We always have a lot of fun at the shooting range when we go. But, it’s not always without mishap. Once in a while one of our guns will jam or misfire. Once in a while we will shoot the target off of the hook. And once in a while somebody gets hit by a ricocheting slug.

A recent post titled Global Warming Roundup by Iain Murray calls attention to a number of recent developments in the area of climate change. Go over and check it out.
This is a picture of one of the Vendela Roses in my crystal bud vase this week. The flower was partially lighted from behind with sunlight through the window above, giving it this nice glowing effect.
This week’s pick for Weblog of the Week is Dane Bramage. Dane is one of the original few websites to display the Never Forget Tribute. The Blog has a great deal of home-grown humor and always something interesting to see. We’re happy to name Dane Bramage as our Weblog of the Week (WOW).
