You mean life imitates art.

"Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life."

Pedant!

Holy Crap! The page flipped without bumping!

One must be exact in such matters literary.

This isn't the Naked Party. Of course the page turned the way it should. Only in the NP is a 'bump' necessary. Go figure . . .

Understood. I have a Winchester 97 from my grandfather. It's really in terrible shape and among my other post-retirement chores will be disassembling, re-bluing and restocking it. I need a goose gun, anyway, and cherrying up this old-timer would be cheaper than buying an new Browning Maxus. Of course, it's not 3" chambered but for snows over decoys, it ought to be good enough.

This one is in excellent shape. The reason I ended up with it is because Dad knows how well I take care of things. My brother got all the other guns, but they'll end up going to his kids and they destroy everything they touch. This one is beautiful, my great-grandfather's pride and joy. I remember how he used to clean it religiously. there's one tiny scratch on the stock and that's from when he took out after the coyotes that got in the hen house. It was raining, he lost his footing and the gun hit the wire fence. He was fit to be tied.

Yeah? Well, in this case, he was WRONG!

Shoot! All of us posting here threw me off. For a minute I thot Manu had fixed the glitch. *sigh*

It's our own fun little quirk on Naked.

Good night, y'all.
