Damn fine shooting Dan! I could only hope to match that. Well done Sir!
I will gladly take your advice. Thank you.

If that were true, it would have arrived centuries (if not millennia) ago, wouldn't you think? I'm not really an optimist and the older I get the more disgusted and cynical I get with my immediate society, but I do study a little history and realize that in the larger scheme of things, the world tends to right itself and the doom and gloom is merely the bitter musings of tired old men.

Hahahahaha. Bitter musings of tired old men. I can relate to that!

I'm sure I will too one day, if I live long enough. I can see it coming.

Rockydoc, good to see you posting again. Good shooting, too!

Dan...Sure would like to see a pic or two of that Bob Owens Springfield. His stock making was the high water mark of American rifle stocks.

In 1897 Grandfather was born in a small village on the outskirts of what is today the large town of La Piedad, in the state of Michoacan. It’s on my bucket list it go down there someday. I’ve spent some time in Baja Sur and Baja Norte, but never gotten over to the mainland.

You are correct I will always be seen by some down there as a guero gringo.

In Hawaii as a Haole.

In Japan I don’t know what the word is, but they cross their arms and won’t let you into their restaurants.

And whatever you do don’t order an omelette in Paris before 10am. They’ve got a word for people who do that too.

I’m still gonna keep traveling, no matter what they call me!

Joining this drift of thread a little late, but in the spirit of showing that, amongst the lot of us, we possess the knowledge of the the world, in Japan the term is "baka na hakujin". Translation, baka=crazy; na=of or the; hakujin (pronounced 'hakujeen' (haku=white jin=person).

She just didn't want to hurt our feelings with the fouler versions!

There are very few places where you would be safe in Mexico these days and Michoacan would not be one of them. BTW "Piedad" means "piety", I am willing to bet the people there don't live up to the name.
