Crop circles are taking on new shapes here in Olathe, CO.  The DeVries cut an amazing maze into their cornfield using GPS mapping, creating a huge picture of a farmer on a tractor.  The labyrinth is open from now until Halloween, but for one night only it will be...

I don't usually add stuff here unless it relates to our life somehow, but this is an exception.  My purpose in linking to this video is not to discourage people from getting the vaccine, but to show how strange the human body functions.  Keep in mind...

Oakridge Gun Range

Haven't been out shooting in a few years.  Picked up a box of shells and went with a few friends to see how much edge I have lost.  To my surprise I seem to be at least as accurate as I was when I was going regularly.  I'm not really great, but I can still hit the...
