I've been riding horses a long time...
Never bothered me...
I of course,have not had occasion to ride them into battle...
Or for months/years at a time...
I can pull a 40 lb bow....
It hangs proudly over my fireplace...
This woman is Acadian/Native American....
Maybe I am missing your point...
What's the issue?
Historical?

Good morning, Tonk. How's it going?

And a very pleasant good morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service for our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Diva. How's it going?

I am reminded that our cousin, Tyonajanegen "Two Kettles Together", went with other Iriquois warriors to various battles in the War of 1812. She also served as their cook.

The Americans (hey, that's us) have this one-dollar coin that bears the picture of a pregnant teenage girl, Sacajawea, who accompanied our other cousins, Lewis and Clark, on an epic long march.

These things are not for your general run of women, but for some they are truly possible.

To use a bow effectively you have to be able to pull it easily enough to aim it; it has to be steadied on a target before released.

Most grown men cannot use a 70-lb bow. Most American hunting bow manufaturers don't even make anything over 70-lbs other than special order. Most English longbows were 70 or 80 lbs and you can be sure that English yeamen were at least as large and strong as Mongols.

The claim in this article that Mongols all used 160-lb bows is basically a flight of fancy.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

A very new and nervous school inspector was being shown 'round a very rough school.

Just as the tour of inspection was coming to an end, the principal asked him if he'd mind saying a few words of advice to a class of unruly 16 year olds, who were going to leave school at the end of term.

The principal managed to get the kids to be quiet, introduced them to the inspector and told them that he was going to say a few words to them.

The poor man was totally nonplussed by the sight of unwelcoming faces staring at him, but he took a deep breath and began: "When y-y-y-you were in-in-infants I'm sure you enjoyed your in-in-infancy."

"As ch-ch-children I'm sure you enjoyed y-y-y-your ch-ch-childhood."

"I c-c-c-can see that you are enjoying your a-a-a-a-adolescence and I h-h-hope that w-w-when you leave school and become adults, you will enjoy your adultery."

[Old Sarge]

Greetings, Canteeners,
FReepers, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!

And here's the dawn report for Day Nine of Sarge's Most Excellent Adventure! After a hearty breakfast of coffee and computer, Sarge will head in to The Haunted Armory.

We got part of our map load yesterday. We get to see the first look at our new AO. Right from the get-go, Sarge went to work on the maps - meticulous stuff...

Our other full-timers are busy prepping things for the SRP, and there will probably be a VTC with our new partners, before we meet up at mob-station. About half of the kids are either off at school, or have been on missions before, like me. Which means, we're already prepared to go someplace; it'll cut down on the workload.

Oh, and one funny note? Sarge did pretty well at the TA-50 shakedown this last drill. Sarge only owed the government $3.92 (for a lost pair of suspenders). Not bad for an old guy who forgets stuff, right?

Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!
