Hey SM, speaking of all these Winchester rifles, I assume you have been to the Winchester house in San Jose. That place is really a trip. Rumor has it, that Sarah Winchester felt so guilty, because of all the people killed by Winchester rifles, that she went into a building mode, and never came out of it.

Been there twice. Once before it got so commercialized, once afterward. No rumor about it. She was told by a psychic that the after life was not for her because of all those killed by her husband’s rifles but if she kept building on her house, providing room for their spirits, they’d be mollified, and she’d never die. Didn’t work. She died.
