#1 I was really worried this was close to us but it turned out to be further up into Houston. Still, good job. Houston CCW owners seem to be fairly proficient and/or lucky when it comes to incidents.

#4 The ~~former~~ Marine went to his pick-up truck, "retrieved a semi-automatic pistol, and told a bystander to call 911."

FIFY. Sounds like it could have been a Clint Eastwood line. Maybe he should have called the undertaker as well. My money would have been on the Marine from the gitgo.

#5 It's almost 15:00 Zulu and an F-150 just rolled into the lot.

I will put the TeeVee on the ArcLite 24 Channel.

#6 I drank ArcLite 24 a couple of times. All the best liquor stores in Oakland carried it.
