Colin Noir Gets Bloomberg Perfectly

 

Colin Noir gets it right again, I need to subscribe to his channel. What he calls Bloomberg at 3:03 hits the nail on the head, the only way to have maybe said it better would have been for him to add POS to the end of what he called him. 

All the best,

The Twilight Zone - Have You Ever Seen What Was Meant To Be...

...the pilot of the Twilight Zone series? The 60 year anniversary of the Twilight Zone was marked by many as October 2, 2019 - 60 years to the day after the release of the first episode of the series: "Where Is Everybody". Yet, there was essentially another episode that preceded that one. That episode, as I call it, was the one Serling had hoped would be the pilot to the series. "The Time Element" should be a classic but it has been rarely seen by Twilight Zone fans. 

Do you like the Twilight Zone, do you appreciate the acting of William Bendix (The Life of Riley protagonist), of Martin Balsam (of The Naked City, Dr. Kildare and Archie Bunker's Place), of Jesse White (you may know him as the original lonely Maytag repairman), of Joe DeRita (of The Three Stooges fame in their end years) - if so, watch this episode of Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse that aired on November 24, 1958 almost one year prior to the first episode of the actual Twilight Zone series.



All the best,

A NewYear - Nothing Has Much Changed Since Yesterday Except...

...we are all a day older if we survived the night.

Me I'll still be trying to diet with my weekly binges like me eating way too many carbs and a lot of sugar last night with a few beers - oh well my New year resolution is to enjoy myself!

Along the lines of enjoying myself, I've been selling some guns. How can that be enjoyable? Well, I need the money to pay off some other guns I bought recently and to maybe help pay off the gifts I bought for Christmas. Once I get at least halfway to the break even point, I'll enjoy buyiong more guns. It's my way to keep my hobby going. 

As a matter of fact, speaking of going - I'll be going to a gun show in Mesquite Texas this weekend. I plan to meet someone there who is buying a black powder revolver from me (the one seen in the header of this blog). I'll also haul along a rifle or three to try to sell at the show and maybe a pistol or two as well. I wonder if Home Depot is open today, I need some dowels, to fit the rifle barrels, onto which I can put a for sale sign for each long gun. Sling the rifles with dowels down each bore and a sign on each dowel, over my shoulder and I am a walking advertisement for two rifles at a time. 

Also sold a couple of guns on GunBroker.com recently with another one, a Mauser Chileno 1895, selling right now. Probably going to lose a little on this one, since I pad too much for it, but I need the cash. Then again, who knows, another several bids and I'll break even.

It's a new year but life goes on much the same as in the old one. 

All the best,
Glenn B


Happy New Year To All

I hope your past year was a good one and that your new year will be at least as good if not better.

Of course, if you are a demoncrat who supports the impeachment and maybe even the execution of president Trump - you screw yourself and then have a nice year.

All the best,
Glenn B
