September 2: Yes, It's a Real Gun

Saturday, September 2, 2006

​It amazes me how many people ask “What’s ‘shooting’” when they see it listed as the afternoon activity. 

The response, “Target practice.”

“With a gun?”

“Yes, a .22.”

Then they are in shock because we use a real gun.

One English lady said that in Europe, they can’t understand why Americans want guns, but after being here and seeing the wilderness, it makes sense.

It’s been agreed that I’ll stay here with some others during the off season. We’ll each go on vacation for a week or so. Keith says that it is nice here in the off season with no guests and the work we do helps us for the winter season. 

We had a minor collision in the kitchen tonight and I got hot minestrone soup all over me. Keith said I could go change and I did. I’m not sure why I find such events amusing, but I guess it's better than getting upset over them.
