That's ok. Those are pictures of Afleet Alex when he won the Preakness and Belmont. He is stabled at Delaware Park and I had the good fortune to see him train and win as a 2 year old and this year as a 3 year old. Just kinda fell in love with the horse.

Latest news:

City buses now delivering tons of water to stranded motorists.

Nat'l Guard convoy leaving the city to sit it out in Austin then come blazing back in as soon as the storm passes.

Gasoline trucks are supposedly going to be stationed at each exit of the freeways with portable containers to give enough gas to people to get them to a gas station.

I - 45 is not totally clear yet but traffic is moving now, I suppose because of contra-flow.

Haven't heard anything about I - 10 in either direction or 290, ( Northwest. )

Lake Charles is like a ghost town. 85% have evacuated but I - 10 East out of Lake Charles and all highways North are parking lots.

Storm is still on track to make landfall near the TX/LA border.

Hi Jinxy, I finally got a digitized pic of that Serbian SKS rifle stock that I wanted translated

I know you dont read Serbian but does the pic shed any more light on translation? Hows the home sale going?

Thanks, Im getting desperate to get a historical clue on this thing.
Im about to post a vanity asking for help, tho I know vanities are frowned upon.

Id like more insight on the actual history of the bosnian/serb conflict.
I do know that the carvings of the rifles in that war commemorated many things. regiments, battles, even whos side you were on. Many of these rifles bear muslim markings and the theft of the arms has been documented. but the personal history... has been lost.

Most Of the Yugo SKS's Ive seen bear a "personalized mark".
This one had a picture of what I assume was the owner on it but I destroyed it trying to remove it.

Id like to redeem that blunber by learning more about the man who carried the thing
