No one knows how long the Winchester Model 1873 sat there, or who
might have left it. All they know so far is that the lever-action
repeating rifle was manufactured and shipped by Winchester in 1882,
one of more than 25,000 made that year of what came to be known as
“the gun that won the West.”

Very good. Thanks.

What do you do when that tweet facebook bar is on top and it makes
scrolling so much harder? Is there a way to get rid of the bar?

I left an antique light bulb in my bedroom closet in 1962/ But my
mother sold our house in 1966 while I was away, and I forgot to tell her
to get the bulb. The chain for the light fixture in the closet was
broken, so I thought that was a good place to store it. It had a point
on the end. It's not 132 years, only 48. Do you think it's still
there?
