Today is Monday, July 18, the 199th day of 2022.
There are 166 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On July 18, 1969, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., left a party on Chappaquiddick (chap-uh-KWIH’-dihk) Island near Martha’s Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne (koh-PEHK’-nee), 28; Kennedy’s car later went off a bridge into the water. Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned.

On this date:

In 1536, the English Parliament passed an act declaring the authority of the pope void in England.

In 1863, during the Civil War, Union troops spearheaded by the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, made up of Black soldiers, charged Confederate-held Fort Wagner on Morris Island, S.C. The Confederates were able to repel the Northerners, who suffered heavy losses; the 54th’s commander, Col. Robert Gould Shaw, was among those who were killed.

In 1918, South African anti-apartheid leader and president Nelson Mandela was born in the village of Mvezo.

In 1925, Adolf Hitler published the first volume of his autobiographical screed, “Mein Kampf (My Struggle).”

In 1944, Hideki Tojo was removed as Japanese premier and war minister because of setbacks suffered by his country in World War II. American forces in France captured the Normandy town of St. Lo.

In 1964, nearly a week of rioting erupted in New York’s Harlem neighborhood following the fatal police shooting of a Black teenager, James Powell, two days earlier.

In 1984, gunman James Huberty opened fire at a McDonald’s in San Ysidro (ee-SEE’-droh), California, killing 21 people before being shot dead by police. Walter F. Mondale won the Democratic presidential nomination in San Francisco.

In 1994, a bomb hidden in a van destroyed a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, killing 85. Tutsi rebels declared an end to Rwanda’s 14-week-old civil war.

In 2005, an unrepentant Eric Rudolph was sentenced in Birmingham, Alabama, to life in prison for an abortion clinic bombing that killed an off-duty police officer and maimed a nurse.

In 2013, Detroit, which was once the very symbol of American industrial might, became the biggest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, its finances ravaged and its neighborhoods hollowed out by a long, slow decline in population and auto manufacturing.

In 2020, Canadian officials said the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team would not be able to play its home games in Toronto during the shortened 2020 season because it wasn’t safe for players to travel back and forth from the United States. (The Blue Jays would play “home” games in the ballpark of their minor league affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y.)

Ten years ago: Rebels penetrated the heart of Syria’s power elite, detonating a bomb inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus that killed three leaders of the regime, including President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law and the defense minister.


Five years ago: President Donald Trump declared that it was time to “let Obamacare fail” after the latest Republican effort to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law was blocked in the Senate. Trump announced that he would nominate former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman to be U.S. ambassador to Russia. The Trump administration slapped new sanctions on 18 Iranian individuals, groups and networks, a day after certifying to Congress that Iran was technically complying with the nuclear deal and could continue enjoying nuclear sanctions relief.

One year ago: Collin Morikawa, a 24-year-old from California, won the British Open to become the first golfer to capture two different majors on his first attempt; he’d won the 2020 PGA Championship 11 months earlier. Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia won cycling’s Tour de France for a second straight year.

So, was your blind faith justified?

This is actually a decent smoke. This can't be an AB right?

Like I was discussing Viaje the other day.  This is the way I like to sample them rather than 5ers or boxes usually

Even they can get it right from time to time.

Did Tony check in yet or did the interview take it out of him for the day?

Today I have to go to the post office to get a money order. I haven't done that in years. Who does that anymore?

Me, when I win an auction for a rifle that is located in South Carolina.
Maybe I can pick it up for you.
That's potentially illegal, and would nullify the buyer protection from the auction. But thanks for offering.
Hey, what's illegal anymore....
Not gonna mess with my second amendment!
All kinds of things are illegal. That doesn't stop bad people from doing bad things.
You heard him, Dave. Go pick yourself up a rifle.
Bad to the bone!
Well, if owning a rifle makes one bad, I expect I'm a candidate for Baddest of the Banter.

OK, I guess I'll concede.
Well, that does include shotguns. On the other hand, three rifles are not in the picture.
I wouldn't want to be on the other end of that
It's real easy to stay out of the way of the business ends of any of my weapons. ;-)

I didn't intentionally set out to have as many guns as I do, honestly. I became a collector by accident. I have several friends who are local LEOs, and on a couple of occasions they reached out to me when they were consulted by recently widowed ladies who wanted to be rid of their late husband's collections of firearms. Then there was the wife of a friend who struggled with mental illness and wanted his guns out of the house. I happened to have the capital, secure storage, and network of FFLs to make such dispositions quick and easy. And I'm an honest guy, unlike the pawnbrokers and even the gun stores. If they had something truly valuable, I'd explain to them what they had, what it was worth, and what I'd give them for it. With rare exceptions, even with my disclosures, they just wanted the guns gone and were happy to take what I offered.

So I ended up with a small arsenal. I kept most of the good stuff, or notified my collector friends if I had something decent that didn't fit my interest, and turned over a lot of junk to my FFLs to sell - legally.

My mentally ill friend and his wife offered me his accumulation for $50. It was mostly pretty cheap stuff, but $50 was absurd. I gave them $500, which represented about fifty cents on the dollar, and I told them so. They took it.

The regulation of firearms makes disposing of them fairly a nightmare of effort and time, even if they bring in the auction houses. But hey, it is what it is, and it makes life fun for me and my LEO friends. They know that if they discover some little old lady holding something they want, I'll hold it for them. It's a win all around.

Talk about fiery playing. ;-)

Y'know what? Sometimes these gimmicks really make a sound. I showed up for church rehearsal one day, and one of my best musicians had a three-string instrument made out of a cedar cigar box, and I played with that thing for about three minutes and said, "You're playing this tonight, on this particular song." It went over like gangbusters.
