and then I clean up and pack out to Castle Rock, WA, for the Appleseed Shoot. Since it is almost now, 235 years since the shot heard round the world, on April 19, 1775 at Lexington and Concord and then all along Battle Road back the neck at Cambridge. Something to ponder on, those of you that aren't going to the range this weekend, those of you that don't remember how this country started and why the United States of America won the war before the first shot was ever fired. Lots of good books out there to read about the subject. I did watch an A&E special on the Revolutionary War and its beginnings, and they did miss the details - but it is very difficult for those today to understand the talk, the thought, the sense of destiny that the people had in their community. Their personal sense of Responsibility - knowing that all good would only come from their own actions, not something that was luck, or Royal decree. Only their own actions, the way they saw the world that was and what they wanted it to be. And they would risk death to make it so.
