Ragnarok

A palate cleanser for a Friday afternoon, but it appears that the world might end on Sunday.  The Viking apocalypse Radnarok is set to happen on Sunday, February 22nd.
Viking warriors have begun to arrive in York in preparation for the end of the world.
'Norsemen' from across the UK and further afield are converging on the historic Yorkshire town as Ragnarok, the final bloody battle predicted in Norse mythology approaches on February 22.
Believers say that when the fateful day arrives Earth will split open, unleashing the inhabitants of Hel.
The wolf, Fenrir, son of Loki, will break out of his prison and the Midgard snake Jormungand will rise from the sea.
Sounds pretty grim, doesn't it?  For myself, I'll be carrying my Airweight to repel the hordes.  Tomorrow morning, I plan to go to the range to give the rimfire rifles a workout.  I haven't had any trigger time in several months and it appears that tomorrow will be a good time to work my trigger finger.  Rimfire target work might be a good prep for a Viking apocalypse.

Well damn I just bought a new set of Irons and a Ruger 22/45. Have a good day Pawpaw.

Only an Air weight for Ragnarok? Seems a little undergunned.

Well dang.

Another Apocolypse missed. Shoot.

Someone must have forgotten to carry the three, move the decimal point two to the left or sacrificed the virgin incorrectly again. Or something.
