My apologies with NO snide conditions. Life is too short to use it up with ill feelings toward fellow man. (Glorious leader excepted.)
Have a good one. And no, I do not get the funny faces either. Notebook, yes-iPad, no.
Jack No worries Jack!

MD, a lead supply from international sources is available. China, Canada, some in South America, and other places is available. I'm sure the ammo makers have contingencies, but if the administration will not allow Canadian oil into the country, lead may get on the same list.
Remember the State of the Union promise O made to us. If legislation doesn't happen, executive order will. (Paraphrased and included a wide range of topics.) The Ukraine situation could modify his position on Canadian oil imports, maybe.
This is first primary Election Day in Texas. I fully intend to do my duty as a citizen in a few minutes.
Best wishes . I enjoy your works.
Jack Sorry Jack but don't know what you're talking about regarding Canadian crude oil. Canuck crude is processed in MT petroleum refineries right now, and has been for decades. http://www.calumetspecialty.com/about-us/facilities/calumet-montana-refining Please note the source of their feedstock. BTW, the refinery in Great Falls is now owned by a Canadian company and they recently announced a major expansion so they could process more Canadian crude oil. Here's a link for more info on the expansion plans: http://www.krtv.com/news/calumet-refinery-plans-to-triple-capacity-in-great-falls/ Here's a link about the shipment of the equipment for the expansion: http://billingsgazette.com/news/sta...62cff55-f123-5d33-8973-a1c1b977d0e1.html

This ammo shortage sure changes the meaning of the 'haves and the have nots'....the attitude of the guys with 10k round in a cache is quite different that the guys that don't have enough to take the kids out shooting for a weekend. When stores like Scheel's and Cabela's divvy up ammo one 50 round box per customer still do not have any to sell, there is a problem.

How did we ever communicate before emoticons? Street gestures! (Of course that was all face-to-face.)

This might sound like science fiction but there was a time when people actually interacted face to face with each other, sans computer or smart phone, and a good part of their meaning to their words was imparted by body language and/or facial expressions, as much as 80% according to the ex-spurts. I guess the emoticons are an attempt to humanize our modern communications.

MT DD fan, I stand corrected. My reference was to the pipeline to Corpus Christi TX that is on long term hold, O doesn't much like us.
I mentioned early on that there were train loads of scrap.
And Pappy, I have fond memories of a winkey one. Talk about talent. I may have been to young to fully appreciate it.

I never communicated very often as a teen or young adult, never had any money for the pay phone

When people wrote letters (not the 26 building blocks of words but short to long communications on paper, generally handwritten in cursive and delivered by the Post Office in a paper envelope) they would usually add (just kidding!) or (ha ha) in parentheses to remarks that might be misconstrued.
Plus, by the time the recipient had read the entire letter and then taken the time to reply - also on paper - they often had a chance to think twice about what the original correspondent really meant.
Barbaric way of communicating if you ask me, and no one did. (ha ha)

Although I might add that since the disappearance of these "letters" the number of traffic accidents caused by people writing letters while driving has sharply decreased, so there is a silver lining to that cloud.

huntsman,
Here's my previous post, edited:
"How did we ever communicate before emoticons?" (insert winky emoticon here, or whatever)
Dunno if this works, though!

If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I will use GFY next time. We all seem to know what that means.

Had a conversation with several senior citizens the other day over coffee. They related that after morning coffee, they divide up which stores to hit for 22LR ammo of any kind. They rotate stores daily to avoid boredom. If ammo is located, they text each other, while waiting for the other to arrive, they hide the ammo if out of clerks site, and buy everything once the group arrives. Why? They advertise or take to gun shows for resale to supplement social security checks. None of these guys are shooters! Urban legends.
