Next one down the range is for your honor, Georg!

and today is also the 91st anniversary of the assassination of the "Big Fellow" Michael Collins.
I visited his birthplace ( his family farm that was burned down by the Black and Tans) and where he was killed but never made it to the Glasnevin Cemetary where he's buried even though I was umpteen times only a mile from the cemetery and drove by it more than umpteen times.

Hey George, are you going to let him get away with this shot? ;-)
