Got wood?

[NJPiney]

I grew up in a very urban area, and experienced several incidents to make me fearful of those surroundings. I've since moved to a rural area and spend most of my play as well as work time in the woods (I've been a park naturalist for the last 25 years). Even when camping solo, I've never feel fear. I guess having something worse to compare to helps with that.

Well, that was a very nice intro, but do tell us more? You certainly have my attention (!)

Rufus,
What is your tag line quote from?

In the Desert by Stephen Crane

And the avatar moves too fast for me to see anything.

That would be one called "Program Interrupted",

Maybe woodpeckers and squirrels are the sculptors there?

Been away from home for a few days and just getting back to avoiding things my wife wants me to do by doing more important things online. My experiences haven't been anything earth-shattering. Two muggings (one with a minor knife wound) and several house break-ins. I've had 30 years of relative peace since moving away from the city. Bad people can be in the woods as well, but the victim pickins are a little slimmer. Not to mention I may or may not be packing something to defend myself if the need arose.

Ohbut that's only on special occasions, in my experience, and in the experience of millions of others, I'd imagine.

PLUS, no donkey in his right mind would attempt tap dancing in the woods. I think your comment was clearly a slap to donkeys everywhere. They know bettah; at least, the ones I have kept company with have. They don't want to make jackasses of themselves.
