Free Ice Cream Machine on the Fritz

Sorry, all. We've been a bit slow posting here.

For me, it's not the lack of gun-related news — the recent court decisions, overturning not one, but two (2!) provisions in the venerable Gun Control Act of 1968 (the prohibition on any involuntary committal to a mental-health facility, as applied in Tyler v. Hillsdale Co. Sheriff's Dept.; and the prohibition on interstate handgun sales, even through FFLs, in Mance v. Holder) are, as "Crazy Uncle Joe" Biden says, "A big F-ing deal" — or the lack of interesting local news.

It's just Life, speaking in its Outdoor Voice.

Not to offer empty platitudes or excuses, but work has been Hell On Earth, and it's been hectic at home, too, leaving shockingly little time or energy for even reading up on events, let alone researching and writing about them. "Life doesn't just stop and wait for tech support," I say at work; I can attest, it doesn't take a break for blogging, either.

So let me offer my apologies to our readers for the lack of new content. Here's to hoping we can get the Free Ice Cream machine fixed, and soon, and get back to our regular schedule.

In the meantime, as always, stay safe.

The Dumbs Equinox

Two long-form posts hanging fire, work, showing the house, and early brain-death have prevented today's post. 

My apologies.

I might just have to go to the range for some recoil therapy. 

Happy First Day of Fall.
