	I checked the kitchen cupboards, laundry products, and refrigerator, today. There were very few 'Advertising Icons of Yesteryear' in sight. I am sure the Calumet Baking Powder "Chief" is on the endangered list. (Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and Land O Lakes "Mia" are gone). I could care less about "Captain Crunch". But, I am worried about the "Sun Maid" and Miller's "Bohemian Girl". I would hate for them to disappear. Both of the ladies are ... well ... Hot!

	The Gold Dust Twins, Goldy & Dusty, disappeared long before my time, Thank God! (I did meet an old white guy once, who, along with his twin brother, was put in 'black-face' and photographed for "Gold Dust" advertisements ... his 15 or 7 1/2 minutes of fame). I am going to miss "Mia" the Ojibwa Maiden. I would go out of my way in the grocery store, just to see her. That Dutch Gal, who use to "beat the heck out of dirt", seems to have faded into the dustbin of history or moved to Canada. She use to scare the heck out of me. (I read that the artist used a 'Black' Model for the original graphic. IDK - She looks pretty Dutch to me). I also read that 'Speedy' and 'Reddy Kilowatt' still appear from time to time. I haven't seen either of them in years. After the 1980 Olympic Ad, 'Speedy' is lucky that he wasn't sentenced to hard-time in the "P.C. Prison" or made to sit in Reddy's Electric Lap! Youth must have worked in his favor and insulated him from consequences .... plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.

	The old and new Savage Firearms logo. I went to their website and the history of the company is gone along with the story behind the Native American logo. All gone now. I do have a firearm with the original logo on the bolt. I ought to be upset with Minnesota using the logo of a Viking, which is my ancestry. In fact, I may have bloodlines to Berserkers as I can go into a blind rage. Being a Packer backer it won't take much to be upset with Minnesota anyway.

	If you look at Savage Arms apparel they have many items on clearance. It appears that all items with the Native American logo are on clearance at a reduced price. Including apparel that says "I AM SAVAGE". This may be your last chance to buy a new hat or shirt with the original logo.

	My wife actually has Native American ancestry, I am trying to find more info for her. In the meantime, I call her Ishwaubenon. Loosely translated to "She Who Must Be Obeyed".

	I guess most wives have 'Native Ancestry', then!

	Alaska Airlines decided to keep their logo with only a few minor adjustments.

	Now they've gone too far messing with religious icons.

	I am and will always be a Savage Arms fan. My first gun at 13 was a Savage-built pump shotgun and I have a few others arms by them including my Grandpa's Savage owned Stevens 22. Arthur Savage's name and a Native American image was a bit of a paradox. But I wonder how the Native American (Lame Deer), who traded with Arthur Savage for using his image, would feel about it being removed. Was he proud at the time when his image was used and he got discounted firearms for his tribe? Did he think Arthur Savage didn't get the best end of the deal?

	By me realtors no longer use the term " master bedroom" because of slave owner association. It is now called the primary bedroom. I suppose it's only a matter of time before we no longer have a master link, master cylinder, master lock etc. What a waste of time.

	Just found this manual for my Model 25 Savage. Chambered in .222 and wears a three pound night vision scope. A 3 pound scope turns any rifle into a heavy weight. Shooting while resting on the car it will make a five hole group that you can cover with a nickel. Target was an X made from 1/8 wide reflective strips, done on a moonless night. Of course it needed a custom base to mount the scope.
