Quizzical Wednesday: Which of the Ten Commandments Are You?

You Are "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

You are a very peaceful person, and you try to avoid hurting a fly if possible. You believe every life is sacred, and you wish there was no killing in the world. You have a kind heart and a passion for social justice. You wish things were more fair. It breaks your heart to know about hunger, poverty, disease, and violence. You are working towards change!

Canned coffee

Stopped at Kaupo Store on the south coast for a refreshment and found Iced Coffee in a can that hit the spot.  Can is sitting on the hood of our Jeep.  Yes, it is bright yellow.  We are such tourists!  

Beers in Paradise

Drinking local beers at Cheesebuger in Paradise in Lahaina.  Last time I was here I wasn't old enough to drink.  Crazy!  

Maui Sunset

Drinking Mai Tai's on the deck of our condo watching the sunset.  Ahhhh!

Life has gotten a bit routine for you lately, and you'd like to broaden your perspective. You want to learn and grow from your adventure. You want to know the place you visit as well as your home town. You are an open minded and curious traveler. You're all about immersing yourself in local customs, no matter how foreign they are. Whenever you're in a new place, you try to speak the language, eat the food, and meet the locals. After all, that's what traveling is all about!

Quizzical Wednesday: What Card Game Are You?

You Are Bridge

You are a thoughtful and conscientious person. In fact, you're a bit of a brainiac. You get a real thrill from mastering difficult tasks. You get bored if you aren't being challenged. You are competitive, but you aren't a sore loser. You take a rational approach to competition. You work hard, and you're persistent. You don't expect to be a natural at anything.

Quizzical Wednesday: Warm or Cool?

You Are a Warm Person

You are welcoming to everyone you meet. You are friendly and even a little touchy-feely at times. You are curious about people, and you find a lot of value in friendships. You need lots of human connections. You are bold and enthusiastic. You like to try new things, and you crave a challenge. Your energy comes in bursts, and you tend to burn brightly until you burn out.

Shootin'

I learned how to shoot a gun tonight. One of my colleagues competes in shootin' (his word, not mine) competitions and mentioned it a while back. I said that I had always wanted to learn how to shoot a gun and he offered to teach me. I don't think this will become a regular thing for me and I don't see myself ever owning a gun. I simply wanted to know how to shoot one to add it to the list of things I've done.

First Target, originally uploaded by JewellsinSEA.

The first couple of trigger pulls were terrifying. I am after all the girl who is afraid of champagne bottles and Pillsbury dough containers so pulling a trigger to make a big bang was the part I was absolutely dreading. But once I got used to it I got comfortable and towards the end of 50 rounds I was pretty good, if I do say so myself.  The target above was the first of three.  The target pictured below was the final target.
