It warms me to know that this subject is an important focus of your life. Since you've heralded the harbinger, let me say: I don't have to -try- and look tough, I -am- part of the military crowd, And I'm from East Tennessee, arguably an ignorant hick.

Reminds me of a .30-06 Mauser bolt gun that Bill Davis showed me years ago one time when I was visiting with him...sheared lugs and all. The son of an avid handloader apparently chose to make a really hot load unsupervised, and fully fill the case with Red Dot before then compressing the load to seat a bullet. Bill's estimate was that the bolt let loose at somewhere above 250,000cup; it then passed clean through his cheek and he actually survived his little mistake. -hh "Everyone who has ever held a rifle or pistol considers himself a small arms expert" - Robert Udell (1935-1996) > Reminds me of a .30-06 Mauser bolt gun that Bill Davis showed me years > ago one time when I was visiting with him...sheared lugs and all.

I realize that "a miss is as good as a mile", but how much did they miss by? I know the charge landed a lot farther away than it was supposed to, but did it clear the ridgeline by a few feet or 100 yards? To clear an avalanche path they may well have to put the charge in a spot that's very close to the top, and it may well be that a short distance off to the side of the intended spot the mountain has chosen to be a lot lower. Some minor variations on the rounds and that pesky wind, and you have to expect the occasional boo-boo.

I can only guess that it also applies to plenty of divers I don't know, but I know some divers with plenty of hair who wear do rags either specifically because of the hair or because the mask strap bothers their ears. After the dive I expect some wear them because they have our version of "helmet hair".

Two extra good points. 1) yes, now that you mention it, I did notice quite an improvement on the mask strap ear thingy. 2) yes, now that you mention it, my lovely flowing locks, aren't so lovely when I remove the banana . . .but then again, the lovely flowing locks didn't look all that great after dive even before the banana. > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > climates wear either full hoods or neoprene beanies...
