A Triumphant Return!

Greetings again, dear reader(s). After a considerable time of remission, I've returned to the world of blogging.
The past several days have been particularly active. First, I had to complete my last full-time semester at university. Once completed, I moved back from my forward-deployed headquarters to the homestead. I've been unpacking and fretting about grades the last several days. I also was emcee for mother's day celebrations here.
Grade-wise, I'm still on track to graduate Summa Cum Laude, so I celebrated with some range time. I took the Enfield (recently certified to be in firing condition), the Winchester, and a simple Marlin .22LR with my brother. An enjoyable time was had by all, and I found my accuracy has considerably improved, especially from the standing position.
I also read this morning that scientists, for the first time, the birth of a black hole 2.2 billion light-years away. Two super-dense neutron stars collided and disappeared, accompanied by a gamma-ray burst. Interesting stuff.
Meanwhile at the BBC, the government of our northern neighbours is beginning to crack. The vote of no-confidence is being ignored by the Liberal Government. It's set to go off to-day at 6:15 PM, and just might succeed. If the motion passes, and the government does not resign, it's a constitutional crisis for the Canucks.
A final note comes from the formidable Strategy Page. It seems that Coalition forces in Iraq have found out exactly why the Taliban has been mellowing out as of late.
