Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
A little while ago I was fiddling with my new iPhone looking at WhatsApp and noticed it has a FaceTime feature. Never have tried that much (only one time long ago), so I touched the button. Lo and behold, it started dialing a number…..and our Brit friend Fiona in Wolverhampton, UK answered - appearing in her kitchen on my screen! The Welsh girl was lookin’ good, busy whipping up some dinner. Had a nice 6 minute chat to catch up. Technology has come a long way since my family was stationed in Taiwan back in the late 1950s. We were pretty much cut off from family & friends back in the USA, what with no telephone service to speak of - and writing a letter to get a question answered took at least two weeks, sometimes longer. Then there was the time my brother (a UT student) back in Austin mailed a package full of Christmas presents to us in Taipei, but it never arrived. Seems the cargo plane went down somewhere in the Pacific without a trace. Disappointing to say the least - maybe some deep sea fish were wondering what my fancy Texas belt buckle was for. We tried once to communicate with brother via shortwave radio - from the US military facility in Taipei, to our ham radio cousin who was a professor at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. We were trying to “broadcast” in the middle of the night, hoping that cousin’s radio transmitter (a very professional set with worldwide range) could pick up our random calling signal. We had not heard Jim’s voice for more than a year. But apparently the hit or miss conditions were not right, and cousin & brother never made the connection. Mom was extremely disappointed and wept all the way back to out house.

Seriously though, after my MIL used her tiny potmetal Titan .25 to scare off a late night intruder who was attempting to to break in her house 40 years ago, I bought her this new S&W Model 36 Chief’s Special .38. much simpler for her to operate than the Titan, which would’ve jammed because it was not loaded properly (one too many rounds stuffed into the little magazine). After some minimal instruction & a brief proficiency session at a landfill dump, she was satisfied she could handle it. YMMV- The Gun Owner’s thread
