Hi guys
Sorry it took so long for a reply, but the Federal government's new filtering software for the Internet has blocked out TFL. I'm using a "cracker" that a friend developed, but we know we don't have long, since all overseas posts are automatically monitored.
Now that firearms are totally banned in Australia, I feel
much safer. The police demonstrated their new "microwave brain scrambler" on TV last night; let's see any crim face that!! So far, though, it's only been tested on a small crowd -- some radicals holding a small protest against the gun laws. It was funny to those old folks clutching their heads as their brains were literally cooked! Sure made a change from watching that new "Combat to the Death" show on TV that everyone's raving about. I mean, when you've seen one person killed, it gets a bit ho-hum, you know?
Anyway, I'm still a gunowner at heart. My real guns were taken and crushed, but they didn't know I still have a compound bow and a beautiful Spanish-made replica of a Colt .45 -- ol' Slabsides. I like to take it out and clean and oil it -- just feel the weight in my hand and remember. It even "ka-klunks" like the real thing used to!
Anyway, now I'm back on line, I'll be able to post more often.
Gotta go now, there's headlights coming up the driveway and someone at the doo .....................................................................
