To catch up for newbies - start here and follow the links (meaning you need to read the comments, too). Here's another little detail shot. Later today I'll put up a comprehensive clue. You guys are working it pretty well, really. Update: HomeFrontSix reminds me - I *did* promise a more comprehensive picture. Truthfully - I don't think it's going to help much...... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html Sun, 27 May 2007 09:16:20 -0600 So, R-dawg, if you were to assume the cross-legged Creedmore position, and shoot a good score, would you have to be helped up off of the ground and assisted into the ambulance? A person of enquiring mind who is really not that far behind you, when it comes to old age and decrepitude, would like to know. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60491 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60491 Mon, 28 May 2007 01:05:35 -0600 Just as the most accurate 1,000 yard rifle competitors used to shoot from the seats of their pants (Creedmore position), I'm sure that getting the map onto the ground, and oriented correctly, and using a locked body position while seated to cradle and steady that oversize lensatic compass (I'm showing my age now) so as to read off the exact mils to the direct-fire target WOULD be the best way to direct the fire of a 105 battery, 45 years ago when I was taught how to do it in ROTC at Mizzou. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60490 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60490 Mon, 28 May 2007 00:46:37 -0600 Ok ~ it's 'later' and I can't stand it anymore. Care to share the comprehensive clue you mentioned earlier? Enquiring minds have headaches, ya know. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60484 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60484 Sun, 27 May 2007 20:18:57 -0600 8^ ) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60481 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60481 Sun, 27 May 2007 13:50:16 -0600 so much. Thanks! Um, not really. Darnit. This is too much for my poor little brain to handle this early in the morning. I'm going back to bed to try to sleep off this hangover.

We wouldn't suggest he did it so that there wouldn't be evidence of a wrong answer, no, we would *never* be so uncharitable as that... that would be rude to our guests. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60476 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/continuing_the_1.html#comment-60476 Sun, 27 May 2007 11:20:48 -0600
