I shoot trap right handed but I'm left eye dominant.

Ouch. That's not easy.

I hate the ND CC on-range where you have to shoot non-dominant hand. Left hand shooting, right eye dominant; firing a semi-auto handgun I hate the feeling of the slide coming back at the middle of my face (when it usually 'feels' just off the right cheekbone).
 
When I played Legion baseball I switch hit. Line drive righty; contact hitter lefty. Natural right batter, but better BA by 50-75 from the left. Stranger was that I stood more "open" righty than lefty. (I was semi-closed lefty.) That's messed up because "should be" says contact hitters (me left) normally stand open and power righties normally stand closed at the plate.

My then optometrist was at game one day and explained what I didn't realize: I am hugely right eye dominant and my body was adjusting to get that right eye to where it could see best. In this case seeing the ball was more important than which hand was where on the bat when it came to batting average.


All this, this whole draw circles, open jars, swing sticks, conversation just lends to one of my theorems of life: Humans are strange critters.

You see things from the right. Surprise. :)
 
I am right hand dominant with more power batting left but it was nearly impossible to strike me out batting left. It was only after my playing days were over (I stopped after Mickey Mantle so 16? and switched to track for HS) that the vision in my left eye was awful. Had I started wearing contacts I likely could have kept playing.
 
Part of me was hoping that she would have given herself the John McLane treatment after putting all the broken glass on the ground and not having shoes on...

I'll call this a win-win

Scumbags off the street. None of them from Oakdale.

Not sure I agree with ya 100% on your police work there, though.

Unfortunately, the only logical conclusion is that the ones from Oakdale are still on the street. :-(

I figured someone would reply with this.

Didn't care enough to delete it ;-)

edit: it's not like GDO is harboring a better breed of criminal.
