World's Scariest job?
We routinely climbed the Range control water tower at Dix for a couple years with no safety gear at all. But that is about 150 ft, not 2000. Alos a 250 footer at Ft. Benning, but with gear

This one was close to my house
http://www.app.com/article/20100921/NEWS/100921008/Fair-Haven-councilman-ex-cop-fatally-shoots-himself-on-Jackson-lawn This is very close to where I live, I was out running at about 0450 today, and saw JPD zoom in the development with lites off and a small red car close on his tail. Didn't think much of it, I did run past the end of the street mentioned about 45 mins later, but didn't see anything going on. Wonder why he did it........such a stupid thing to do

Pistol permit question
Thank them profusely, and nicely point out that you are not yet 21, and are returning it to avoid any problems. Preferably to the person that puts them in front of the chief to sign, as they are the one that might get the astcheu if its found out you were issued a permit in error. I bet you will be able to get permits faster than most if you keep the error on the down low and let them fix it, rather than it getting to the purchasing stage and an FFL having to deal with it.

New Chinese Import :)
Yeah, the 2.5+ years of waiting and paperwork prior to going was all to make things go as smoothly as possible once we got in-country. And to not have to go back & forth with ICE when we get back. We still don't have citizenship papers for our other boy She has a cleft palate that will need more work, we knew that long ago,of course. generally, international adoption timelines have been stretched out considerably since the Hague Convention treaty on int'l adoption. For kids with Special needs, the wait is 2-3 years, for non Special needs is 4 years + generally.

New Chinese Import :)
She is from Dongguan, Guangdong province. So we spent the whole time in Guangzhou, just about. Most other people in our group went to other provinces to get the child from China Civil affairs and to all that paperwork for the Chinese gov't, then travelled to Guangzhou to get the US visa from the consulate there. Its the only one in China that does immigrant visas, so anyone adopting or immigrating has to go there. The great thing is that she is a US citizen right after processing at the Port of Entry (EWR). The ICE people were happy to helpout, its a bright spot in their day, after dealing with 1000s of tired surly people on line in Newark.

New Chinese Import :)
Thanks, everyone! She is 23 months old, will be 2 on 19 Oct. This is our 2nd adoption, we have a boy from Korea who will be 3 next month. He is not quite sure what to make of her yet, but our 5 year old is thrilled to have a baby sister. It was an interesting trip, very hot and humid there in South China. The Chinese people we met on the street are used to seeing adoptive parents in that area and some were very interested in her, and were happy that the kids were getting homes. Guangzhou (Canton) is spiffing up for the Asian Games in Nov, and there was a lot of construction going on for that, as well as big high rise apts going up all over the place. Saw a lot of that also in Beijing. Tons of traffic on very narrow roads, gazillions of little and bigger shops selling anything and everything you can imagine. We did get to a Carrefour store, and the Jade & Pearl markets Firearms wise, only saw a few PL Army with flap holstered guns at gates near the consulates on Shamian Island. Did see a guard with a black AK pattern rifle with bayonet extended at a gate to a military base that our bus driver went towards by mistake. Only stayed a few hours in Hong Kong, unfortunately, I did want to see that city. Ah well, now we have an excuse to go back that way!

New Chinese Import :)
Well, after much waiting and a long trip to China, we have Samantha now, still a bit jet-lagged, but she is settling in fine with us and her brothers. China was fascinating, could go on and on, the good and the bad. Dunno if/when I will at BA again, will try to make the JCG match at CJ in Oct----

NJ LEGAL M1 CARBINE
Meh. You can't control what people will do, if it was messed up by people calling in 50,000 time a day, I can't say as I really blame some of them, after all who wants to be the test case for some anti-gun prosecutor? Also perhaps a few of those calls were from Anti-Gunners (NJ Ceasefire, et. al perhaps?) Anyway the poor LT in the NJSP that may have had some leeway delegated to him/her to determine if a particular product was legal under the dopey 91 AW ban, now will surely not go out on a limb at all. Nor will his successors. I agree on that.

CMP Match Sunday 8/15
I WON! Well, came in 3rd, and got $10 back from John Donald! I have no idea how the scoring works, I didn't have the 3rd highest score by a long shot, but was maybe the top of the bottom 3rd? Whatever, next time 400 or better!
