LOL! Happy Birthday!
Just found your blog, and I"kll be a regular.
As it happens, I was born on the 50th anniversary of thew adoption of this magnificent invention, and (obviously) just celebrated my 50th as it celebrated 100 years of service...
...so I do have a special connection with it. One of them is my carry gun.
Keep up the good work.
