Our last outing at Red’s indoor range in Pflugerville, Mr. B. put four .22 rounds in the black bull’s eye. Obviously improving on our semi-auto Ruger pistol.
Still has trouble with our double-action, Smith & Wesson .38 revolver and its bigger kick, but we’re working on it.

The Way It Was…and now it isn’t
Good stuff from Andy at MyOldRV

And I learned both of them thanks to the latest Texas teacher rapist. Sort of rapist. If we can take cBS reporting as factual. Big if, even with Dan Rather gone.
She’s no rapist under the law that is the first thing I didn’t know about Texas: That age 17 is the age of consent. Seventeen year olds are not jail bait. Unless…
Unless the law that is the second thing I didn’t know about Texas applies: It is illegal for teachers to have sex with students. Pretty cool. If true.

It’s likely to be the only snowflakes we see around the Rancho. We’re dreaming of a green warm Christmas, just like the ones we used to know, before winter started starting in November. Not this year. Mid- to high 70s for the 25th it looks like now.
Fine with me. I miss warm Texas holidays. Be good to return to them, at least this year. Even if we have to listen to the usual babble about global warming climate change. People have such short memories. Not that the pols help.

Seems like only yesterday. It was Dec. 9, actually, we were recounting a legislative committee’s finding that some Texas women high school teachers are having trouble avoiding sexually abusing students: statutory rape it’s called.
Comes now Haeli Wey, a former math teacher at posh Westlake High School on Austin’s prosperous west side, who faces up to 20 years in prison for not one, but two, second-degree felony charges of sex with 17 year olds.
You know a convicted male teacher would get the max time. Haeli certainly should, too. Then maybe this growing epidemic of Texas women teacher rapists would at least diminish, eh?
