The 'Mesdames de Mayhem' are a club of female mystery writers -- short stories, novels, and television scripts -- and are a lot of fun to know. John Thompson has become sort of a go-to resource for many of them for questions about firearms and weaponry; particularly as many of them have never fired a firearm and know little about them. This has led to a one-time 'Mystery Writers Shoot' to be hosted by the RCMI-PC on May 9th on Borden -- the day before our own scheduled shoot of May 10th.
The mystery writers will provide lunch (guaranteed not to have any us turn green and start frothing) and about 10 of them are expected.
John Thompson will be the RSO, but we need volunteers and their firearms for one-on-one coaching on the firing line at Borden. Some ammunition will be from club stocks and the Ladies will be paying to defray the price of ammunition.
The day begins at 0930 on Bay 5. Safety brief, get 'eyes and ears' matched to guests. We'll set up with the normal Figure 11s.
0945: Short talk and display of:
a) a muzzle-loading black powder firearm (assuming some member brings one)
b) a double-barrelled shotgun
b) a bolt-action rifle,
c) a lever-action rifle.
d) a pump-action shotgun.
e) a semi-automatic rifle.
f) a single-action revolver
g) a double-action revolver
h) a semi-automatic pistol.
-- Each demonstration will be short, and will allow the ladies to see how the firearm functions and is loaded. This will be under control of the RSO; once dry with the weapon pointed at the berm, then turn, and once live into a target.
10:30ish One on one shooting (editor's note:I think John means shooting on a one-on-one supervised basis... I hope that's what he means). Members will lay one or two of the weapons they bring with their ammunition on the firing line and let the ladies shoot under close supervision. We'll do our usual relays and keep each relay short (two mags) and then clear and patch targets and let the next relay come up.
We need a variety of historic and significant firearms for this -- especially if they are well known to the general public.
Bay 5 is licensed for the usual pistols plus rifles up to 5.56mm/0.223, so no big bad rifles but carbines, shotguns, and pistols are needed. If you want to bring something heavier to show, please do. We can show it, but we can't shoot it on Bay 5. The ladies tend to be 'mature' and very few have ever shot anything before, so be guided accordingly.
After lunch we'll do a novelty shoot for prizes for the ladies. Quite possibly we'll let them keep their illusions about our own eagle-eyed marksmanship, or maybe reserve one prize for RCMI-PC members.

During a break during the fifth inning of a baseball game at Cashman Field. This question is posed on the scoreboard and the answer appears to be Yes!!!!
The names on the buildings in the background give away the location of this shot. This short eastbound stacker is negotiating the bridge (out of sight, right) connecting the old CNJ main and yard with the old Lehigh Valley main.

I bought a cool drawing programme for my iPod Touch. I did this sketch on my iPod. Not Davinci, but impressive tool, I must admit.
Amber I sure don't know how long it is going to rain, only God knows the answer to that question.
So far here at our house we are not concerned with flooding. However in Reno about 120 miles south west of us the Truckee River is flooding. There are several bridges closed in downtown Reno. It flooded in Reno, New Years 9 years ago.
There is no way we would be going to the Lovelock Cave today either, as we are getting a lot of rain also, and the road may be getting pretty muddy in some places. It is a good thing we went on Christmas Day, and didn't wait until New Year's Day.
Thank you for telling me what grad you are in Amber, so I am guessing you are 7 or 8 years old.
I don't know how many birds there are on the sink, however due to it being a pretty good little lake this winter there are possibly several hundred.
I love Nevada, a lot of people don't. When they look out across my beautiful landscape all they see is nothing, and I see something and a beauty all it's own, that is the difference.
Yes, this is one of the openings that goes into the Lovelock Cave.
Flat Bobby wasn't scared at all, he is a very brave young man, and a good hiker.
Bobby and I would liked to have gone into the cave, but I didn't want Nickey my dog to get in there and get down somewhere we could not get him back out. So we will try to do that another day.
Amber, the cave is no longer very far into the mountain. You can only go right in a very small area behind Bobby. To you and me it would probably seem big, but it is no longer the large size it once was.
You had also asked what kind of rock it is at the cave, I believe it is mostly limestone.
Amber where I live is called the high desert, as it is most times as dry as the desert of the south west United States, however we are much higher. Our house is at 4400 feet above sea level, so we are much colder in the winter than the SW desert is, and we do have snow.
Amber I hope I have addressed all your questions.
Lovelock Cave is a very distinctive feature on the mountain side and can be seen very well from Interstate 80 way across the sink, when you know where to look.

Today's big question was at the dentist - was I to keep my teeth or lose the rest. At the moment I can keep what's left. Whoopee!
Thanks for dropping by, glad you didn't have to make this visit with me? LOL.
This butterfly was on a domed bird feeder roof which is a bit high. Fortunately, a step stool was nearby...lol

This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, and this Flickr set)
): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project six years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past six years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...

This photo is from the J.M.F. (Joseph Malta F.) Haase collection, courtesy of the San Diego Aero Space Museum. J.M.F. “Bunny” Haase was a Navy Chief photographer who documented all the aviation activities from the early 1920 through the early 1930s at North Island that at the time encompassed the Army’s Rockwell Field and NAS San Diego. His large collection also covers civilian and Army aircraft as well. His air-to-air photographs are featured in many aviation reference books but usually under the credit line of US Navy. Chief Haase also participated in the second Alaskan Aerial Survey in 1929 and was responsible for the first US motion picture of the sun’s eclipse done in 1930 that was done from an aircraft.

Being a former TV News Photojournalist, always knew which side of the law to stay on. But there were always times I would have liked to push the limits. Saw this today, and there was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass me by! Muahaha!
