[b]Back Again[/b]
As the title says, I'm back after extended hiatus. I'm trying to figure out how to blog from home so I don't have to take these long breaks.
[b]1000 Rounds[/b]
Bought a thousand rounds of rifle ammunition on Saturday. I'm a regular at the store, so the gun department manager gave me $75 dollars off, what wound up being about $.50 to $1.50 off per box, depending on what sales were applicable. So I've got a big box of the stuff sitting in my basement, and I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should hold 500 rounds in reserve, as a "don't touch except in case of emergency" stash, or not. According to this manager, the price is going to continue to climb. It's sitting at $4.00 per 20 right now, and that's without any sales. Ouch. Might have to switch over to the .223 platforms. Lower recoil, cheaper ammo, military commonality. All good things, but...I hate to quit using my rifle.
[b]Work News[/b]
Found out yesterday or the day before that I'm not the worst performing employee at RadioShack. I had thought I was the bottom of the totem pole for a while, it turns out, I'm the third best earning employee in the store. That's good.
[b]Another date[/b]
So as I don't go forgetting what I want to remember, I'm adding another date to my aforementioned list of dates. April 8th.

Illegal immigra...er, invasion
Illegal immigra...er, invasion
Last time I checked, the English language contained a very descriptive word for what citizens of another country that enter yours illegally, hoist their flags over yours, desecrate your property, and start sending your money back to their home state. That word is not "undocumented workers," it's "invaders." The crime they commit is called invasion, and it is to their benefit that no one in our current government considers it the act of war that it is.
The border dispute is heating up, looks like that's going to be the deciding issue for 2006 elections. What's funny is, no one is addressing the concerns of the American people. The Democrats *hack, spit* are saying they're good citizens (yeah, maybe of Mexico) and that we shouldn't punish them based on their country of origin. The Republicans are offering up a "guest worker program." And EVERY poll I've seen, in either leftist or conservative media, shows that a majority of the American population want these invaders OUT, yesterday.
Gun stuff
Purchased a nice little military surplus rifle a few days ago. Very cool. The main feature is that it takes the same ammunition as my other rifle, but I wouldn't have gotten it (right now) if it hadn't have been $50 off. Now I'm looking at getting two bolt-action military surplus rifles for Buy A Gun Day, otherwise known as April 15th. I really think BAG day should be April 19th, coinciding with Patriot Day, but Kim du Toit (google that name) declared it to be the final day to get in your tax returns, a kind of "finger" to the US government.
Anyway, my new rifle is gunked up with great smelling cosmoline, and I've got to clean that all out before I take it to the range. This gun will be an "others" gun, I'm going to stick with my other rifle, this'll be a loaner to family/friends if things ever go sideways. Ditto the two bolties I'm looking at. All this'll be under three hundred bucks (or thereabouts) and if I hang onto employment long enough, I'll get a CX4 Storm later in the year.
Friends
Managed to call a friend from Sam Goody last night. That was cool, especially since my friend stated he'd been hoping I'd get in contact. Hopefully we'll get a chance to hang out some time. This also gives me hope that I may be able to contact other friends, however unlikely that may be.
