Squirrels are such cute and fuzzy l'il creatures. Yes, they do steal the bird seed you put out for the finches. But that's nature. Sometimes, if you're lucky and patient, you can train a squirrel to even eat out of your hand. But you better make sure it isn't starving!
I have a friend, have not seen him for a while, though. A hippie he is. I don't think there is any other way to decribe the guy. He was a hippie back then and still is today. He is also a damn good photographer. His photos of the Houston Astros games were amazing. He attended the Art Car Parade in Houston, Texas every year and shot film there. Those photos were always worthy of a frame.
We called him the Mayor, because that's what he told us his name was.
I'm still stuffed fuller than that noble turkey was on Thursday. Have a case of some kinda flu right now, not doing much, just laying around listening to music.
Here's one I like from Townes Van Zandt:
Mark May with 'Telephone Road':
Well, I like Mark's music...listen: Check this one out at 3:02....
For some reason..... I was reading an old post by Dr Walle about dewberries and blackberries and why they're named differently when in fact, they are almost the same.
I once new a very cool gal. We got along just fine, had fun. We were lovers for a while at a time when both of us needed someone that would just be there for us.
We were together in the biblical sense one time and really groovin' it. When she says, 'You know, that really feels good, but I don't feel so well. I think I need something. Do you have a candy bar, a Hershey's, or a coke?" I reply no, but that I could get her one. "What's going on?" "My blood sugar is plummeting!", she said.
There was a time in the early '60's, a time of no concern. I was a youngun', only knew what I was told. And I was expected to do what I was told. There was no way out of that. A report card from the 2nd grade was taken home to be signed by my mom and dad and returned to Miss Elliot's class. Instead, the card was returned to Mr. Cooper, the principal, by my dad with me in tow. Seems I had flunked conduct on that report card. Dad insisted on setting things right.
