    I love Russian women with guns and this one, who calls herself grebenschikova, is a looker. She even has a page on my favorite knife company, CRKT, Columbia River Knife and Tools. And my desktop today carries the famous picture of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, WW II sniper beauty.

    Russell Means would say, "This is a good day." I'll put him and Pearl, his beautiful wife, back up tomorrow. Freedom means you get to say who is your family. Brock has been a great inspiration to me in looking widely for family members.

  3. I found her Live Journal page by clicking on her name above that big handgun picture. What a woman.

    1. I just use the regular one as for some reason I didn't like Chrome, but that was when it first came out, so now it might be better. I do know it translates automatically.

  5. Some good women are to be found in Utah. This is a response to my general mailing of your big Remington picture by a dear young friend of mine in Utah, who is not the woman sharp-shooter I talked about. This one, Denise, is an indoor soccer player, slightly younger than my natural children, but equally loved.
    She responded:

    "Wow, that is one big Remington! The Remingtons are my ancestors. No big Remington guns in my family though! And yes, that is a beautiful sniper. Interesting that starting today the U.S. is going to allow women in combat. I wouldn’t want to be one. When I was 20 I came one paper away from joining the Air Force as military intelligence (oxymoron, right?) and going to Germany. Took the ASVAB and had my physical. One more paper to sign when my recruiter went on vacation for 2 weeks and I had time to think about what I was doing. Would have still been in there when Desert Storm started up. My father was Army and then an Air Force DI, and four of my brothers served in the Air Force. Glad I changed my mind. I’m glad there are people willing to fight for our country and ashamed of the leaders who send them to fight what isn’t ours to begin with."

    In my old age I am given children to augment my natural children and to "restore the years the locusts have eaten."

    Today is a very good day.
