Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!
Andrew, I do indeed, though not as a heritage learner, ironically. I'm learning it the hard way.
Mr. Anizi, thank you for the warning, I'll keep my eyes open in the future when I'm reading articles on weapons that appear to have priorities other than the exploration of the art or function of the tools of war.
And Ariel, I LOVE UVA!!! It is a wonderful town, Charlottesville. Though to be honest, I haven't been to a single football game yet, which in this town makes me half a man! Football rivalry gets almost absurdly intense here...that said, TECH SUX!!!
Just kidding. Kinda.
Thanks again for the welcome, everyone!
