    Anybody Still Make Painted Tins?

    Godless on Netflix

    It is an interesting show. I am bothered by one detail. Each program starts with several images. One shows a bug leaving from a Over and Under shotgun. I do not believe that they were made at the time period of this story. Any contrary comments?

    Where to Get Replacement Calabash Bowls

    I have picked up a very used gourd calabash pipe. Bowl is no good. I have not found a replacement. Is Meerqueen still in business? I saw that they at one time had replacements.
