Thoughts on the Day

  • If you’re putting a Desert Eagle in the hands of a brand new shooter, you’re doing it wrong.
    • What is it about a Deagle that makes people forget range etiquette and the Four Rules?  I swear, every time I go to the range and someone has one of them, I get muzzled along with everyone else on the firing line.
  • Being the first shooter on a stage where the no-shoots are mostly behind the targets you’re supposed to shoot means you’re going to take a penalty.
  • While driving to Knob Creek this afternoon, Girlie Bear asked why there were so many strip clubs on Dixie Highway.  I had no good answer to that.
  • If you’re looking for a great hamburger in a neat little cafe, Christie’s is a hidden treasure.
  • Watching an older gentlemen clear out the X ring of a target 150 yards away with a 10/22 reminds me that I need to get to the range more often.
  • At a birthday party today, Boo made 20 consecutive trips up and down a two-story, inflatable water slide.  Needless to say, he wasn’t very animated for the rest of the evening.
  • Irish Woman is making a new jam that seems to consist mostly of fresh pineapple, coconut rum, and lime juice.
  • Speaking of which, I can’t wait to see the coupons we get from the grocery store after their computer systems analyze a trip that consisted of a fifth of coconut rum, a can of cream of coconut, shaved coconut, six pineapples, ten pounds of bananas, two loaves of bread, and two pounds of butter.

    “…why there were so many strip clubs on Dixie Highway. ”

    I have lived here most of my life and I don’t have a good answer for that either, Perhaps it is a combination of a less well-off area and a legacy of nearby Ft. Knox.

      Probably. It’s just striking how many there are between the Snyder and West Point.

        There used to be a lot more of them down around Muldraugh and Radcliff. Most of those are gone now, but there are still a few adult bookstores there.
