    The spirits, the witches, African Tokoloshe, superstitions, experiences and the tales

    We usually hear of demonic activity in far off primitive places, but not always. Closer to home, I suggest not playing around with that pendulum thing too much. Some activities seem to invite demonic manifestation, for lack of a better word. The wife of one of my deacons practiced an old...

    That's no joke in Southern Sudan. Dinkas believe that if a chameleon bites you and you hear a cowbell before sunset, you will die.

    Interesting you mention REAL home ownership--DeSantis made the same remark recently and promised that property taxes in Florida would not put the elderly out of their homes because of increased tax valuation since their purchase. I support that idea. Government should know its place or be put in...

    Particularly interested in supporting NYC if the new MUSLIM COMMUNIST mayor wants to borrow 70 billion for affordable housing, etc... Maybe BB can do us all a favor and, rather than just take out Iranian leaders, cap that guy. Better than his support of "global intifada."

    Yet another reason why a ceasefire is just a bandaid if Iran cannot bring themselves to say "Israel has a right to exist. We will stop calling for the death of Israel/death of the US.

    Permanent marking brass cases

    All the brass I have used has been stamped on the base either JR, if it is the 318 dia. or if it is the S bore. If they don't mark the S bore, then you know it is the S bore, because the other WILL be marked as the J bore. Or file a notch. I generally save the magic markers for specific loads...

    Good ideas. In addition to number of times fired, I perform a test for incipient head separation with a piece of bent, stiff wire. The bend in 90 degrees, very short and sharpened.

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    Agree, but let me take it one step further, and this is not just to get a rise out of Bob Nelson 35 Whelen--I don't think the 243 should be used on elk AT ANY RANGE. It is marginal for elk at the get-go.
