Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

CHRISTMAS TRADITION

We established a Christmas tradition four years ago of going to the rifle range the day after Christmas and shooting Christmas balls. It has been a lot of fun. Here are pictures of todays shoot. It was 4 below zero and teh wind was blowing about 5 mph from the west. It was cold as witnessed by all the coats and things.

Line of balls waiting to get shot. You can see the tarp under the backstop pretty well in this shot.

Look really closely at the middle of the picture and you can see the shadow of a shattered ball falling onto the tarp that is set under the backstop to catch the broken glass.

I'm going to buy some ornaments and go do this here with my pistol and JayDee's rifle. I'm waiting for the ornaments to drop to 75% off, though! ;)
