When Things Go South
I return to my friend Dennis as stories come up in the future. For now I want to get back to blogging some of my more usual fodder.
There’s a relatively new blog out there called She’s a Garand Girl which is a great title and the idea that she’s joined the blogging world as a Garand owner and shooter brings me a smile.
She didn’t hesitate at the start, trying to find her voice or making a Hello World entry, she jumped in with a series of posts. A very hard series covering an event of sustained violence in which she, young and unarmed (except for a very fine pickup truck), prevailed. The latest post covers the aftermath. I don’t know if she will share more of the story, although I hope she does. There’s more to tell if we’re going to get the rest of the way from then to now.
She has put up a sort of cover letter post with links to the story posts in order. Every one of us needs to read this series. She is sharing events from a very private place and she deserves to be heard and supported. Because if things ever go south and it’s just me and the tools at hand, I hope I do as well as Garand Gal did.
That is one hellva story… Glad she was there!
Linked on my blog too!
She has incredible courage and strength.
That story left me stunned. What an incredible person.
Thank you. I was just the one there to catch the short end of the stick when it came around.
