  • GoPro video from January IDPA Match

    I finally remembered to take my GoPro to this past weekend’s IDPA match.  Unfortunately I remembered about 20 minutes before I left so I only got about 30% charge, which means I only capture two of the four stages.  I shot pretty well on these two, although I bobbled on the tactical sequence at the…

  • Should I stay (dry) or should I go (wet)?

    Yep, I voted.  I broke my self imposed lifetime ban and voted in the special session called on a single issue for just my county: should it be legal to sell alcohol in Grant County. I voted yes, of course because I would like to drive less when I am out of wine or bourbon,…

  • Distracted from distraction by distraction

    I ran across a small quote from Four Quartets from T.S. Eliot.  Looking up the whole thing, I found the opening of part III to speak to me.  Amazing how poetry can do that through the ages. Here is a place of disaffection Time before and time after In a dim light: neither daylight Investing…

  • They forgot one…

    The county I live in (Grant) is dry (no alcohol sales) but there is a special vote on Dec 22nd to put it to the public to see we want to go wet. I got this in the mail today: A list of all the bad things that will happen if we go wet. I…

  • 90 Second Book Review: Influence

    Influence made it onto my to read pile from listening to some now forgotten episode of the Tim Ferriss podcast.  It actually may have been a few episodes that I listened to in close proximity.  Each time it was referenced as one that “everyone” has read and since I hadn’t I added it to my…

  • What do you mean?

    On the way to drop my son off at a film shoot for a commercial this morning (ah, the joys of homeschooling!), he asked me if I thought the attacks in California yesterday were terrorism.  I told him that depends on what you mean by terrorism.  If you mean what I think alot of people…
