Re: Going to the desert

Maybe preaching to this choir, but I thought your note wes very well done and I'm sure it was interesting to other readers as it was to me. I'll do my best to be safe and careful.

Re: .22 long rifle ammunition

Jim,
It really is an absurd mess. Too bad we are forced to join the hoarders in order to have anything to shoot. On the other hand, I have never been impressed in either Walmart or Academy in Galveston, especially Academy.

Going to the desert

I'm about to go to Saudi Arabia for a three month consulting assignment. From what I see on the State Department's site, I might need a few prayers. It never hurts, that's for sure.
