It was just a ranging shot

Something impressive about a hit in one of the most concentrated population centers on the planet not killing folks.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

It's already been a rough week with all our medical hijinks,  I could really use something to brighten my day....and night SMOD! Where are you!?!?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Ranging shot?

So what is that, about 15 hours too much lead to hit California?

Did I figure that one right?

And a little low.

 >:D

ETA No, the shot was ~13.2 hours too early to hit San Francisco.
