Gratuitous gun porn.

I’m really happy with the way this one came out, given the circumstances. The photo was shot through a glass display case using the iPhone camera.

GHWB S&W

According to the display placard, this is a .38 “Smith and Wesson Special CTG” (Edited to add: I just realized the display placard is probably just echoing the barrel marking) that was carried by George H.W. Bush during his WWII service. I am not completely sure if this is the one that he was carrying when he was shot down. At some point in the near future, I intend to email the staff at the GHWB Presidential Library and ask them if they have a record of this gun’s serial number.

    Nah. The George H.W. Bush (#41) Presidential Library is in College Station, on the A&M campus.

    At some point, my mother and are talking about taking a weekend in Dallas and visiting the George Bush (#43) Presidential Library, which is on the SMU campus. Also the Sixth Floor Museum.

    I’ve decided that, before I depart this Earth, I would like to visit all of the presidential libraries. (I think that may be slightly easier than my other goal of visiting the highest point in all 50 states.)
