(Yeah, I'm shamelessly copying your header pic, Eight More Miles...)
The weather station just to our west hit a record high of 94 degrees yesterday, while just to our east dust storms are shutting down interstates and causing major wrecks. Deaths in Oklahoma from skeeter-borne West Nile virus just hit an all-time high. We're still stuck in that high-achieving "exceptional drought" category. The grass is crunchy. So are the ponds. Duck season won't start until this weekend, for all the good it'll do. Quail season doesn't start until November 10th, if there are any quail left.
Meanwhile, the lucky bastards in Montana have been bird hunting since the first of September. Yeah, I think I could live there, long winters be damned. How hard could it be, right?
Do it, man. Just sayin'.

ReplyDeleteSome of the best bird hunting I have ever had near there...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Eight More Miles, has SW gone in the witness protection program?
ReplyDeleteMark, he's still around, but obviously going through a literary drought not unlike mine. I hope he gets back to the computer soon...hint, hint...
