While wadcutters may be the Devil’s Suppository, this seems to be the real thing.

Respectable Woman
Our weekly trip to the range consisted of the usual faire; a couple of our .38 caliber revolvers, a 9mm pistol and our 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. This week, we borrowed a Glock 26 9mm pistol from the range for a ‘test drive’ since we’re thinking about adding one to our collection.
I shot some video of Damsel when she was firing her 20 gauge and, later, when we were trying out the 9mm Glock. This reminded me of a cubicle placard that Damsel used to have – it said,
“I am a respectable business woman – do not [screw] with me.”
So I went with that thought and put this video together.
Paraskavedekatriaphobia
The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, a word that is derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Friday, thirteen, and phobia.
Some guys, however, don’t have any fear whatsoever . . .

The Gun Family
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your beautiful family depicted in the rear window of your SUV or mini-van? With Dad, Mom, and all the kids’ names? You’ve seen those rear-window decals around.
But I’d think twice before listing my family members’ names for all to see (maybe some sicko predator would like to know your kids’ names). So this is my solution to listing our family members that I want folks to know about . . .
Don’t Fall For That Old “RedEye Mind Trick”
Carbon Offsets are shaping up to be the new “Ponzi Scheme” in America where the first investors flourish and the last investors get conned out of their cash.
From Financial Times via Hot Air.
Companies and individuals rushing to go green have been spending millions on ‘carbon credit’ projects that yield few if any environmental benefits.
A Financial Times investigation has uncovered widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organisations are paying for emissions reductions that do not take place.
Others are meanwhile making big profits from carbon trading for very small expenditure and in some cases for clean-ups that they would have made anyway.
The growing political salience of environmental politics has sparked a ‘green gold rush’, which has seen a dramatic expansion in the number of businesses offering both companies and individuals the chance to go ‘carbon neutral’, offsetting their own energy use by buying carbon credits that cancel out their contribution to global warming.
Put on a Happy Freeze
If it’s a warm weekend day, I indulge our dog with a frozen puppy treat. Yesterday when I opened this Frosty Paws, I saw a happy face smiling back at me. It made me laugh out loud, so I had to get a picture of it before giving it to Bear.
