Cool World
Dad gave me a rifle, a very nice game rifle. Barely used. Maybe never fired. It's in a medium- to big-game caliber, and holy cow is the ammunition pricey. In the range of a buck-eighty a round. That is a steep price to pay to get proficient, and given my eye/hand coordination problems, I'm looking at buying a similar rifle in a much more affordable caliber for practice.
It's a Tuesday evening, and due to COVID protocols, there are two NFL games being played tonight. Washington's up on Philadelphia right now, and I'd much rather be watching Rams-Seahawks. This game probably has stronger playoff weight, but two 6-7 teams are not making for the most exciting football.
So far, there's been no blowback from the sale of the Logan County property. The two people I cared most about are happy with Dad's decision. The others, whatever.
We're coming up on far-and-away Mom's favorite holiday, and I've felt both her loss and presence in the last couple of days. I walked out to the Mariner this morning, and there were a half-dozen cardinals in the yard and the trees. The last two gifts I gave her had cardinal designs, and of course I'm a Louisville Cardinal. Friday and Saturday are going to be tough. I expect a lot of tears, and a lot of smiles and good memories, too.
