From yesterday, out here in north Texas:
…ugh. “Only 82 days”.

Supervised Charity
I got Flock’d yesterday.
Outside our local supermarket there are a couple of charity collection bins — you know the ones I mean, those dumpster-looking things with old mailbox-type swinging flaps.
Well lo and behold, as I was doing my monthly closet-cleansing routine I looked up and saw you-know-what perched on a pole above my head.
So after I’d dropped our two Trader Joe’s bags into the slot-door thingy, I waved goodbye to the camera:
…and carried on with my supermarket trip.
I know, I know: the camera is only there because some assholes persist in using the bins for garbage disposal, and the charity clearly wants to pass information of said dumpers on to the fuzz for their attention.
It didn’t make me feel any better, though. So I guess I’ll just be finding another drop which doesn’t play Eye-Spy with its donor class. And if they all start doing it, I’ll just dump our donations into a different kind of dumpster in future.
Yeah, I feel that strongly about it.
And you’ll appreciate the next post, then.

Det. Of Righteous Shootings
Choirboy of the usual demographic decides to earn himself some merch by burgling some stranger’s house…
…only to escape with some lead-caused “obvious trauma”, and ending up as impromptu lawn fertilizer.
LOL he probably thought (if indeed he did) that he’d get away with it in Austin, TX.
But they’re not all like that down there in the state capital. As our misguided yoof found out.
Just A Little Difference
From some alleged “Republican” SOTI, with my response:
Feel free to disagree with my selections.
Ugh
Seen at AmmoToGo.com last week:
For the mathematically challenged, that works out to 6.8c per round for the LR, vs. 30c per round for the Mag.
This is decidedly not a knock against ATG, by the way — I buy ammo from them quite often — it’s just a sad reflection on the high cost of shooting the excellent .22 WinMag.
As Combat Controller put it to me a little while ago: “If .22 Mag was even double the cost of .22 LR, I’d shoot it more than LR, every single day of the week.”
Ditto.
I know why there’s such a vast gulf in prices between the two calibers, by the way; I just don’t like it.
