Had to sign for a Federal Express package for my neighbor yesterday since he wasn't home when the delivery guy came. I don't see my neighbor often but we are on good terms. I carried two boxes inside and looked at them. Both from Cheaper than Dirt. One was about 15 pounds and sounded like ammunition when shaken. The other was light and didn't rattle. When I saw my neighbor come home I called him and had him over for a couple of beers. This guy is on the same page as all of us. A pile of ammo for his AR15 and three 30 round mags. He asked me how I knew what Cheaper than Dirt was. Hell, I told him, they send me Christmas cards! I found it very interesting that people who, a year ago, had their heads in the sand, are coming around to the conclusion that something bad is going to happen.
