*** NICNAMES FROM THE PAST

[ivan salis]

today 50 and 450 lbs -- COPD --fat out of shape -- could not really fist fight if needed to (plus takes too long to heal up even if i could) --so i pack a gun now

as my grampa said to me in my youth --- son, a young man will fist fight you --a old man will just shoot you --(so do not screw around with old men)---- what my grampa said long ago makes sense now.*
