Oh, I know - I grew-up in VA and have many fond memories of the Izaak Walton League's Turkey Shoot.
And I bloodied my nose from the kickback of a little .22 when I was like 7 (I kept bugging my Pop to let me shoot targets with it...he let me do so a few times with him holding my arms...I, being stubborn and proud, insisted that I could do it myself).

LLL ( ) - I haven't really taken that many pics the past few days; the last one taken, I posted. Whew, have I been wearing out the "movie" function on my camera, though.
We recently sent-up a CD full of pictures and video, mostly of Meg, to the Grandparents.
All of them have Cancer featured somewhere prominent in their charts (my Mom = Pisces Sun, Cancer Rising; my Dad = Libra Sun, Cancer Moon; Jase's Mom = Cancer Sun; Jase's Dad = Cancer Sun...with a Cappie Moon) and Meg's the first Grandchild for them all. I fear the repercussions if we don't keep them in pics and vids.
Riots in Fairfax.
Horrible, horrible.

I'll see if I can't get a good one of her tomorrow for you, though
