A ruined neo-classical styled mansion just outside of Chepstow in South Wales located in Piercefield Park between the racecourse and the Wye Valley. It was designed by Sir John Soane in the 1790's but was in decline by the time it was purchased by the Chepstow Racecourse Company in the 1920's. It was alledgedly used as target practice by American troops during WW2.

The former Piedmont Service Station in Chase City, Mecklenburg Couunty, Virginia is a classic structure with the Gulf orange and cobalt blue colors. The pull through area (port cochere) is expansive and covers a large area, including an asymmetrical wall pattern which matches the interesting angles of the covered area. The station dates from about 1925. It has been well-preserved, down to the decorfative pressed tin ceiling of the covered area (see images 8 and 9). A mechanic's bay is located on the left part of the building. The Gulf sign is complete with bullet holes. This must have been a prime location, occupying a corner lot. It's not in operation today. Is is a contributing structure in the Chase City Warehouse and Commercial Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places 12/11/2020 with reference number 100005923.

Took Sarah target practicing at an indoor range and she liked the symmetry of these .44 magnum rounds.
In the wide open spaces of the American West, wind can build up speed, generating a lot of force. It often blows things around---dust, tumbleweed, and the smoke produced by the burning of marijuana fields (but some people don't complain about this). It can also cause inconvenience or do damage.
A frequently-heard complaint is from homeowners who have rotating clotheslines in their back yards: wind-blown tumbleweed grabs onto and immobilizes the clotheslines, making them impossible to use. (Have you ever tried to pick pieces of tumbleweed out of a knitted blanket or lacy underwear?) Another annoyance is the tendency of the wind to spin weather vanes so fast that birds cannot perch on them. This disrupts migration patterns, leading to all sorts of trouble. Bags of ping pong balls that are accidentally dropped to the ground are swept away at great speed, never to be seen again by their careless owners. Local governments are affected too, as highways signs get knocked down, and it costs money to replace them.
This photo, taken near Mountain Home, Idaho, illustrates the ingenuity of simple-minded rural folks who try to help the government cope with the ongoing problem of blown-over highway signs. Members of SIUCWWV (Stupid, Idiotic, Uncaring Cretins Who Want to Vent) have taken it upon themselves---with no prodding by the government---to lessen the chances that highway signs will be blown over by the Wild West winds. Their approach is to install pressure-reduction holes in large signs with the goal of letting enough wind pass through the signs that there is no longer enough force to knock them down. It based on the same principle used by makers of large advertising banners: the semicircular flaps cut in those banners do the same thing.
In this depressed economy, these volunteer efforts are on the decline: ventilation-grade ammunition costs money, and people have less of it these days. Thus it is no accident that in March 2009, the United States Congress got involved. Realizing that the nation's highway infrastructure was in serious trouble, Congress added a significant allocation of funds to the SIUCWWV. The hope is that this injection of money will put money in people's pockets, which in turn will stimulate a new wave of ammunition purchases, which in turn will improve the country's highway infrastructure. In an attempt to provide "transparency," the legislation stipulates that the funds are not to be used for personal activities like target practice (at firing ranges or elsewhere).

On New Year's Eve we went down to the family hunting cabin to do some target practice with friends. Mr Chiots wants to do this every month so he's ready for deer season this year. He's hoping to have 3 deer in the freezer after 2010 hunting season.
Notice the shell falling from the gun and the smoke coming out, took a few takes to catch the shell on camera!
