Ignorance Is Bliss (Or The Rude Awakening)

It's All Location, Location, Location...

...but I am talking photographs not real estate. Location of the photographer, of the gal and of the hatchet.

Hospitals - They Are The Same In Russia As Here...


...so when you are in the ER or waiting for an x-ray, you have to hold onto your wallet for fear some lowlife hospital staffer will steal it.

Important Things To Learn As A Teenager...

...should include continuing education in: ethics, morals, how to be respectful of others, how to be a good citizen, and how to drive a stick shift. Luckily, for one Australian woman, a potential carjacker most certainly never got the lesson about driving with a manual transmission and gave up in his attempt to steal her car. He apparently either never got the other lessons either or just chose to disregard them because as it turned out he ran off with her purse. She was apparently unharmed but he could have just as easily killed her in the mix. More here. Sadly, the woman never learned an important lesson that should be taught to everyone from a very young age and that is how to resist just criminal attempts by defending ones self and property.

Me, I probably would have given him a fight.

All the best,

Loctite Quandary

Some outtakes from a gun forum of which I am a member regarding someone who thinks there was a lump of Loctite in the sight channel on his revolver:

Original Poster: "Hey i removed a scope from a  S&W 29 and there seems to be a small lump of what i think is Loctite in the rear sight channel.  I dont want to scrape it off and damage the blueing, what will dissolve that stuff?
 
any ideas?"

Reply: "What color locktite is it?"

OP: "I don't know!  I know my dad loved the stuff!"
 
Another Reply: "How can you not know what is the color, you said you see a lump of it! So, what color is the lump? If it is Red or Blue Loctite, it should be red or blue respectively as it points out on the Loctite website...As I said above, their epoxy compound dries metallic gray."
 
No further replies so far from the OP.
 
There were many other replies overall, most explaining how to remove it and the gun gurus (including yours truly) contradicting one another but the OP never got back to answer that simple question. My guess is the OP tried to pry off the lump with a fingernail and off it came whatever it was. It is just hard to imagine though that someone could not tell what color was it - unless of course he is color blind; he also never got back to say whether or not he removed it.
 
All the best,
