    On the other hand, I am completely convinced that he is very capable lof deferring. One only needs to sit there and eat ice cream to accomplish that.

    The poor guy can’t pull together two complete sentences, how do you possibly think he can pull consensus on anything from his cabinet and advisors??

    Spoke with Bill at Swift Bullets yesterday

    When I was 14, I complained to my Dad that we never spent time together and I needed more. I knew, however he explained anyway that he had two jobs - 40 hours a week and 2.5 hours Monday-Thursday plus 10 house every Saturday. He told me he understood my needs but didn’t know what to do. On the...

    Watching the news out of California. A small group (10 arrested) of pro Hamas protesters shut down the Golden Gate Bridge with what looked like 6 cars and a few chains for hours. Took 4+ hours to clear them off. I wonder how long it would take them to remove a few conservatives and 6 pickups...

    Todays practice

    Good practice. Moving - making a decision - sight - shoot - reload - shoot again. When I was starting to practice with my Krieghoff.470NE for a Cape Buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe, my PH came to visit during his round of Hunt Shows. I was shooting a target at 50 yards off sticks and doing quite...

    First time to Africa question

    I have always used plastic boxes with both factory and handloaded ammunition. I just make that the hand loads are in their own box and the brass is not a mix of different makes. Then no one can tell, if they even cared, which, over 7 safaris in three different countries, never happened. The only...
