What Are You Reading?

The Beverly Hillbillies found golf confusing.

"I imagine you roll these golf eggs along the ground near a hole and the golf comes up to grab it. That's when you hit it in the head with these sticks." (Verbatim from memory about a TV show I saw once. And you guys wonder why I'm crazy.)

 

There isn't anything by Twain I haven't read. Been to Hannibal Missouri many times. Walked the streets and actually spent a few minutes conversing with him. Oh sure not him, but looked liked him and acted like we were both in years gone by. The Cave was fun.

 

Why is it I'm in Missouri, ten feet from the Big Muddy, and you're in Illinois and we have never met?

 

Life doesn't always give you roses. We may have passed by each other and didn't know, I've been to Busch Gardens, the Aquarium & Science Museum, Six Flags, St Charles touring the local tourist traps and beverage establishments, one of the hospitals when the first grandson was born, a Air show somewhere around St. Charles, Springfield and BassPro Shop and just passing through several years.
Probably for the best. Who knows what 'Hell' could have been released if we had met up in our Prime.

 

You missed the Endangered Wolf Center? I used to be a tour guide there.

 

And the eagles are coming in to roost!

 

Do you like Cajun?

 

Hadn't heard about it until a few years ago when you mentioned it. Have been to the one in Ely Minnesota a few times though.
I do like Cajun. As long as it ain't 'Spicy'. And I talk to Eagles almost every day. Usually just saying Hi when they float overhead. Now and then they actually look down from 50 - 60 feet. Massive wingspan up close !
I just read this if that's any thing;

On Monday, the House of Representatives passed a bill amending the U.S. Code to officially designate the bald eagle (aka Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as the country's national bird.

Naw, the longest fairway hardly exceeds 450 to 475 yards. At least the ones I've played and that's if you hit it straight. Occasionally you face off against a monster 500 plus. And I doubt too many municipalities would want high powered rifles wrecking havoc within the city limits

 

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our National Bird. The possibilities are endless.

 

Yeah' Ol' Ben may have considered them 'purty but they're one of the dumbest birds in existence. Now that I think about it maybe he was on to something.

 

Gotta confess, I'm a leg man.

 

Ever seen a bunch of turkeys moving in a big circle around some dead animal? Like a scene out of a bad movie.

 

If we're confessing ; I'm a Breast, Leg, Thigh, and Rump roast man. To be totally honest Eyes or a Smile turn me into a gibberish spewing ignoramus.

I've watch the dumb gobblers wander across the yard while I stepped out the front door with my Gamo .177. 20 feet away. Uncle shot two with one shot. Dummy standing behind the one he shot must have been hiding.
