Neanderpundit

For the second time in as many weeks I’ve had someone say “I feel intimidated by the DuToits”.

Good god.

Now, I understand, I’m not a person who is very easily intimidated. You can get me mad, but few things- outside the illness of a family member- cause me fear.

But: having spent some time breaking bread (and cheese!) with the DuToits, I can safely say- these are the decentest, nicest people you will ever met, if you ever get the pleasure to meet them. And a pleasure it is. gracious hosts (they let me show up at their home, and invite a person THEY NEVER MET to come there too) they entertain as if born to do so- without being ostentatious. Their home is comfortable and clean and reflects exactly the kind of personalities they have- complex, reasonably well organized, and chock full. And Kim and Connie are exactly the kind of people you want as friends- they would stand at your shoulder in a crisis, and if they had but two dead rats, they’d offer you one.

Intimidating? No. If you can meet them, do so. You’ll see.

In the process of loading some 30-06 for the purpose of sighting in a new scope, and I have discovered that I have over 500 rounds of 30-06 brass! Damn, at 20 rounds a pop, that’s a lot of shooting.

I guess I should be buying up that privi partisan 7.5 swiss- enough shooting and I’ll have a thousand rounds of that as well.
