Author's Note: I originally published this story nearly two years ago. Covid has given me plenty of time to become acquainted with this pistol and on occasion, shoot it with great accuracy. During the last few years I learned a few things that I'd like to pass...
Covid-19 has upended just about everything.
For those of us who have been fortunate enough to work out of our homes, meeting primarily via Zoom, there’s no longer the need to “dress up”. Sure, you need to look presentable, but there’s no reason to...
Folks of a certain demographic may recall a TV ad where some old guy proclaims “when you've got your health you have everything”.
