Empty House

 The time came sooner than I expected. Friday morning the Husky/Shepherd (15 YO) lost most of his back legs motor control. He would stumble, fall down, move in circles and held his head at an angle. Yesterday we sent him to dog heaven to join our little Sheba Inu. We've had those 2 critters for 13 years. We've lost both this summer. The house seems empty without them. Out of habit I look for them when moving about the house and yard.

The little terrier stray the Boss picked up earlier this summer helps fill the void.

Lunatics

There might be one or two, but I don't remember a right wing lunatic shooting a lefty in my lifetime. Not sure about the Kennedys. It seems that attempts on the life of a conservative is becoming way more common. I expect that at some point the situation will reverse. 

Swiss K31

Managed to make it to the range with the K31. Had mixed success with a couple of reloads. The best produced a 3 shot 100 yd group of 1 inch. I was satisfied with that until I followed up with 5 more. With a warm barrel the group opened to 4 inches and hit 3 inches higher. I guess that has to due with the banded full length stock.
