If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

So what ever happened to Mervyns? I guess Khols killed them off since they disappeared about the same time Khols started showing up.

They painted my very first vehicle a 1986 K5 Blazer. Did a horrible job but its all I could afford. No wonder they went belly up.

I just realized how much my hometown has lost over the years. When I was a kid we had Western Auto, Whites Auto, Motts 5-10, Gibsons, and a real grocery store.

I was visiting a GF in California recently and there was a Winchell's next to the hotel! I think she was a bit upset that I was nearly as excited to see that as her. My bad... As for my list: Wilson Sporting Goods W. C. Franks Yesterday's (Arcade)

Handy Andy Woolco dept store Gibsons Discount Center not a store, but Texas Gold Stamps, given out by HEB, and redeemable at Service Merchandise Store were a pretty big deal us back in those days.

So what ever happened to Mervyns? I guess Khols killed them off since they disappeared about the same time Khols started showing up. Mervyns was my go to store. Kohls suck because they don't carry big man sizes.

I wear 2XLT and 3XLT shirts, depending on who makes them...and they have those and I've seen up to 5XLT on the rack with those...not sure how much bigger they go, though.
