Speaking of my wife, she called a few minutes ago to see if I wanted

(.38 Special) to learn on. It's a five hour class for females taught
by a female. Apparently she's
having a pretty good time. She'll probably come home with her own arsenal.

Oh well, at least I won't have to feed 'em and shovel poop!

Sounds like the Shooting at the Herring Corral will be a good 'un.

I know you're hopin', ESAD!

Here, this'll put you in a better mood:

I'm not hoping, Herring. I'm just expecting it. You seem to have a
cavalier attitude towards firearms.

Oh, and since you seem to like syrupy patriotism:

I assume you could translate that, I couldn't. But, I'm sure your ears
are much better than mine - I
couldn't escape the draft, you know.

Here, this has some words you'll agree with:

I didn't escape the draft. Like most young men back then, I wasn't drafted.
And I wasn't so dumb that I would enlist to fight the people of Vietnam or
for that corrupt regime in Saigon.

I know you were too smart to get drafted, enlist, or have anything to do with the military except
work for that general in Vietnam.

Remember telling us about that? Were you over there protesting? Jane Fonda in disguise?

I wasn't "too smart" to get drafted, Herring. I simply wasn't drafted.
Most young men my age were not drafted. You knew that, right? There was
no reason to enlist; I didn't believe the bull**** about Vietnam, and I
had no reason to want to kill the people of Vietnam.

I spent a month as a reporter and then six months later, about six
months in Vietnam, but as a civilian employee of the Department of
Defense. My job had nothing to do with killing anyone for any reason.

Protesting? I find it hard to believe you were actually supporting the war effort. But, if you were
working in Vietnam for some general, that's what you must have been doing. Your help is appreciated.

No, Salmonbreath, I wasn't protesting. My assignment was as part of a
team whose mission was to locate and arrange for safe removal and write
reports.

Your support of the Vietnam war is appreciated.



Unless it's more bull****, of course.

BTW. did you get about three inches of snow last night? I'm concerned about your pair of owls down
by the creek. You reckon they're OK?

We got a skift of snow, just enough to cover the ground this morning,
less than an inch. I just put out some critter food for the neighborhood
foxes, raccoons, possums, groundhogs, deer, squirrels, skunks and, of
course, birds. The birds and squirrels, especially, like
sunflower seed and cracked corn, which we buy from a local feed store.


I was specifically wondering about your owl pair. How are they doing?
