For those of you unfamiliar with the raincoaster gene pool, here is an introduction.
This is my grandmother, age ninety-something and legally blind in both eyes for more than ten years, blind in one eye since D-Day, enjoying an afternoon’s shooting out at my cousin’s house. That is my cousin helping her hold up the rifle. The family that slays together stays together.
Note, if you will, that the propane tank is between the muzzle of the gun and the turkeys in the next field she is aiming for! Let it not be said that we are a race of namby-pamby risk hedgers.

{shudder} Has she taken the courses and is she licenced with a PAL?
If not … it’s a good thing I’m not her neighbour.
I also note the stack of beer cases in the foreground. Certainly there’ll never be any need for genetic testing …
Of course not and of course not. There aren’t any neighbors for two miles in any direction.
And I knew you’d catch that, Metro. Gramma is strictly rum and ginger, though.
Ha! Now you got me singing “Grandma’s got a gun”.
I will never forgive my husband for making me get a gun card – yuk! Now I fit into these deep woods we moved into.
At least before people were joking around that I was marching around the house with an axe guarding my 3 daughters.
Gee, we make ours out of steel. I wouldn’t think card would work very well at all.
“Cheney’s got a gun” works better, actually.

…. errr … just remind of your views on Anti-disestablishmenterianism …. and whether Gross-Britannien should join NAFTA … to enable to register my Agreement fifthwith before I have a potentially wounding divergence de l’opinion

>*&!! Neighbor @@@@\\
Always remember, Junior Eagles also read your Excellent Blog !!!!
But junior eagles are not turkeys, and my Gramma only shoots turkeys.
(And, for the past ten years, guide dogs.)
She doesn’t need a guide dog: she has my cousin, and he’s far more useful, because he can drive!
I hope he can drive if she keeps shooting him, it may come in useful in getting to the hospital ;-)
Cheney’s got a gun….
Hey – at least that smack that song is out of my head now..
awww damn it! it’s back again.
Well in her defense I must say that Gramma would unhesitatingly shoot Dick Cheney, so there is that.
