I had my dogs in the back fenced yard and they went ballistic. I looked out and there was a fox stumbling around outside the fence. Obviously it was rabbid which we have had much of in my part of the county this last year. I grabbed the nearest firearm which happened to be my Colt Diamondback that I used to carry as a deputy. At 45-50 feet with one round the fox was "grave yard dead". I haven't fired this particular gun in near thirty years but I keep it loaded just the same. Now I will have to clean it for the next thirty years.

Managed to get a short 4 day break recently to France and Belgium. The better half and myself decided to try and track down the grave of my great uncle Thomas who was killed at the Battle of Paschendale in 1917 whilst serving with the Grenadier Guards. We tracked his grave down to a small community cemetry in Wimeraux near Calais, it turned out that he had been wounded at Paschendale and died a few days later of his injuries at the military hospital in Wimeraux. It's a beautiful cemetary overlooking the coast, it's also the same place where John McRea is buried who wrote "In Flanders Fields". Anyway here's a few pictures from the trip and one of me signing the memorial book...... Incredibly moving experience.

Last month out riding. A rider ask me if I had ever seen the grave in the middle of the road. It is 5 or 5 1/2 miles south of Franklin Indiana east of U.S. 31 on 400S. So I had to get out today so I rode out to see it.
