In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Snipe Hunts and Worms

My dad, and uncle, took me, my brothers and cousins on a snipe hunt. It was a grand experience and taught me an important lesson: Never trust your dad, if he's drinking beer.

Anyway, the snipe hunt was grand, but the following video has it beat.




How about that moms? Doesn't that give you a sense of trust?

  1. I used to haul worms around in my pockets when I was a kid. Always baited my own hook when I went fishing. But I don't believe I would try to eat one - not even for cash. Makes me wonder what my kids did when I wasn't home. They have told me some stuff, like when they filled the rural mailbox with garden snakes and salamanders. Bet they haven't told me all!

    1. I had a lot of brothers. It's unwritten, but many of the things we did are never to be told.

  2. Hey, I was impressed they called the worms by their scientific name, Annelids.

    1. Me too; but then beer drinking dads have a tendency to say just about anything.
