estate sale

Upgraded to Perl 5.8.0 today. …But I was using those bugs!

So I go to this estate sale today to look at some guns, and I’m digging around in a gunsafe and open a pistol box and I see a Taurus PT-92 that I had owned when I was a teenager. High-profile, adjustable Bomar sights meant for something else still shimmed on it, an eraser from a #2 pencil still glued to the back of the trigger to provide overtravel adjustment, and my first checkering job: 20lpi on the frontstrap done with a thread-chasing file. Definitely a blast from the past. I thought about buying it, but I think I didn’t much like it the first time I had it.
