Grandkids? You can't be old enough for grandkids. Don't you have any armadillos to chase? That used to be fun. Maybe it still would be...I'll have to be on the lookout, although I was never really sure what to do with them once I caught them. The pursuit was fun, in a Lord of the Flies sort of way. We used to go snake hunting a lot..to catch them. Now I have really gotten too old to remember what the appeal was of catching snakes. "felton" wrote in message .. .

Growing up in a relatively small town in the middle of nowhere, there used to be a lot of things done to break the boredom that would now be on the national news. Amateur bomb making, death defying pranks and the like. Times have changed, though. Come to think of it, it wasn't all that uncommon to see folks with missing fingers when I was growing up... One of the side effects of that "go outside and play" theory of child raising.

Don't miss the picture. Scout http://home.att.net/~purduejacksonville/grill.html Yowee. Looks exciting...to watch from afar Reminds me a little of the old joke. A new skydiver was making his first jump. He pulls the first ripcord...nothing happens. He tries the reserve chute...nothing happens. As he is falling towards Earth, he sees someone else on the way up. As they pass, he asks, "excuse me, you do you know anything about parachutes?" The other guy replies, "sorry, no, do you know anything about propane stoves?" Hey, I said it was an old joke. |
