Gosh darn it!

Stop distracting me with headlines like this and making me laugh. I'm trying to get my taxes done!

I thought they were going to talk about old baseballs, and how they moved through the air faster than newer ones.

In 300 years I wonder if one or maybe two of my balls will still get hot.

Speaking of old iron balls...

Anybody know how to differentiate between an old 16 pound iron shot put ball and a 16 pound used iron cannonball?

I found one in a creek bottom on the ranch. There were Indian Wars engagements fought in this area. There were also several Veteran's & patriotic groups & celebrations etc in the area, including the GAR, so one could have also "walked" from town or a camp, to the ranch, which was established in 1895.

The Sun having a core of Iron is an interesting theory.
