Tiny forgot to bring his eyeglasses and had to get close to his work.

And others mused whether it would blow back, blow out, or fire.
After a while and to the surprise of many, the dang thing actually worked.

The road crews were busy clearing a path for me though and I enjoyed a safe return from a fine weekend of wonderful fellowship and fine guns, even though no one prepared me a plate of succulent table fare as was done for KGB's great little dog.
