Saturday? They’re all running together…

*Both of these are now in the Shop at the link up above.

A couple I finished this morning. Both for 4″ or 4.25″ 1911’s, and both what we call “half-lined.” The interiors are smooth leather, and the back panels are roughout. Basket-stamp on the left and the Barranti Leather-style hammered finish on the right. Both natural oil premium Hermann Oak leather and both are available. I’ll have them up on the websites later today* with all the details if you’re interested. If you’re sold and can’t wait…shoot me an email to BruceGibson@aol.com and I’ll ship it to you Monday via Priority Mail. Satisfaction guaranteed.

No waiting list, no backlog, and no advance-orders accepted. I apologize for the last one, but that’s the only way to offer the first two.

From what’s left of America…

Reactivated.

I took about five months off to work on other projects. Gave up 100% of my “social media,” and pretty much stepped off the world train. It was, in a word–awesome. Turns out, I didn’t miss much of anything. I did miss a lot of the people, so my herd instinct brought me back.

If you believe even a small portion of what the drug company supported commercial media is spewing out there, you’d think the entire country has pretty much gone to hell. In a lot of ways, I’d agree that it has. But, fact is, we really don’t have that luxury. We’ve been through worse, with fewer options.

I had shut down this web domain at BruceGibsonDesign.com and put more focus on my domain at GibsonLeather.com. I decided that I wanted the punishment of trying to maintain two websites, so I reactivated this one with a new theme, and very little planning and direction. I don’t have a blog on the other site, and I missed it.

Overall, I’ve learned that most of the time, ignorance is, in fact, bliss. We don’t have enough letters in the alphabet to name all the storms in a busy hurricane season, ALL gun laws are unconstitutional, our immune systems are shot, most politicians aren’t people we’d allow into our homes, and it really doesn’t matter who the President is. I’ve seen a few over the last near-60-years, and I can’t name one that has made what I’d call a “difference.” That’s probably a good thing–if they had that power, we’d really be screwed.

Beyond all that, it’s nice to be back.
