Hobo Jungle

[2railjon]

Thanks for the concern, fellow hobo's! The county to the north of us caught the brunt of the severe weather. It pays to always be vigilante and take nothing for granted concerning fast moving fronts. The wife said the weather radio went off 3 times last night and I never heard it!(insert vigilance here) The only thing that woke me was the dog's foul fart. Never, ever feed a 60 pound dog that sleeps in bed with you a half quart of left over chili. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Jim, I love the shot of the goose!! Might I suggest dropping a trail of corn from your back door into your oven!!!!!

Glad things are ok your way, Jon.

The wife only knows how to make chili two ways; hot, and thermonuclear. I think she uses to much garlic, onions, and kidney beans, but let me tell ya', never give the leftovers to a 200 pound Great Dane. I'd rather stick my head in the septic tank!

I've often wondered about aggressive geese. Why can't you just crack one across the face or wring its little neck? Maybe they get away w/ such an attitude because they are so beautiful we just can't bring ourselves to fighting back, fearful of what other folks might say, seeing us smackin' 'em around a little bit. Eh?
Just a thought.

And Jim, the look on that goose's face is priceless. I see insistance and almost outrage that he isn't in the warm house. He isn't simply there. He seems to have a "purpose" in his tiny pea-sized "mind," or maybe I'm iust too imaginative.

I am pro animals and donate money every month...so I can't....is the reason why I preferred to run.

Makes perfect sense , and I admire you for your conviction. I'm pro-animals too, of course; that's why I eat so many...no....no..seriously folks. (My first posting on this forum was a response to a heads-up about the abuse of dolphins by the Japanese, which got me so outraged I was nearly beside myself.) I do love at least all the birds and mammallian life forms and at least respect the others.

Yet, when I go out for long walks, often in unfamiliar neighborhoods, in various states, I expect animals to keep their place. They mind their business, and I mind mine. That is why I go covertly armed, ready for battle. You never know when some mentally ill dog, for example, will leave its acknowledged boundaries/territory and cross into public territory. You can't always face such challenges with just your convictions, good intentions, and you dick in your hand. Bad stuff happens all the time. Bikers get attacked by mt. lions; tenants get attccked in their own hallways by all sorts of dogs; joggers get ripped to death by unattended beasties. Philosophy and reason only go so far, my friend, IMO.

Boy did that give me a hell of a chuckle and bring back a very funny memory. Some years back the wife and I took our regular ski trip, Tahoe for a change. Trying to be a bit of a romantic I hired a horse and sleigh for a nice evening ride thru the meadows, bought a nice bottle of wine and the stage was set. Unfortunately the evening died when about half way thru the ride that damn horse started farting that I swear would have peeled the paint off the side of a battleship. Oh well, at least the skiing was good.

Roger, It was on the "Rants & Raves" part of this forum (July 20, 2008: "Please Take a Moment ((not for all audience)) posted by AG.), and as I said, goes back to when I first discovered the many charms of this hot li'l venue.

"Seinfeld" had a similar episode depicted, in which Kramer had fed a horse (Rusty?) a large can of beans, and paid for that numb-headedness with an abbreviated carriage-ride thru Central Park. (So, I guess, considering your experience, art does imitate life!)
