    It appears that here, as in many areas in life, the actual decision is as much a matter of individual preference as anything else. For me, I guess I'll keep up the polishing. And, for those who asked, here's how I do it. Materials needed: 1 old soft toothbrush 2 old cotton worn...

    What did your grandparents pack for personal protection in the Golden Era?

    Both grandfathers carried a weapon on occassion. One grandfather served in the Navy during WWII, in the Pacific, crewed an LST (landing craft). He was issued a Smith Victory Model .38 revolver. No surprise that he got a Model 10 after the war. Grandma still has it at the house, in her...

    Norman Rockwell

    I was introduced to Norman Rockwell's work back when I was a Boy Scout, as Rockwell is also well known for his artworks involving scouting. Now that I'm back into Scouting, a leader for my son's pack, the artwork has a new level of meaning to me...not what I was going to do, but how my son was...

    What is your expertise?

    I'd say that I'm about as close an expert at criminal law as any other lawyer you might find, better than some, probably less knowledgable than others. Pretty good on the Army thing. Know a lot about firearms. And, I can turn out a good meal six out of seven nights. My degree in English Lit...
