Amen!

I have plenty of Italian stilettos. The Asian pieces are just for fun.

An old man like me usually doesn't raise too many eyebrows. I could probably tuck a knife in my sport coat jacket pocket and walk on through. I just don't want to risk the humility and/or the fine associated with bringing back an automatic knife. I'll peruse the shops on Revolution Avenue and see wh...

If I wanted ham, I would have contacted Sean Penn.

Make sure you check the local shops for knives again !!!! Have fun !! If I buy a "prohibited" knife, I'd probably be searched and tapped at US Customs. This would be an expensive mistake. :roll: :oops: Not going to do this. Wouldn't be either reasonable or prudent. Nope, I'll do all my knife shoppi...

PS. Today, the peso is .488 cents (less than 5 cents). It fluctuates, but the prices are attractive when compared to the US.

I am paying $46.98 per night at the Hotel Aqua Rio on Avenida Constitucion for seven nights (3/16 - 3/23). Bottled water and coffee in the rooms, (sanitized daily). Satellite flat-screen television, air conditioning, toiletries in the rooms, the works. You would likely pay a healthy $100-$120 for su...

Did you ever make it down in the Lincoln? No, I figured it all out, and I can fly on Frontier from PDX to DEN, cool my heels for 10 hours and fly on down to SAN in another 2 1/2 hours for less than $200.00. It would cost $550.00-600.00 to take the Lincoln and It would take at least 19 hours until I...

I'll be flying to Denver (from PDX). After a 10-hour layover, I'll have a 2 1/2 hour flight to Charles Lindbergh field in San Diego. I'll arrive at 11:38 on the morning of the 16th. I'll take a bus, then the trolley to the International border at San Ysidro, and walk the 2.2 miles to the Aqua Rio Ho...

Looks nice. I think that they'd be fine as "collectibles" but not much more.

Thanks.

I beg your pardon. It was my mistake. The knives are on Ebay

The word is "too" (meaning also). May I suggest a refresher course in English grammar? Now, back to the question.

The "Black Beauty" autos were banned by the time I understood the fear surrounding automatic knives (I was all of 3 years old). The modern horn scale picklocks were legendary 12 years after the end of WW2. The modern picklocks may not be perfect, but they're close to those of 4 generations ago.

There are some 13" (33cm) on Amazon that looks as if they are Italian but makes no claim to it. Are they with the $35.00 - $40.00 for the "click therapy" (entertainment value) or should I pass?

Opinions? Comments?

The VA gave me both vaccinations. (My last dose of the Pfizer vaccine was on February 15th). No side effects at all.

Three days ago I rose, had 6 eggs for breakfast, and took off to help a friend run his car lot. For the next 72 hours, I suffered from the disgusting, gut-wrenching pains of food poisoning. God help me, it was hideous! I have since recovered and am back on my feet. Sweet merciful crap, this was a ma...
