    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    For some international pistol events, trigger pulls can go significantly lower...500 grams (1.1 pounds), all the way down to that found in the Free Pistol event, which has no lower limit. It's common to see free pistols adjusted to have their trigger pull well under 1 ounce (these are...

    Well, yeah. If your dog looks like that, definitely put on Depends before trying to give the shot.

    Alaska Air Ground Stop

    I'm sure their refund policy is inop; but they'll blame Boeing for that.

    Are FAA part 121 ground incidents on the rise?

    Not his fault! The Gategourmet driver couldn't possibly have seen that engine through his windshield before hitting it. (we'll just call this the Alec Baldwin defense) I know, the article says the car rolled into the engine. The driver should have used the parking brake when parking on...

    Private passage for privileged pets

    I see people of all income levels abusing the service animal system. In college, my daughter had a nice piece of luggage destroyed by the chewing of her roommate's emotional support rabbit. Increasingly, staffers at hotels, stores, etc. are counseled that they can no longer even ask if an...

    April solar eclipse

    This is a late trip report, as I avoid posting trip plans to social media until after I'm home. We planned to drive to upstate NY. The forecast wasn't great, but it looked like the best odds were to get as far east as we had time for, on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. We ended up at the...
