 BB guns are a type of air gun designed to shoot
projectiles named BBs after the birdshot pellet of approximately
the same size. These projectiles are usually spherical but can
also be pointed; those are usually used for bird hunting. One
of the most famous BB guns is the Red Ryder BB Gun byÂ
Daisy Outdoor Products, modeled after the western Winchester
rifle. First introduced in 1938, the BB gun became an iconic
American toy, and is still in production today. Eye protectionÂ
is essential when shooting BBs, more so than when shooting
lead pellets, since a BB bouncing off a hard surface can retain
a very large portion of its initial energy (pellets usually flatten
and absorb energy), and could easily cause serious eye damage
up to and including blindness.Â

“Ooh Rah, Devil Dog!” – Ron
Devil Dogs: The German Army coined this term of respect for U.S. Marines during World War I. In the summer of 1918 the German Army was driving toward Paris. The French Army was in full retreat. In a desperate effort to save Paris, the newly arrived U.S. Marines were thrown into the breach. In June 1918, in bitter fighting lasting for weeks, Marines repeatedly repulsed the Germans in Belleau Wood. The German drive toward Paris sputtered, fizzled, and died. Then the Marines attacked and swept the Germans back out of Belleau Wood. Paris had been saved. The tide of war had turned. Five months later Germany would be forced to accept an armistice. The battle tenacity and fury of the U.S. Marines had stunned the Germans. In their official reports they called the Marines "teufel hunden," meaning Devil Dogs, the ferocious mountain dogs of Bavarian folklore.

Charmed by the warmth, beauty, and charm of the small town of Cortona,

herself. The home proves to be more of a handyman's special than she
imagined, but as she slowly gets the hang of household maintenance,
Italian style, Frances develops a new confidence as she makes friends
with her neighbors and finds love with a handsome local named Marcello
