09:20 – This morning is the first in several weeks that we haven’t had a science kit sitting waiting for USPS to pick it up. It’s gotten to the point where Lori, our USPS carrier, just says “See you tomorrow” as she pulls out of our drive every morning. I already have overnight orders to ship tomorrow morning, so this is likely only a momentary lull. With the new school year starting, I suspect we’ll be shipping kits pretty much every day for the rest of this month and into October.
Barbara is cleaning house upstairs today in preparation for our friends arriving Saturday. Colin is crouched under my desk, waiting to pounce when the vacuum cleaner approaches him.
After I read about the new BATFE regulation that defines ammunition as a high explosive, I started checking on-line sites that sell ammo. I didn’t have time to get much of a sample, but it seems that ammo prices have increased 20% or so overnight. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them double or triple pretty quickly, and to see the supply dry up. That’s what Obama intended, of course.
The federal government is fortunate that nearly all of us Normals are peaceful types. As this attack on Normals continues and accelerates, I keep halfway expecting to see reports of targeted assassinations of politicians, judges, and bureaucrats. I mean, if even 0.001% of gun owners decide they’ve had enough, things could get very exciting for our masters, and not in a good way. Literally, just 0.001% could start things rolling. And there are certainly a lot more than 0.001% of gun owners who are perfectly capable of taking down a target at 500 yards or more.
