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.

2013 TRADITIONAL SHOOTING OF THE CHRISTMAS BALLS

This is a photo of me finishing off the last of the Christmas balls at our traditional visit to the rifle range.  It is always fun for me to take the kids and grand kids that want to go out and shoot the glass balls I spend much of the year looking for at yard sales and at DI since they make very few of them anymore.  If you look close at the photo you can see the parachute cord strung across the plywood.  There are a couple of pieces of balls left that I shot before we pulled out.  I also shot the screw holding the parachute cord in placed on the right side.  That made a couple of participants smile.  Me and my youngest son.

THIS HAS TURNED INTO A FUN TRADITION THAT EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD TO.

I'm so sad we missed this year.

I missed it, too, MJ. I stayed home with the baby. It was too cold for her and I am the non-shooter, so it made sense.
