Our middle grandson really made points with me last fall....
He’d been out shooting with SIL and came across AN ENTIRE BOX worth of WinMag brass that some fool had left after (I guess) sighting in.
I even offered to let the boy fire off one of ‘em after I’d reloaded them, but he just squinted at me and allowed as how he would like to grow another foot and seventy pounds before he strapped on that deal.
Smart kid.
Can’t imagine where he got all that sense. I always had to bust my butt before I’d figure out things like that.
This means towers are down.
Not good
From Freeper haywoodwebb and others:
FYI: Not that far from Oaxaca . . .
My boy would shoot till his shoulder was purple.
I’d say why didn’t you stop? LOL
We all saw the compassion they showed with the projects in the 70’s
Ouch!
I cant afford that 223!
$5 a box is my speed.
ABC news just reported like it was no big deal but 7.9 is huge.
Prayers for people in the area.
Hope this is true, but hard to believe...
First reports say no damage:
A person at Acapulco City Hall told NBC News that they felt the quake but had no immediate reports of injuries or damages.
President Felipe Calderon said on Tuesday, via his Twitter account, that there was no serious damage reported.
No damage was reported in Oaxaca, near where the quake hit, according to local television. The front desk at the Hotel Real Oaxaca told NBC that the temblor scared residents but there was no damage.
Earlier the quake had been reported at 7.9 magnitude. No tsunami was expected

Hard to believe in a 7.9
The Richter scale is based on log 10.
1 increment doubles the force
I have seen 6.1 that can do serious damage.
Bookcases fall over on people.
Thank-you!
