A Bottle Opener At The Ready

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • May 15th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’ve kept a bottle opener on my keychain for years. There was one time many years ago when I was stuck in a hotel room with no opener, and vowed that would never happen again. And have you ever noticed there always seems to be a line at the party …



Aggressive Denizen of the Range

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • May 15th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

We met this gal (?) guarding the berm at the range today. Her shell was about 12″ end to end. Unhappy with our arrival, she had no hesitation in advancing aggressively as we approached.

Wikipedia accurately notes “Common snappers are noted f…



They Can’t Have a Rational Discourse

Richmond’s Hardywood Park Brewery has been in the news frequently after bursting on to the Virginia craft beer scene late last year. Their beers are getting very favorable reviews, and they even brought home a Bronze medal from the World Beer Cup last …



At The Range: Reason Prevails

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • May 10th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s always refreshing when that happens.

I had a lunch date with my wife this week — at the range. We both had new ammo we wanted to try out, so Colleen suggested “Let’s just take the steel. It’s quicker to get set up.” (Eat your heart out boys.)…



Seems Like A Bad Idea
