My father, before he passed on, reminded me about the policitcal leaders: "You MUST talk to them, get involved in the issues."
Well, leaves have fallen, and water run under the bridge as time has passed and some interesting things are happening.
We have a small committee, one person paid I think, to improve our community's business area. The leader of this group is now hounding me to put on a demonstration with the mortars! One of the last questions was to the effect that if I fired it in the local ball park could it be kept inside the ball field. I would have no problem doing that by shooting high-angle (about 75 degrees or so elevation) but they may not like it when the 7.5 lbs of concrete burries itself out there in left field.
What are your ideas for community involvement?
This is the time to show off and have fun (positively and safely) with the community.
