Optics are medium level at best, but probably good enough for the varmints that I might be shooting.

Today's ARs are something to look at, but I'd still be happy to just have my old Vietnam era M16, could easily hit anything I shot at with the peep sight. Of course, today my eyes would probably have trouble lining up a yellow school bus at 100 yards...

First thought was I could and should go, since I've met her a couple times, then remembered my current situation, sure wouldn't want to give her what I've had this past several days, and evidently it has a long contagious period. Looked for Al's phone number but haven't found it yet.

Didn't intend to look at anything to do with oscars, but hard to miss the slap. Could you imagine the uproar if that had been a white actor instead of Will Smith?

Bob, the comment about the oscars would be close for Minneapolis, too, local news has something along those lines just about every day, not much that isn't racialized or genderized.
