Came back from the mountains a few days ago, no rest for the weary though but it was good to get away. It was a refreshing break from the rat race, I knew I was in the country when I stopped at the local Huddle House for breakfast and saw a deer head hanging in the bathroom.
While waiting for my meal I read this headline in the local paper, "County to close on shotgun park this week" reading further I discover the county is buying land for a shooting range for the local High School to use. Now that is the way to operate a school. Washington DC take note.
Sounds like high school back in the day; rifle clubs were common, once.
ReplyDeleteRev Paul, I know what you mean, I guess there are still rational schools around.
DeleteWelcome Home Traveler
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob.
DeleteWe didn't have a shooting range but I remember the boys coming to school with a new rifle or shotgun they may have gotten for Christmas. They hung in a rack on the back window of their truck. You would often find a teacher or principal out by the truck holding and admiring the new weapon. I doubt if those pickup trucks were even locked . It is good to know someone is supporting our youth in this way. Glad you were able to get away for some "you" time.
ReplyDeleteMamma Bear, Times change for sure. Thanks.
DeleteThat's great news! Teaching kids how to shoot! Oh HELL yes!!!
ReplyDeleteOld NFO, I am sure this would never happen in NY or LA but it is refreshing to see some sanity out there.
