Nothing wrong. We tend to get wiser as we grow older.
As for catalogs, the only one I miss from the Olden Days is the Herter's catalog. As for the rest, I'm glad they stopped clogging my life.
The one caliber I recommend for an old fart with an itch to scratch is the .22 Hornet. Good therapy lies in that little case.
Good post......Herters and the Hornet.....yes indeed.
