Hi folks, I'm back from Naples. The old man is doing well, and didn't need a second surgery on the heart, so that is good. I'm without easy net access there and that's why I have been absent. To Alf and Santa I will mail your stuff tomorow. . Sorry for the delay, but things looked pretty dire and it just wasn't a priority. My bad.
In my mail today, I got a letter from the NRA. It was like publisher's clearing house. I (and you, if you're a member, and shame on you if you aren't), can win either 21 guns and a safe, a new Dodge 4x4, or an Alaskan Bear hunt. Just because I know it will piss off the antis, I chose the gun option. I mean hell, I wouldn't know what to do with 21 guns, but I do know it will piss off people I detest, so I'll go with that, and besides, I'm a Ford guy and an Alaskan brown bear never did anything to me. I enclosed a fifty dollar contribution and will be getting a nice back pack. If you aren't an NRA member please fix that. There has never been a time so dire as now. Every dollar counts. Folks are talking about buying guns, ammo and mags before the ban. Why not spend a little bit of that money on the one organization who has a chance in hell of preventing that ban from happening?
Send money to the NRA! They aren't perfect, but they are the ones that the politicians listen to. GOA might be more in tune with our views, but they don't have the the clout. Now is not the time to let the perfect become the enemy of the good enough.
