Long Weekend, so Long Update
Nov. 30th, 2015 09:36 amI had a nice Thanksgiving downstate, and hope your holiday (if you celebrate) was equally nice. The chief crisis of Thursday was that my key lime pie had not quite set, so got a bit runny after a lack of refrigeration. Next time, I'll need to test it before calling it done.
Friday was rainy, windy and cold, and so we spent the day inside, helping Mom with Christmas decorations and in my case doing some writing. On Saturday, which was sprinkling, windy and cold, we decided to leave the house. First, Dad and I went to Cayuga, IN to shoot skeet. There were eight people in the clubhouse, but only three of them were motivated to shoot.
Then, in the afternoon, Dad and I visited the Fluid Event Center, which is a grandly-named ex-warehouse, to visit a gun show. Dad was looking for a holster, and I was just looking. He found what he wanted, and I got to hold a KSG - Keltec shotgun. This is a futuristic weapon (enough so that I used it as the standard police shotgun in a novel). It's a downward-ejecting bullpup shotgun with two six-round magazines. The weapon, even unloaded, is quite heavy, but very short. Should one want or need a real "crowd-pleasing" shotgun, consider the KSG.
On Sunday, I came back up north, and caught a 4 PM showing of the latest movie in the Hunger Games series. The theater was reasonably full, suggesting that the movie is doing financially well. I concur with Anne Geyer - the movie did the ending better. Overall, I had a nice weekend, and now I'm back to the salt mines.
