This weekend, I enjoyed attending my first Ricochet Meetup in Kentucky, dragged along by my good friend Melissa. Here are the Top 10 things I learned over fantastic bbq and local beer:

10. Kentucky BBQ is fantastic. Red State BBQ & Marks Feed Store — Yum.

9.  Betting on horses isn’t profitable (please don’t tell my husband).

So, I saw this and my immediate reaction was “Yep, the environmentalists have wanted to close off parks for humans for years, and COVID gives them cover to do so.”  BUT THEN, I realized an opportunity presents itself: Assuming capacity is limited, what’s to stop a group of like-minded folks from scooping up all the passes […]

Well, we finally checked in to our hotel in Rapid City in preparation for the South Dakota Meetup tomorrow.  Having driven cross-country to Denver and back a few times, I was always impressed by the flatness of Eastern Colorado and Kansas.  Well, South Dakota has eclipsed those two states.  Here’s a picture taken from a […]

Here’s my deal.  Some of you know that I am putting together a Ricochet Meetup in the Black Hills of South Dakota this September and then in October of 2021 we’ll be doing a Bourbon Trail Meetup in Kentucky.  For both of these there are a ton of choices of things to do and see.  […]

I must be getting old, because I forgot to write this up before Thanksgiving.

I had a Mini-Meetup in Aiken with @drbastiat and his dad. He was on his way to round up daughters from college for Thanksgiving, and was passing through. It only lasted about forty minutes, but we had some coffee at a local McDonald’s as we chatted.

Stalwart Atlantans are holding another mini-meetup next week: Thursday, September 13, 7pm, at Fado Irish Pub in Midtown.  Note that searching for “Fado Irish Pub Atlanta” yields the Buckhead location as the first hit, not the Midtown location.  Be sure you head here: 933 Peachtree St, NEAtlanta, GA 30309 Preview Open

I dreamed last night that I was on some kind of commercial space flight.  The vessel was wide and spacious inside. Wide blue seats, seat belts, well-lit. Suddenly it was a Ricochet meetup, too. I think I sensed more than saw other members. Like, I think @rushbabe49 was there.  But anonymous was definitely on board, […]

Greetings, I am a Wisconsinite in Minneapolis for a few weeks of work. Fellow member Nitwit MN and I want to get another Twin Cities event together. We’re going to meet on Thursday, November 2nd. We’re open to venue suggestions, as our last event in downtown Minneapolis (2015) created traffic jam headaches for several Ricochetti. […]

Most folks will be getting into town at some point on Friday afternoon or evening.  I am no Las Vegas pro.  If anything, I’m a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-within-reason kind of girl.  In this spirit, I’m giving general ideas up for suggestion or change.  Suggestions will be taken before Wednesday next week.  After that, it’s too close to […]

From February 13th to the 18th, we were in the Phoenix area, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. During that week, most days we met with fellow Ricochet Members. For some reason, I was not a picture-taking fool this trip. I have no photos of any of our meetups except the last one, and […]

Hello fellow Ricochetti!  I am again advertising the meet up in Las Vegas.  We will have at least one dinner together, possibly at HofBrau Haus.  Plans include going to different Las Vegas museums to relieve the golden days of gambling, nuclear arms testing, the mob, and neon.   Then again, it *is* Las Vegas, so […]

Meetup Kay and I got together today after a year. We live about an hour from each other, and I just don’t get out her way very often. We had good conversation and looked into a couple of establishments for the 2017 Montana meetup. For various reasons, including the fact that it was chilly and rainy […]

Depending on the weather next Wednesday or Thursday (July 13 or 14) at noon, Western Chauvinist, Trink, Ben, and I are getting together for lobster rolls on the Chatham Fish Pier on Cape Cod for a mini-meetup.  Cape Cod weather is difficult to predict, so on Sunday night, we’ll decide whether the meetup will be […]

Mr. Cooke, America’s foremost pundit on Second Amendment and Free Speech issues for his combination of charm and erudition on the subjects, is set to speak to the people of Atlanta tomorrow (Tuesday). Since Ricochet has a noble tradition of supporting young up and coming talent (Hi Fred!), a few of us hope to redundantly fatten […]

4/5 of the way there. Thanks to all of you who have contributed so generously to our fund to get Titus here this summer. Here’s the link to the site. Once we get to $5,000 we will purchase a flight ticket for Titus that has an open return date. He will choose a start date […]
