Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so
interested in
the church connection. Is there something there we are not
getting, or
is he just somehow trying to paint religeon/conservatives/guns etc
into one picture? Why was the mans occupation even noted, and would
the story have been written if he was say a barber? Just wondering,
the writer seems to indicate this type of seizure is not unusual...
hummmmm...

Cultural thing I suppose. Up here, normal people wouldn't think of
carrying a firearm...let alone a church official.
No hunters or target shooters in Canada, huh? Wow, times have sure
changed
since my uncle took me hunting up there.

"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting
or target shooting.

There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target
shooters
also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If I
go
hunting, I carry a firearm.
Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' !


"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or

I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean
"packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think that
is the way Don was using the term.

Speaking of fortuitous...how nice that you should mention Tilley hats as I
was in the market for a hat. And, at the same time, the closest store
carrying Tilley's was having a 20% off sale. Now we are both proud owners
of a Tilley. They are a very comfortable hat!

They are great hats. But, are they still claiming that they float? If so,
don't believe it for a moment. I lost one a couple of years ago when some
serious wind blew it off my head. It landed 10 feet away in the water, and
sank instantly.

They say:

Like the Titanic, it Floats.

It Can Also Sink.
One reason your Hat floats is because of the air trapped inside the
water-repellent fibres. The main reason, however, is the layer of
closed-cell polyethylene foam in the crown of the Hat that also protects
your noggin from blunt objects. (People have told us this feature has
actually saved their lives!)

Certain types of wave action can sink your Hat – and you. You will find
that your Tilley will neither sink – nor fly overboard – as long as you are
wearing the cord behind your head and under your chin.

The Hat has a positive buoyancy in relatively still waters; waves and
rapids may sink it and hold it down for hours. It is up to you to take the
precaution of tying it on. The wind cord is like a seatbelt: Useless Unless
Worn.

It is your responsibility to tie it on!
