This week I’ll be dogless (and I’m alreay sad about that), driving to Ohio, shooting for a couple of days, then getting ready for the horde of gun-wielding competitors to come thundering in (though not as much thunder as the Open Division Nationals will bring, thankfully). If anyone wants to stop by, I’ll try to get on Glibs Thursday and let people know my final assignment. Currently it’s looking like “Demo Bay,” which means I might actually be able to say “hi” (that is not a legitimate range command so I couldn’t say that if I were running a stage). I’ll be the bearded overweight rat in a gray shirt. I might have a hat on.
The horoscope is actually pretty darn auspicious for me, YMMV. The week starts off carrying over the general good luck/good news of Sun-Mercury-Jupiter with an extra bit from the new moon starting to wax. And then on Thursday (the last day I shoot) the match should end on a high note with Mars (guns) and Mercury (speed) aligning with the Earth and the waxing moon (good). Now during all this time, Saturn will have been slowing down and going retrograde. It seems like this should have an effect on the match since Saturn = lead = bullets, but I’m not sure exactly how. Plus Saturn is in Pisces which is vastly more associated with fishing than shooting, which would seem to de-emphasize its importance to this event. During the match, Leo will not only be hosting Mars and Venus, but the moon, ensuring catlike reflexes and possibly that horizontally-translating targets might actually suck up a shot or two. Seriously. I’ll alpha vertically-moving targets all day long, but horizontal ones are the bane of my scores. Unless they are slow, and there will be no slow-moving targets at this match, I’m pretty sure.

Nice on both counts.
Giant pork loin here.
There’s no such thing as a limit on government spending
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said, “You knew that wasn’t a ceiling. Traditionally, that’s where we are starting. Caps are not ceilings in our world. They are a starting point and then we negotiate from those numbers we have agreed to. That’s how it has always been.”
That’s a floor, not a ceiling. Let’s roll up our sleeves and compromise on a much larger sum.
They are in an upside down world.
I got my diarama in to the store for the contest. Technically the deadline was yesterday, but there were only 11 entrants, so the two of us who arrived today were allowed to enter. We just have the handicap of not having any of the 20 votes cast yesterday.
Is this something we can see online?
Not the contest, that’s an in-person event over the next week.
I was planning to do a write-up for the site once I know who did win. I can post a picture or so of my entry in a moment.
I look forward to a write-up of the event. And a picture of your winning entry.
Here are two pics of my entry:

Another Angle
That is really nice! Is it from a game or fantasy series?
That hyper-detailed painting you do makes my eyes hurt thinking about it. Very nice work!
Both of the figures are the HQ units from the Age of Sigmar launch box, I forget what year it came out.
So, what I wanted you to do after the Zardoz post was this:

Nice!
Count Potato’s link on the 18 year old girl suing the doctors who mutilated her – I couldn’t help but notice that this happened when she was 11, and 7 years had passed. That would mean they were doing that all the way back in 2015, but are still denying they do it to children today.
The modern left has this weird, psychotic tendency to piss on your leg and insist they aren’t doing anything at all. We aren’t banning your gas stoves, but we should ban your gas stoves and here are like 10 state and local governments doing so here and in Europe along with the federal bureaucracy. We aren’t mutilating kids, though here are stories publicly available for a decade of children being mutilated in hospitals and fed castration medicines given to pedophiles. We even have studies done on it!
By comparison, they got into a tizzy because Trump lied about the size of his inaugural crowd. Something that can’t even be proven, and only guessed at.
Psychotic is the only way to describe it. And they have been humored for years instead of slapped down.

That can’t be right. My understanding is that if you take over the legislature’s meeting place you control the entire country.
Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
Sufficiently shitty.
Enjoy the trip!
Meh. Par for the course at work. Project Management = Balls
