After travelling from Colorado to SA, and then overland to camp, one always hopes the scope and mounts are still intact and sighted in.

Don't see anything but a shapely hand and finger. Oh! Wait! Black on black is hard to see!
Excellent!

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
