Welcome to E D Skinner's Website

I am bankrupt.

I can never repay the debt.

The newest addition is that air conditioner in the upper-left corner. With daily temperatures already over 100 in late May, it’s what you may acknowledge as a necessity here in Phoenix Arizona.

The wife is still on the fence about going downtown today. Yeah, it’s gonna be hot but the light rail is supposed to be punctual so we’ll sit in the car until it’s almost time for it to pick us up at the park ’n ride lot near Christown Mall. Then, it’s $2.50 each for the round trip (day pass same as two rides) to the stop right next to the Convention Center downtown. I have the maps and the schedule right here.

Win some, lose some.

I’ve done my share of the latter shooting against some of the best in the country. Indeed, in the beginning I would go home after the Tuesday evening match at the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club and “brag” that I came in sixth, but conveniently leave out the fact that there were only six shooters.

Today is a travel day, driving from Huntsville to Nashville and then flying home on Southwest.

This was my second visit to the River Bend Gun Club a little bit north of Atlanta.

After work, I drove south from Huntsville Alabama a handful of miles to where highway 231 crosses the Tennessee River.

I have the utmost respect for our law enforcement officers many of whom frequently put their lives on the line – and sometimes lose – on our behalf.
