We have no trouble "tolerating" either kind as long as they're not too feisty! Don't know about the rest of ya', but I like a good measure of fiesty. My delicate sensibilities are easily offended. I hope y'all will keep that in mind and not bring up controversial subjects in my presence. I absolutely abhor conflict of any kind and I weep easily.

Too bad - might as well start 'yer weepin' when you cross the NM line.

Just had a long, loud storm here, with rain heavy enough to block my satellite signal for two innings of the Rockies-'Backs game (final 5>0 'Backs  ). Bodes well for our bash next month (unless somebody gets run-over by a fat elk).
"Good enough" isn't.

I've been getting small amounts of rain here, not even enough to settle the dust, but lots of thunder and lightning. followed by dense smoke coming from the silver fire, I'm assuming.

Gene - that lyin' contest may start as soon as 2 guys arrive - so better be early. I've been practicing a bit. I'm good enough to bring Gene to tears. Why, last time we went prairie dog hunting he started tearing up when I pulled up. He sobbed the whole time we hunted just from the beauty of the West Texas cow pasture. In fact, he cried so much the County Commissioners lifted the burn ban and the rancher had to disconnect the irrigation system so the fields wouldn't flood. He gave his dog a shower while petting her. I had to keep my boots on while I slept so they wouldn't float away during the night. He really is a quiet, sensitive guy who is in touch with his inner feelings. Ed

I came to this point when three of my friends told me, some time ago, that they weren't coming because three other friends of mine were planning to be among us. I'd hate to be such a stumbling block to anybody.
DAMMIT  PEOPLE SHOULD GO TO SOCIAL EVENTS EVEN IF PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE YOU ARE GONNA BE THERE I mean, what if they've been right all along? Which is why I'm gonna show up.... Prob'ly gonna bring wife and dog on account of ever'body likes them better'n me anyhoo.... Prolly can't leave here before late Thursday, expect to roll in noonish Friday. Gonna bring.... .62 cal. smoothbore flinter .50 cal. "poorboy" Southern-style flinter longrifle. .22/20 gauge "Camper's Companion Savage Mod. 24 (never leave home without it). A couple of handguns, not sure which. I got a ,30-30 Marlin straight-stocked 336 wearing a Burris Scout Scope I could bring. Ditto on a .357 Marlin 1894 w/Williams peep. Only need a patch of ground upon which to sleep and a shower. This can be in a campground. I'll post a sign up sheet fer the 5:30am birding tours. Birdwatcher
