfire I'd sure not be here today. Just one shot to my
brother-in-law's knee cap and I was able to escape by just walking at a brisk pace.

That's one of the best pistols in my safe.....

Lampreys from Great Lakes destined for queen's pie

 DETROIT—A few unwanted, invasive sea lampreys from the Great Lakes have been shipped to England for use in a traditional pie for Queen Elizabeth II.
The Detroit Free Press reports ( http://on.freep.com/IdmZkP) the City of Gloucester, which has given the pie as a gift to the monarch since the Middle Ages, requested the eel-like creatures from the Great Lakes Fishery Commission because they're a protected species in England. The pie is for June's Diamond Jubilee, the 60th anniversary of the queen's ascent to the throne.

Was Archie Bunker a Prophet?/Video

Archie Bunker was one of my favorite shows.  Many people laughed at Bunker and thought he was an idiot or a racist.  I was of the opinion that he was a prophet.  This short video proves that I was right:
