    I got this off the shelf for a reread. It seemed appropriate.

    What are you currently reading?

    I just finished this account of the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, written by the reporter who broke the story with Ken Rosenthal. I appreciated that the author spent time dissecting the Astros’ diseased organizational culture, which started at the top with owner Jim Crane and GM Jeff...

    This is a well-written account of the events leading to and the effects of Gen. Pershing’s 1916-17 expedition into Mexico. I had only the sparsest knowledge of that conflict, and I was surprised to know that I have been to some of the places on this side of the border that Pancho Villa raided.

    Gun cases are cool and so is gun etiquette!

    Some guy here apparently shot himself accidentally … while taking out the garbage … with a loaded rifle. Safety off, finger on the trigger?

    I picked this up after reading a review of Heller’s new novel in the local paper. Heller borrows a lot of his style from Cormac McCarthy, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and this was a compelling read. Good outdoorsy descriptions and good characters.

    CCM Reviews Wanted

    Five stars from me. I’m happy to spread the word.

    Who here shoots a peep sight?

    I have aperture sights on my M1 carbine as well as my old sporterized Carcano and Steyr rifles. I like them much better than regular notch sights, but as with any iron sights, you give up about 10-15 minutes of shooting light compared with a scope.

    Any hockey fans out there?

    Who’s watching game 7 tonight?? It’s been a lot of frantic back and forth with three pretty goals (so far). Still hoping the Oilers can win the Cup for my Canadian friends, but I probably just jinxed them.

    I don’t care much for the Panthers, but I’d pay to attend Paul Maurice’s press conferences.

    This was an interesting history of pirates with a little sociological discussion thrown in about why contemporary audiences find pirates thrilling and entertaining.

    A red flag for me is when the author’s name on the cover is much larger than the title.

    This one was a little disappointing. I was hoping for more detail about how Carson outfitted his expeditions, the gear he used, the obstacles he overcame … but this was a dry retelling of the less interesting parts of his life.

    Snake gaiters or Regular gaiters in snake country

    I’m in Texas, and I’ve encountered enough rattlers and copperheads that I don’t venture out without steel-toed boots and snake gaiters. You definitely want gaiters specifically rated against snakebite. I think that whole thing about “most bites are on the upper body” comes from people trying to...

    Hoping the Stars can close it out tonight …

    Who's been to Iowa?

    I lived in Des Moines for five years. I don’t have any hunting recommendations but I do recommend the loose meat sandwiches at Maid-Rite and the tenderloin sandwich at the Machine Shed. Also the Iowa chop pork chops on the grill.
