I am also a computer/typewriter/grammar/snytax "Klutz"--my girls want me to have a I-Pod, a BlackBerry (great pies) and/or a flip-flop cell phone that: (1) takes pictures (2) folds parachutes (3) reloads RST hulls I guess- I still have an older "non-folder" with the bigger keys, no fold, no fotos- just for a 911 emergency call-- Back in my school days, girls took home ec and typing, boys took shop and mechanical drawing-we learned how to use a slide rule- aka "slipstick"- now it's all computers and CD-Rom, CAD-COM, a changing world. I won't attempt to speak for you on this Roger, but for an "old dog" like me, owning and shooting Parkers (also a Fox and a few LC Smiths-and my older Model 12's) is a return to a simpler time-when people did business witha handshake, a man's word was his bond and when you had lunch with a shooting companion (maybe a glass of FG on the rocks?) you didn't have this "I'll have my people contact your people and we'll "DO" lunch" business.
Well FG as in Football game- I picked the Crimson Tide to win- so tonight I'll sip some Dickel on the rocks and toast the legacy of "Bear Bryant"- nice to know that some older Southern traditions still live on- wonder how the quail hunting is down in 'Bama???
