Well damn. I click the link and the very first person I see is an old, old friend of mine that I'd lost contact with. The heavyset guy in the plaid, he and I used to be good friends back when I lived in NYC and drove ambulances. He lived a few blocks from me and used to hang out at the local vol. ambulance corps with me when I was on duty. We used to go to the shooting range together and he always brought his suitcase of pistols. Yeah, an actual American Tourister hard-sided suitcase with all his pistols dumped inside. Lost contact with him after my second divorce and then I think he moved upstate because the drive was taking a lot out of him.
