Did you wave and pleasantly greet the neighbors too?

Anyhoo... South Texas summer heat is on down here, stumbling around in the brush a full month late doing bird counts feels like hard labor, and is. So hot I left the dog at home, ain’t fair to her.

Actually had reason to pop off a round from the ol’ Glock 19 yesterday, fuggin feral hogs that ain’t shot at do not fear humans shouting and waving their arms. A boar hog wanted to invade my personal space (which in that context extends at least 25 yards), just an average sized hog (150 lbs?) and not acting aggressive, just indifferent. Anyways, a round into the dirt sent him off in another direction, which beats the crap out of unloading that and the the other fourteen rounds into a squealing, thrashing hog when you gotta count birdsongs.

That was the only time I’ve ever had reason to discharge a firearm in anything remotely resembling self-defense. A Glock 19 sure can be a useful implement to have at hand.
