Would you buy something just because ...

Would you buy something just because it is made in USA?

Recently it is becoming harder and harder to buy something that is made in USA. I am looking at my desk and I don't think anything on my desk is made in USA or any other industrial nations.

Recently, I came across a coupon that give me 50% off anything on the site. I was browsing the site to see if there is anything I need. I needed nothing but the shoes caught my eyes. They are new balance 993 running shoes costing $150. It was more expensive than any athletic shoes I have purchased recently (except maybe a pair of golf shoes). But what caught my eyes are big letters saying "MADE IN USA".

I had to buy a pair. They arrived today.

Are they better than $40 new balance you can purchase anywhere but made in China? I don't know. I sure hope so. But "MADE IN USA" has a value. I would like to see more of that. By the way, do you know 100% of PSPINC products and services are made in USA. I hope it has a value too.

Sniper King

Today, I went to see my friend competing for the Sniper King competition. It is a target shooting using amazing guns. 18 competitors are shooting at a target that is placed at 200 yards and shooting 10 rounds. At the end they measure the spread of the bullets down to 1/1000 of inches. Everyone is so friendly. This is amazing.

You expect Monaco's Royal wedding car to be Rolls Royce, Bentley or Maybach. Instead it was Lexus (Toyota). Times has changed. There are lots of videos on YouTube on making of this car.

My friend and fellow Seattle Executives, Mustafa is competing for the sharp shooter competition this weekend. He took his afternoon from his busy schedule to let me shoot some of this prized guns. I really has good time. But he is so good at what he does. At 100 yards, he can put 5 bullets in the same home using his custom made stationary gun. It is an art. He will be in the tournament this weekend at Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Range,

This is me with DEA Assault Rifle.
