Whittington update

"Dr. David Blanchard...said a roughly 5 mm piece of shot became lodged in or
alongside Whittington's heart muscle..."

5 mm.

5 mm?

Everything is bigger in Texas, I've heard. Y'all got some KICKASS quail
down there!

somewhere in the land where buckshot doesn't usually come out until
something truly fierce......like squirrels or bunnies.......does.

didn't they used to use those kinds of shotguns to hunt ducks on Chesapeake
Bay? I'm surprised Cheney could lift one.....

Cheney uses a 28 gauge which is on the small side and he's an
excellent shot.

Good thing for Whittington!

(Does this mean you think he meant to shoot him?)

Interesting. If Blanchard actually said that, I'd wonder if it isn't
two pellets (5 mm would be about 2 7 1/2s).

And 5mm wouldn't be buckshot, it'd be more like a BB or BBB...I figured
a old Daisy hand such as yerself would know that...have you ever even
seen a Sheridan Blue/Silver Streak?

Interesting.....or not very.....if you actually said that.
