Just wanted to share this.  This guy was my friends grandfather.  Amazing story.

Mississippi has long been recognized as home to some of the greatest Blues musicians of all time. Barely remembered today is white talent scout H. C. Speir of Jackson who was responsible for finding and recording many of these Blues artists in the 1920s and 1930s.

This is a very cool video. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they have actually found an alien skull? Evident by the lack of media coverage, even if this is found to be an alien skull, it will be greatly ignored by science.

A little more about it:

I wanted to take a minute and tell you about my baby.  Baby Glock that is. This was my first pistol (second if you count the 25mm Midnight Special a friend gave me).  I was looking for an all around gun.  Something I could carry, take to the range and also use as bedside protection.  When I went to the gun shop, I had an ex-marine pushing a Taurus PT-111 down my throat.  I have to admit, I did like it.  He kept telling me the grip was thinner and therefore more comfortable.  Well he lost his credibility when I went to the range and shot the Glock 26.  It felt like it was custom made for me.  I went back to the shop and bought one right away.  I LOVE this thing. 

In the current Obamanation where people are hording their ammo preparing for the demise of gun rights, its very difficult to some across some sizes of ammo.  .380 auto is just about mythological now days.  Well the Glock 26 takes NATO 9mm Luger.  This stuff can be found at Walmart by the cases and at reasonable prices.  This has allowed me to get pretty darn accurate with it.

If your in the market for an all around pistol. Look no further than the Glock 26 or it’s bigger brother, the Glock 19.

10 rounds at 7 yards:

Me doing a one handed field strip and mechanical check in reply to a dare from a Sig fan. Said it couldn’t be done with a Glock. Pffft.

Wow, I think I like this idea.  I am sure there will be opposers.  Seeing as I don’t have to live there, I can understand. This would certainly increase interest on tourism.  I believe Uruguay is the current leader in tourism of the Latin countries. Would be great to see Puerto Rico top that list.
