Authors with Proteges

Did you ever notice how fast a long time excellent fictional “series” ceases to be as enjoyable as soon as you see:
Original Writer and Protege as joint authors?

I understand the follow the money – what is the worst is when the protege also has some excellent characters and suddenly the traits of the protege start being part of the Famous Author’s characters.

Living or Dead – it just means the authors work degrades even if it increases their cash flow
(in my opinion)

bullet diameter and weight

Working from memory so need to double check
The approximate diameter of the base and the weight of a
.22 LR is approx .223 inches and weighs approx _40 grains (2.59 grams)
.45 HP is approx .45 inches and weighs approx 245 grains (15.88 grams)

When a bullet passes thru muscle like perhaps the leg of an animal and on into the animal’s body, bouncing off some ribs and finally stopping dangerously close to the spine; depending on the type of bullet, a few things can happen.

In the case I am most familiar with; the bullet was removed post mortem in the 8o’s – the top half had mushroomed so even with modern day ballistics, an exact firearm match would be unlikely. However the base remained at just under one-half inch and weighed just over one-half ounce. Which confirmed what had been extrapolated from the x-rays taken after the incident.

My parents did not want it taken and sold as a souvenir – as had some other related items.
The remainder of the bullet was melted down and disposed of.

That moment

in: Asides

Most would expect grief to occur on some important anniversary, but that is not how it always works. One never knows when it will come. The only saving grace is that it usually some happy memory. In time you will learn to enjoy that memory and let go of the pain for that.
