Sure is a shame.

I’m very sorry to hear that this seems to be the case, he’s having to fight for his life here.

Terrible!

The standard NATO battle rifle round is 7.62x51. The SKS Combloc round is 7.62x39.

Prayers, and Mrs. Strac and I went down to give blood today. Know it won’t end up in Mr. Scalise, but at least, it’s something.

Have good weekend.

Exactly.

It’s the anesthesia “hangover” that often takes 4-6 weeks to recover from post major surgery, not, in most cases, the “cutting and stitching.”
