Headed for Houston

So tomorrow morning bright and early I'm headed out for Houston.  My plan is to stop in Ft. Stockton, and then drive on to Houston Sunday.  I'm taking the 'Stang. 

I'll be taking a technical class for two weeks, but at the end of it is the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, which happens to be scheduled at the same time as a major gun-blogger get-together!  I'm really looking forward to meeting a lot of people I've read but never shared meatspace with, and seeing others that I only have met once or thrice.

I am working on another Überpost, but it probably won't go up before Sunday night at the earliest.

And congratulations to the various Massachusetts police departments who got to put on their full battle-rattle, drive around in their armored vehicles and practice house-to-house searches while looking for a guy who was actually outside the perimeter they'd set up.  But they got him, and I'm glad.  Thankfully for Chris Matthews, both of the bombers were Caucasian (by definition!) but they were Muslims apparently practicing Jihad.  Who's the sad clown now?
