I wanted to thank everyone for the help with the guns and reloading. Even the people who don't know anything but offered advice anyway. The input saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

Next order of business: trouble among the HOI faithful. A while back, reader Ruth H. emailed saying her family is going through some tough times. Her niece has cancer, and her brother has serious age-related health problems, and she asked me to keep them in my prayers. So I'm asking you to do the same thing. You're wasting time at work anyway, so a minute or two of prayer won't make things any worse.

Look, do it. This is not a democracy.

Finally, I will be on Nowlive at 9 Eastern, discussing food news of the day. Tune in.
