Rule #2: Better safe, than sorry.

Rule #2: The Double Tap
"You think it’s dead (technically it was before you shot it), one more makes 100% sure."


Columbus has a lot to say about The Double Tap. While he is not into wasting ammunition, Columbus is sure that using one more bullet is a wise choice. It's all about using your resources wisely. And being sure.

Yesterday was New Years Day, and what a beauty of a day it was. I left my house to go to a NYD brunch, and on the way I put the windows down and opened the sunroof. Birds were chirping, the sun was out, even the tulips were sprouting in the garden of the party host.
After a few hours of mimosas, tequila sunrise, and chocolate wine (Ho.Lee.Crap.That.Is.Good), I headed home in equally gorgeous weather. I left the top open.
I kept my eye out the window. Still sunny. Still good.
I decided to enjoy my last few minutes of a quiet house before my kids came home. Part of me said "Go out and close the car up", just to be sure that some freak monsoon didn't descend on my car. The other part (the mimosa/chocowine part) didn't feel like being that responsible.

I shoulda listened to Columbus. Would it really have cost me that much energy to avoid the entire interior of my car getting completely soaked, including 2 books from the public library.

So, when there is a question, always go with the Double Tap. If that extra bullet will ensure that Zach is dead, or getting your lazy ass up off the sofa will ensure your stuff doesn't get soaked, go with it.
