Gimme a Break! Don’t Give me a Break
Gimme a Break! Don’t give me a break. How do you learn to be good at something? Is it by being given advantages based on your present inability to execute the task at the same level as more experienced people? I’m constantly perplexed by people’s immediate desire to give unfair advantages to those […]
Thanks, Jake
For weeks, I’ve known that murder was on the horizon. My father had purchased a turkey tag and he was going to use it. Toms, jakes, and hens have been frequenting the yard all spring. They hardly stood a chance against a man in his pajamas with a mask and a gun. Jake’s […]
The Red Sleep Drive
The Red Sleep Drive of the National Bison Range opened May 11th, the Saturday before Mother’s Day. As a rule, we visit the range in May and this year was no exception. After spending approximately an hour at the Ninepipes Museum in Pablo, where we learned about the history of the area, we arrived at […]
Anna Jarvis, the Founder of Mother’s Day Would be Disgusted!
A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world. And candy! You take a box to Mother—and then eat most of it yourself. A pretty sentiment. —Anna Jarvis source: The Free Dictionary I like to […]

What is a Hero?
What is a hero? Is it a professional athlete that comes out and says he’s gay? Is it a football player that helps a kid realize a wish? What about the firefighter that rescues a toddler from a burning building? Is he or she a hero, or was that person simply doing their job? Are […]
Mewing and Shouting in the Woods
Prior to moving into the forest, I wasn’t an incredibly outspoken guy. I’m not the type who’ll go march in the streets in a fight for cats’ rights. For that matter, neither was I very interested in one-on-one communication with others. A lot of things have changed since the move, though. I’ve become friendlier, […]
The Turkey Trot or Wild Turkey Mating Dance is Amazing!
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness can take on many forms and one of them is watching wildlife and learning about the turkey trot. Toms and hens have been having a wild turkey parade on our lawn; the gobblers having harems of 20 or more females! It’s mating season and the males […]
