As most of you know by now, the Emperor Misha…um…likes guns.
(I can hear you now:  “Nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,  Spats!!!  Reeeeeeeealllllllllly??????????” (grin))
Well, the Imperator was waxing eloquent over his love of Kimbers…and I was smiling and nodding my head, eyes beginning to glaze over slightly…
(Don’t get me wrong.  I like guns, absolutely I like guns.  But I’m nowhere near the aficionado Misha is.  Plus, my real  passion leans towards the type of guns carried in, say, a 40DD…if you get my drift. (huge grin))
Anyway, I’m reading along, when this blurb catches my eye…
Well, the Empress got wind of our “thing” about Kimbers, apparently (yes, the Troubles™ are over at long last
Immediately, I sat up and took notice.  For I know, indeed have known for many a turn, about the Troubles™, and the mental/emotional state in which they left our dear friend and Emperor, and have been praying for him ever since I learned of them. (If you know of the Troubles™, then you know whereof I speak.  If you don’t, never mind – you really don’t need to.)
Needless to say, the Realm™ is dancing a happy jig today, having learned of this news.  If the Realm™ knows what’s good for it, that is.  (In other words, that’s an Order™, guys)
Thatisall™.  Now, if you’ll pardon us, we have some tears of joy to shed…
