60° here now with a beautiful almost full moon shining bright as the temperature is now falling. 

Don’t forget the Super blood wolf moon tonight: rare total lunar eclipse to grace northern hemisphere skies.  Eclipse begins about 10:30 ET where I am.

Another WIN for the Good Guys!

Huntsville, Alabama, Police Indicate That An Ihop Employee Pulled His Own Gun And Killed A Man Who Was Shooting At Store Employees.

The Associated Press reports that the incident began when a customer became agitated over his food order. That customer opened fire on IHOP employees, killing one and wounding another. The wounded employee then pulled his own gun and shot the attacker dead.

Police said of the wounded employee, “[He] pulled a handgun and shot the customer-shooter in self-defense of others.”

I don't know if this would be possible or enough would comment. I was thinking it would be nice to have sub categories...Such as favorite Connecticut. Bundle/knock around cigar. I was also thinking do we want this community to grow or are we happy the way it is. I will sit back and see response.

My plan is to let the community grow but I really don't have the time to devote to marketing. My ultimate goal was to have a weekly podcast and the forum would be a complement to it. But now almost 5 years have gone by and I haven't gotten any closer to making it happen. I can definitely start other threads, as you were suggesting, but I'm not going to flip them daily like I do this one. I'm curious to see the responses you get to your inquiry.

Edit: Personally, I have a difficult time following the flipless forums. So I'm not sure how much I would participate. But I definitely can make it happen.
