Well, I monitor the ASF and they are still at their old game.  Seems now that if they disagree with you, they send you hate mail.  I guess when you get twenty thousand members on a forum, you are sure to get some nut cases too.  I've had some of that mail in the past myself.

Everyone is wondering when Spring is coming.  Well, in Minnesota it arrived this week.  Nice sunshiny days and temps in the fifties and sixties.  Heads up to the east of us.  It's coming your way. 

The shootings at Virginia Tech were horrific!  The school has banned all guns from the campus.  Even off duty police taking courses are prohibitted from carrying a gun.  If only one of the poor victims had been carrying, imagine how much less slaughter might have happened.  As a soldier I endured being shot at and it was not a good feeling, but at least I had a means of fighting back.  I can't imagine how horrific I would have felt not being able to defend myself and waiting to be shot.
