1 man + 1 woman = 1,4000 babies

How many people take "Be fruitful and multiply" seriously these days?  Not many.  Several European countries are literally dying off, as is China; and as I recall, the Japanese government is paying families to have children.

On the other hand, you have the Krishevsky family.  Mrs. Krishevsky passed away recently at the age of 99, leaving approximately 1,400 descendants to continue an amazing legacy.  Y'all can read the complete article here, on Ynetnews.com, but this is the synopsis: Mr. Krishevsky and Mrs. Krishevsky had eleven children.  Those original eleven children produced 150 of their own . . . and those 150 had no less than 1,000.  Thus far, there have also been a few hundred great-great-grandchildren.

And Mrs. Krishevksy knew all of them.  Wow.  How refreshing!

"The Chart"

I found this about a week ago while searching 'tier 1' AR-15s on Google.  Basically, it is a chart that compares M4 type rifles from a number of manufacturers, including BCM, Noveske, Colt, Armalite, Bushmaster, S&W, Daniel Defense, and several others.  A lot of the information is not readily discernible from a catalog ad or "I have a buddy" stories.

Perhaps more importantly, there is a list of desirable features to look for in an M4/M16 type rifle, with excellent descriptions and links to some very good pictures and explanations on M4carbine.net forums.  Very enlightening!

I highly recommend all of you interested fellows to take a look.  I can't get blogger "insert link" to work at the moment, but if you'll scroll down to my "Sheepdog Resources" links, you'll find it listed as "The M4 Chart"

No, I'm not dead . . .

. . . just super busy. School started back several weeks ago, and coursework is eating my time. I have a number of future posts percolating in my brain, but I don't have the time right now to sit down and put all of that on paper. This is just to let y'all know I haven't dropped off the face of the earth or forgotten I have a blog.
