Here's my latest cool observation.
3 of us were out fixing a roo problem at night, under a very powerful spotlight using .223 rifles.
We swapped seats occasionally and when I took my turn in the back seat I noticed something realy cool.

Just when you think you're having lamb for dinner something bites you in the ass.
