I assume that Zed either has carefully disguised range stakes, or well surveyed marks scattered strategically around the approaches and around the homestead. And each window has a range card next to it.
The French revolution was stared over the royalty. They murdered them all. Then after doing so, they got this itch to keep murdering until another war started and Napoleon the I was crowned the new emperor.
The French revolution one the war and lost the peace.
Revolutions are a raging beast without a head.
Maximilien Robespierre wound up under Madam Guillotine’s care and merely let loose a series of bloody tyrannies to follow.
I suppose I’m at odds with many here, but I have more faith in the Framer’s Good Works. We’ll pull through this intact, but the real question is will we learn from this chaos and put the “Progressives” back into their cage by reasserting individual rights and the Rule of Law, or let them try again?
We’ve discovered something that did not commonly exist in the late 18th Century; that morality needs reinforcement through personal hardship.
We have become the victims of our own success.
Amen.
This is why I was and always was a Federalist, and Jefferson was and remains my least favourite of the Founders.
We had a very conservative “revolution” here in these united states, and THEREFORE we didn’t fit the Revolutionary mould that fans of the French and Commie varieties (Vladimir Putin included) glorify. Given a choice between the French variety and a shambolic corrupt governemnt that’s overspending, well, to quote Prinz von Metternich, “Orthodoxy, conservatism, and reaction.”
I’m with Burke and Salvador Dali on this.

The USA had a war for independence, rather than a revolution.

@interventor, two of ’em, one successful one not, but very valuable lessons about means and methods from both.
John mentions that personal morality needs reinforcement through personal hardship…I would turn that around, that freedom of and from government needs reinforcement by more severe means which may result in personal hardship and a renewed morality, for those that survive.
Oh, there. Missed it the first, and second, and … well, times.

Wow, so many of my favorite things. 🙂
First outing to shoot yesterday, .22’s @ 200yd, new optic on a new Base, ran out of elevation but had much fun anyway. Swapped optic for next go round, should have enough. 😉
There’s just something satisfying about hitting a 4” swinger with 6cent ammo a pair of football fields away. Plenty of misses but not by enough to matter. Even a few intended hits on 2” and 1.75” spinners. Wind is very cruel 😉
They made a pretend show of ‘banning’ tiktok up here bu tthe goiv’t is still running advertisements on it.
On the bright side, one of the bought and paid for MP’s resigned from the liebral party, purely to try and deflect blame from sockboy, guaranteed he’ll still vote lockstep with them as an ‘independent’.
As for the Texas buffet above: I’ll skip the scotch, I’d want to be completely sober for the main course 😉

C’est le chemin.
Thumbs Up, among other things
If you want me I’ll be in the marital bunk.
I like garden gnomes holding signs with the range written on them.

Panel 3 – Life may not be fair, but it can be rewarding, very rewarding.
He is working on “Father”. Lovely Sam has been demoted.
Mine heard noise, or the lack there of, from the boys. We did compromise with a gown on the door for when she went all “Mother”.

the french revolution almost executed Thomas Paine because he said killing the king’s pastry chef was going too far.
I can understand both sides of this argument
Especially if the king had a Health Minister.

Love the dragoon.
Looks like a Colt Navy to me
Dragoon, what dragoon?

you need a 34mm tube scope
Love this chassis. Such an iconic look.
I’m a huge fan of peek-a-boob… just saying…
Almost as much of a fan of Glenlivet… almost…
Chris’ late comment and link on yesterday’s ‘toon is a no bs shocker…
Thousands of chicom operatives embedded to carry out…?
And the real deal Trojan Horse called Tik Tok spreading the seeds.
Go back and read that link if you haven’t.
So, a Chicom behind every blade of grass – here. Memories of… oh yeah…Khmer Rouge & Pathet Lao.

Those coins are going to leave a mark every where. Watch the knees . Ouch
The Texas Way, you mean.
I grew up here but didn’t realize how great it was until I spent several years in California and Wyoming. It was a real learning experience.
I also provided the art for the graphic novel, _Roswell, Texas_, which was written by my friend, the late, great L. Neil Smith.
I’m a Texas nationalist now.
Great book! I got both the original and the hardback color editions.
Zar Belk!
I have the new color revised hardbound. Love it.
Thx for doing that.
I have that book, enjoyed it, the Texas hue is, the Indian bikes-or were they Harleys?
They were Indian bikes, based on the real-world 1948 Indian.
Of course, in this story, the company was owned by bona-fide Indians, and based in Texas.
(Davey Crockett also made sure that Mirabeau Lamar, who hated Indians, never got elected Texas President.)
Our hero and heroinne there do seem ready to engage in the American Way…
But she is indeed slathered in the French Dressing to smooth it along.
I’m sure Zed, [ as would I] would be happy to kiss and massage all the ouches away… no matter how long it takes.
