We’re going up to Michigan tonight for the weekend, for my nephew’s first communion. I may not even take a computer with me. Be back Monday afternoon.
[Friday night update]
We arrived safely, but things have been kind of hectic, including doing some nice handgun shooting practice in a gravel pit west of Ann Arbor this afternoon (0.22 long and short barrel, 0.380 and 44 Magnum). Visited with family late afternoon/evening, and more such festivities tomorrow and Sunday.
Be nice in comments. Don’t make me come in there…
ha ha. no internet at our house yet. but i have boosted the cell signal and i’ll let you use my treo to text your blog entry.
This again. I think you should be more specific about the wavelength involved. Usually “light” implies wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm, so we should be seeing stuff. Now if you said “ultraviolet blogging” or “infrared” or “X-ray” we wouldn’t be surprised that it turns out to be invisible. Think of the children.
Enjoy the trip! At least the weather is getting decent back home.
And those wavelengths imply frequencies greater than one cycle per three-day period.
I don’t suppose it would have helped if I’d said “light and scattered” blogging?
Well fiber is moving these bits of data so I guess that counts as light posting as well.

Where else are you blogging?
“…and a 30% chance of an isolated blog post by mid-afternoon.”
Oh, wait — that’s me, not Rand.
Hmm. Would “scattered” refer to your psychological state during this trip?
I am just trying to understand the subtext of your personal code words, and the way you have framed them.
And I am making fun of literary criticism.
Maybe a little light commentary would help?
With cat-like tread, upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread, our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all, we never speak a word,
A fly’s foot-fall would be distinctly heard
Tarantara!
Just a minor note Rand,it’s just .22,.380,no need for the 0 & its’ full name is the .44 S&W Magnum since they (along with Elmer Keith) invented it.
But it’s OK as long as you’re shooting 😀
Well, as for the “0,” it’s the mathematician in me, and as for the 44, it was a Ruger… 😉
And I got a nice grouping with it, albeit it had a nice kick to it.
Ruger Blackhawk or Redhawk? 🙂
If you don’t mind recoil you should try the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.460_S&W_Magnum]S&W .460 Magnum[/url].
I made the mistake of using a Weaver stance.My arm hurt for 3 days.
Technically, Rand is right as 1 inch = 1 caliber.
Practically, hardly no one knows these things.
Things like Gauge (a 12 gauge denotes it takes 12 lead balls of bore diameter to equal a pound).
Or Grains (which originally was an apothecary measurement) of whch there are 7000 in a pound.
“And I got a nice grouping with it, albeit it had a nice kick to it.”
Which make for lousy split times. Which is one reaso I shoot a 9mm Glock 19.
Ruger Blackhawk or Redhawk?
Blackhawk. Not for CCW…
