Back from Texas...:-(

So I'm back from Texas. Which makes me super sad. But I had a FANTASTIC time. It was incredibly fun. We landed in DFW, flew to Midland, stayed there for the night. Then went to San Angelo Wednesday, stayed there until Friday, went back to Midland for the night, went to Nazareth Saturday, back to Midland for the night, bummed around Midland Sunday, flew back into DFW, flew back to Indy, drove back to school. It was crazy. But awesome.

I don't have much time because I have to go to work, so I'll cut straight to the technology part, but I will update with further details for Ellen later since I know that she is missing me.

Technology:
I got to shoot some targets over break with some guns that I had not shot before. I shot the .22 again and I hit a target about the size of my palm from ~100 yards, I was pumped. I also shot a 9mm pistol and a 30-30...not sure how to correctly write that, but it's a big rifle that has some kick to it. It was awesome, but the technological part that I'm going to connect to it is that I think it is amazing how something as old as a gun is still around and still used for so many years without too terribly much altercation. Yes, they have been updated and modified, but not to any extreme extent in most cases. The inner workings have been a little refined, but if the people that used the first guns were to pick up a gun today, they would still be able to use it. I think that means it is a pretty well designed piece of equipment. Effective through the years. It's just nuts. Completely pistachios.
