I have the Black Rapid with the adaptor plate and it works great. It's comfortable for me but the largest lens I carry is 135L.

I live here and really have not heard any of this "On the news here what we have seen is the THREATS made by some people there to "kill" people over the elections, incite RIOTS, national strikes." Most of the people I have talked to are concerned about our massive debt and probably a long recession for our economy along with a feeling of despair over the direction our country has turned. Of course I'm in that older group of people who believe in personal responsibility. We no longer are a people who believe that we should be responsible for our own welfare. The new normal here is that we should depend on a central government to provide for us cradle to grave. This is to be achieved by taxing the earners (redistributing the wealth) to provide for the rest. We no longer have a moral compass....if it feels good it's ok.

Need to get some of that coloring and put some red in the 'stash for dramatic effect.

The election is over and I accept the results, I did not agree with them but I will not have to bear the worst of the results. I am bothered that my children and grandchildren will. This was sent to me by a friend.
"Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon on 04.28.2010."


"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

I was talking to a friend on the phone that I go shooting (guns at the range) with a couple of times a month. He ask me what did I do this weekend? I told him I shot Indians for a few hours on Sunday. He really wanted to know what range I went to and what gun I used. He is from Alabama!
