gun sane

According to people who make a living crunching ballistic data, the .380 ACP is pretty much like the old .36 Navy, which Wild Bill Hickok carried. And nobody to my knowledge ever criticized him for being under-gunned. That said, I defer to Matthew Quigley's famous quote: "This ain't Dodge City, and you ain't Wild Bill Hickok."

I live just over a mile from the Vulcan limestone quarry SE of downtown Maryville. Every month or so they blow up a new section of rock, which gives a brief jolt to my house, but a more intense shake to those closer in. I understand that quite a few houses near the quarry have foundation problems, but I have footers about 10 feet deep and no damage in the 20 years that the house has been standing. I don't know how Vulcan gets away with it, but it's just another thing we have to live with.

Glad to meet you, Buck! Thanks for helping us get a bigger Maryvillan coalition here at TGO.

Friends and I were down by Calderwood Lake just ahead of the Dragon about the time it hit. We were riding in the car and didn't feel much since we were making a lot of twists and turns anyway. When we stopped to rest a couple came up and said it gave them quite a jolt. The good Lord does shake us up at times in one way or another.

A tense story with a happy ending. It appears the whole family is messed up. Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office considers charging parents of kids caught with gun

Big congratulations for the achievement! May they excel in all they do.
