Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

"Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted." - George Rogers Clark

#1 Doesn't curse unless he's angry. "I'm not mad. If I was mad I'd be cursing." He's tall, eats a lot, and is pretty good with numbers.

...unless you're talking about knocking out PC-4. Then he's all like "Numbers? What numbers?"

I'm going with Slim's guess.  The floppy hat is the giveaway.

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)

Than live as Slaves to You"

I sent Brad a "we miss you bunches" message after the KCR event. He said they were talking about getting to an event sometime soon. They miss us too!

And Rayne, you'll have plenty of opportunity to shoot your Axe commercial at Atterbury.  -:)

This happens to be the first Rifleman patch I ever handed out. Anyone know this shooter? He's still around.

I first looked at that picture (#1) and thought, "I don't know who that is."  Then I saw where people are saying it's me and I thought, "Are my legs really that thin?"  Then I looked at the date on the photo.  I was not at an Appleseed shoot on 22AUG10.  I went to Nashville in April of '10 and Evansville in September.  If that date is right that is not me.

You can all apologize now....  Waiting....  Still waiting....  Stiiiiiiilllllll waitiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg......

I still don't think that's me:

-What was I doing shooting a scoped rifle?
-I have never owned camo shorts.
-Another picture from that shoot has me wearing a jacket.
-I only wear orange on St. Patrick's Day
-My legs aren't that thin, are they?  (I gotta eat more!)

Had you borrowed one of Mudcat's rifles?  It looks like a Simmons .22 mag and I know he has had one or two of em.
