E-Postal Match season, that is.
Mr. Completely has the very interesting March target and other pertinent info up for your perusal.
I’m currently testing out one of his OKO holo-sights so I’ll be participating, even though it’ll be in a non-iron sight class and I”ll be getting my clock cleaned.
So now y’all have no excuse not to enter.
Wednesday, March 9th @ 1330, in fact.
That is the date of the public hearing in front of the Washington State Senate Judiciary Committee on SB 5112, the Senate’s version of HB1016, which would allow the use of suppressors on firearms in Washington State. The House has already passed their version, so now it is up to the Senate to run it through their sausage mill.
Barron Barnett has been doing the yeoman’s work in keeping up with these bills and he deserves congratulations for that.
The Democrat controlled state Senate is famous for scheduling and then canceling, and then rescheduling and then canceling again, over and over, hearings on the rights of firearms owners so as to attempt to reduce the turn out. If that happens watch either Barron’s place or here for updates.
A silly question
If union protesters turn violent — as they increasingly have — can you trust pro-union police to intervene?
I say it is a silly question because I don’t trust police to intervene in any situation, violent or otherwise. And especially not on my behalf or for my benefit.
Which is why, if I can’t avoid a dangerous situation, I act to end the situation as swiftly and with as little harm to my interests as possible.

Gold standard? Try laughing stock.
On the plus, Traveling Wave Reactors are cool!
Good analysis. I hope Scalia’s reading. More on this later.
2001 Ford Excursion. 7.3-liter diesel.
260k miles. Purrs like a maned cat. I like it very much.
This is my first Diesel, so I will have lots of questions I am sure.

Haven’t tried it out yet, but this looks like a pretty cool tool.
Last year, David linked to a retelling of John Carpenter’s “The Thing” from the alien creature’s perspective.
Well, how would you like to read Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” from Mordor’s view?
As bad lots go, you can’t get much worse than the hordes of Mordor from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” Led by an utterly evil disembodied entity who manifests himself as a gigantic, flaming, pitiless eye, and composed of loathsome orcs (or goblins), trolls and foreigners, Mordor’s armies are ultimately defeated and wiped out by the virtuous and noble elves, dwarfs, ents and human beings — aka the “free peoples” — of Middle-earth.

Well, there’s two sides to every story, or to quote a less banal maxim, history is written by the winners. That’s the philosophy behind “The Last Ringbearer,” a novel set during and after the end of the War of the Ring (the climactic battle at the end of “The Lord of the Rings”) and told from the point of view of the losers. The novel was written by Kirill Yeskov, a Russian paleontologist, and published to acclaim in his homeland in 1999. Translations of the book have also appeared in other European nations, but fear of the vigilant and litigious Tolkien estate has heretofore prevented its publication in English.
That changed late last year when one Yisroel Markov posted his English translation of “The Last Ringbearer” as a free download. Less polished translations of brief passages from the book had been posted earlier on other sites, but Markov’s is the “official” version, produced with the cooperation and approval of Yeskov himself. Although the new translation’s status as a potential infringement of the Tolkien copyright remains ambiguous, it may be less vulnerable to legal action since no one is seeking to profit from it.
As soon as winter quarter ends, I think I’m going to be buried deep in that.
