Level Of Difficulty at Work: .5 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: Medium
Number of Sudoku's from the book finished: 60 / 100
10 May 1920 - 25 September 2006
Forgot to mention. Former Marine Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, passed away Monday, Sept 25th at his home. He started Gunsite, a shooting school in Arizona. He's a very practical man whos ideas lead to many of the modern shooting techniques. Such techniques he developed are the weaver stance when old school techniques as one-handed shooting were taught.
He theorized the idea of a 'Scout' Rifle, a light rifle, capable of taking down someone with a single shot, while having a wide field of vision and yet being very mobile. He was also one of the founders of the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC), the speed shooting of today. His house in Arizona was purpose-built by Mr. Cooper with hidden and additional features to make it advantageous for the defence of his house. They were simple things, like portholes on the stairs and an internally armorerd wall partition on the top of his stairs. Kinda like how castles were built for the advantage of the defender.
He's a very good guy, very insightful and will be missed.
