The date could be determined by finding when flights from Wuhan to the rest of China were stopped. That was the date that the PURPOSEFUL attack on the rest of the world began. I wonder if it could have been Dec. 7? Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Racism

I'm with you on hating the race questions. I was being admitted to the hospital for knee replacement and went on a rant about the race question. The health care worker patiently explained it was for genetic tendencies to disease. Oh. I'm a mixed race background. Half Sicilian, half Calabrese.

[MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: June 1

Those look like handgun rounds. Might they be useable in a BP rifle with a plastic sabot? I wonder if such sabots could be 3D printed, if none are commercially available. I do see odd lots like this on gunbroker. That would be the place to sell IMO. Greg -Original Message- From:

Anyone have a clue? DIL had to bring the 2010 GLK350 to the dock in HNL for shipment stateside because my boy is PCS from his USCG cutter in HNL to a small boat station in Warrenton, OR. But she gets a code when starting up, and Uncle will not accept a vehicle with code for shipment. So she

Re: [MBZ] OT guns on sale too! now cooking your goose

In general, game is much leaner than agribiz raised meat. This requires different cooking techniques to even be edible. If it can be prepared rare, like venison or wood duck, it will be tender and delicious. Otherwise, a wet cooking is better. Venison sausage requires plenty of pork fat. Chili
