Don't go swimming there, do you?

No, its too grown up and there are too many moccasins in the water and area. People do go fishing - catfish, crappie, shell cracker, etc.

Really tranquil, isn't it?

He didn't really care, guess he had a pension.

Although my father in law left CBS as a teck guy in the early 60's because it was too unstable. Plus he had a family and a house and there was an Olympics that they were going to send him to for a year to set up.

I didn't know 5 years was too much experience.

Actually I was one of the newer guys. It's not a company that gets rid of the long-timers unless there's no choice. Behind me was a part-timer (who they'd obviously keep for utility) and a newer full-timer who was probably cheaper than me. I think everyone else had been there at least 10 years, with the longest pushing 40 years of service (the company counts his Navy time).

Makes me want to just hang out, put my feet up, forget about everything for a bit.

Actually long as you don't bother them they don't bother you, unless its mating season and they are being territorial.

It is beautiful and quiet most of the time. You all are welcome n my porch anytime.

Afternoon.

G'night, beautiful wunderkind.

Hello. Nothing new to report here.

Had a cousin and her hubby over for supper. A man who knew dad liked Mullet smoke a lot and gave use a whole tray of it. However, it was too well done and dad had trouble eating it. So invited cousin over to share the wealth.

She showed me how to eat it. You need to peel the skin off totally and then pick the meat off the remaining bones. Who knew? Dad has forgotten how to eat smoked Mullet, among other things.

I still am not wild about either Mullet or most fish. Too many bones to pick!

Mornin', kinderschnitzels!

Believe me so did I when I went back and looked at the pics from then. Honestly I would have sworn on my mother's grave I didn't have one.

The human mind is reluctant to remember ugly episodes in our lives.

Mornin', folks.

I am not sure what that means and am not sure I want to know either.

Mornin', I reckon.

Me; in a nutshell -

Beautiful loser,

When you realize, you just can't have it all . . .
