I was going to fire a rant but did not but I might later. These prints are a wonderful gift from Jack. From Spendo.

I thought there would be a problem getting them up on the wall of the downstairs saloon but my son said he'd make room - and he did.

I received them and was feeling OK but as an old Marine I know that the fellows depicted firing with no cover are dead meat.

In the last print maybe the dork with the glove is a modern sergeant waving the three idiots grouped together so that they can all get killed together by a single burst from a machine gun while standing up like assholes begging to die.

Sorry, I was a '65 Marine.

Spendo is what is known as a "nice man".

He's not a drinker. One day at Aqueduct when his DIXIE BOURBON got home he poured a fortune on the bar and made certain that everybody got the "big beer" or the top shelf booze in celebration.
