Guns (happy, not tragic)
Here's the way guns should be enjoyed - punching holes in paper targets and aluminum cans on a blustery spring day with good friends.
I had the pleasure of aiming at a can with Bill's 9mm Kel-Tec (a 'gangsta'-looking gun that's a lot of fun) and actually hitting it. Twice! In a row! I was shooting right-handed and aiming with the left eye. I am definitely left-eye dominant, and am trying to work on left-handed shooting for that reason.
In this shot, Rob is holding Phil's AK47. This was the first time I'd gotten to shoot an AK, and I loved it. I still adore the SKS, but I see why the AK is so popular. It's really comfortable to carry and fire. I didn't worry overmuch about aiming the AK, as it was too much fun to just blast away with it. Some day I'll become less juvenile about 'bang-bang' and actually settle down and learn to shoot properly. Oh, I also shot some cannon-like Swiss rifle whose name I forget (thanks, Eli!) and a couple of pistols and a 20-gauge shotgun. Shotgun makes sense for home defense, and I'd like to try at shooting clays, but I really prefer rifles.
The handsome fellow taking aim with the Ruger 10/22 is my husband. Thanks to the Howes for a great time!!! ¶ 4:29 PM 0 Comments Links to this post

Why there should be more guns on campus
So that someone could take out a shooter before he gets over 40 students.

With a dragon, no country would mess with us, because we have a dragon.

We would again be the envy of the world.

Looming Spring
A gratuitous flower picture. This was a great spring for daffodils. They remind me of my childhood more than any flower. I used to pick them from the pasture for my mother. When I returned to Raleigh from snowy Baltimore late last February the day my mother died, the daffodils were blooming. These are from this spring, when they came up even earlier (some started as early as January). Life continues.
