Looking through an old photo album I'd come across untitled, undated pics of a tall, lanky young man. He's wearing a khaki outfit and judging from the old cars and uniform style, I guess it was taken early 1940s. No relations from that generation are alive to tell me who some of these people from nearly a century ago are. An old aunt gave me the photos, she thinks he's maybe a nephew or cousin. She wasn't around yet when the family settled in Phoenix after the Mexican Revolution. She was an uncle's 2nd wife. Yesterday while looking online for more info on my great grandfather, I found a cousin named for him. He's the man in my photo album wearing the khakis. Guess you could say he was a hunter. Hunting the enemies of the United States. Lots of info about him exists on the internet, turns out he was a pretty good pilot serving in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Winning 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 3 Air Medals and achieving Ace status piloting the P-38. Much respect.

According to the FBI, there are twice as many people murdered each year with hammers than with rifles or shotguns. Ball peens the contractors assault weapon.

Or we could make murder, illegal? Just to be safe we better ban assault weapons and make murder illegal.

Turns out the shooter in Boulder is a 21 year old presumed Muslim extremist, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. If I watched CNN it probably wouldn't take long to hear he wore a MAGA hat too.

And an entourage of Seal team 6

I hear Encanto Park is nice, go at night to beat the heat and maybe see some wildlife up close. But seriously, AK is the bomb. At least one way there or coming back, book a boat that uses the inside passage. Many have fishing excursions enroute. It's the best way to see the sea faring side of Alaskans

Always interested in a new or good one I haven't seen List a couple Westerns you like. Two of mine are Tombstone and Missouri Breaks.

Will Penny, Charlton Heston; been awhile but I recall a pretty good film.

That Canook nailed a lotta Hollywood honeys back in the day including Judy Garland. Glen Ford's son said of his ol man, Jimmy Stewart on the outside, perhaps, but he had the lust and libido of an Errol Flynn."

In the Searchers, he's brought up on murder charges for shooting 3 men in the.back...which he did

From Sons of Katy Elder on he was working with 1 lung.

John Wayne died in lots of movies..Fighting SeaBees, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Shootist, Alamo, The Cowboys... All these after becoming a star. Died in many more in early films. Still, Bruce Dern is probably the only one anyone can I. D.

Treasure of Sierra Madre

Bro you're scarin' me with that one

Was a good film for sure.

Guilty as well haha, beer came out my nose when I read that.

Most TV Westerns took a lot of creative license, most consumers just wanted drama with horses and cowboys. A recent Laramie episode had prison guards in 1881 carrying Krags. Always amazes me to see a cowboy make camp. He's only got light saddle bags, no pack animal... But he'll always have a coffee pot, frying pan, cans of food, spirits, etc. Sometimes he'd even whip out a coffee grinder for fresh roast. Nothing for the horse.

I'll have to look for Broken Trail and He11 or High Water, first two films mentioned that I don't recall. Last night I watched Thundering Drums with Richard Boone. A lot of attention was paid to authenticity, ie; the troops carried early Allin conversion carbines, McClellan Saddles etc.. And every mount wore issued rope halters and leads neatly tied under the animals neck exactly as would have been done for picketing. Nicely done. However, Ft Canby is not in the Sonoran Desert. 😆

Lonesome Dove and for laughs, Blazing Saddles. It's not Hedy, it's Hedley Lamarr.

Marlon Brando gives a great performance as a psychotic regulator out to kill horse thieves Randy Quaid and Jack Nicholson in the Missouri Breaks.

Tom Horn Last of the Mohicans Outlaw Josie Wales

I wish Danny Glover had taken some riding lessons.

Nevada Smith The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
