(with tongue in cheek), I didn't see where the range limit, bore sight line, calibration pad, yada, yada, yada. Here in SOCAL, people get upset over a carbide cannon.

Now if the critter *wants* to ride on top of the car, that's different. I mind being around the corner at the house of my kitty's previous human, drinking her excellent whiskey and talking about all sorts of things, when said kitty would show up and demand to be transported to my place. I'd make my excuses, go out to the 1980 Chevy Malibu station wagon, the kitty would climb up on top, hang on to the roof rack , and exhort me to drive him home. And I did so, but very carefully and slowly. Hey, that's what the cat wanted. P.s. The artificial grins on the faces of the Romney family in that pic frighten me http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hi_fires_june_2_2.html#comment-61628 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/hi_fires_june_2_2.html#comment-61628 Thu, 28 Jun 2007 23:55:01 -0600 So this design for a minitank I've spent the last 8 years toying with...
