I cannot stay awake on the plane. Pre-Covid I was flying 100K miles per year mainly on international flights. Never can do any in-depth work on the plane because I always doze off. I usually just watch movies and do some crossword puzzles.
That is nice. My dealer put a sticker above my sliding window on the back, an emblem on my tailgate and dealer plate holders.
I immediately scraped the sticker off. Am considering taking a heat gun to the emblem on the tailgate to remove it too.
of course the plate holders came off quickly too.
They should pay me or give me a discount on the purchase if they want me to drive around advertising for them.
Virginia City (1940) with Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins, and Randolph Scott directed by Michael Curtiz.
A Union spy, a Rebel spy, a saloon singer and an outlaw via for a wagon train of Confederate gold in Nevada.
Humphrey Bogart played the outlaw. It included Alan Hale and Guinn "Big Boy" Williams as Flynn's sidekicks. Frank McHugh played the nervous insurance salesman. Ward Bond also had a brief shot as well as a guard watching a gate.
The gun fights crack me up in it as it looks like they are trying to throw the bullets out of guns. The pistols start out almost vertical and they throw their arms forward to shoot. Looks funny.
A nice western even with the WTH moments of how do you miss shooting someone that is 5 feet away.
Watched The Searchers last night. It is an all-time great. The letter reading and fist-fight scenes crack me up. For me, John Wayne plays a likeable unlikeable person. Ward Bond delivers as a minister/captain in the Texas Rangers.
A few years ago I was in Belgium and Luxembourg. I had the opportunity to visit the US Cemetery in Luxembourg where 5 soldiers referenced/featured in the Band of Brothers and General Patton are buried. Seeing their graves hit me like a ton of bricks.

Don't analytics get skewed even more as time goes on as coaches refer to the manual? If on game 1 the manual says to do "X" 60% of the time so you do it. Game 2 rolls around and then the percentage is 65% of the time you should do "X". So you do it again. The percentage continues to grow or do enough coaches go against the manual to keep things in check?
Below are images of a 9th AD Lieutenant uniform (from my collection) of a soldier that also received a battlefield commission late in the War much like your father
.
Just watched Monty Python's the "Holy Grail" and the "Life of Brian". It was the first time for me to watch them in 30 years or so. I laughed out loud. Certainly not comedy for everyone but it works for me.
I travel a lot for business (username) so a lot of my picture subjects are a result of that. If I am going to a new or exciting place I usually schedule a few extra days to kick around. So far the job has taken me to 29 different countries and multiple states. I also do a lot of hiking which is another source of pics for me. Around Thanksgiving I did a 3 week loop through NM, AZ, Utah and Colorado hitting a lot of the National Parks (will be posting some pics soon). It may be a lame excuse but the availability, ease of use, and less baggage is why I do what I do for pics. I suppose if going out to take pics was my priority then for sure I would upgrade.
However, I will look (Surly peer pressure!) into a DSLR. First step is to google what DSLR means.
All I ever use is my iPhone. I must say that I am pleased with my efforts overall for what I do. Occasionally I wish that i did have a nice zoom feature though.
Nice pic.
