In a bold attempt to escape the intense political drama that is daily life in modern America, I drove out to visit the flock. That took me to a ranch, with trees. Those of you who understand the reality of Texas' bucolic Mesquite groves will know how pleasant that is.
I shot at a pig there once, from a moving Gator, and missed.

Those are the sort of trees that you want on your land...near the bass pond.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's time to push the political drama off the set for a while. It can be overwhelming with the cable 24 hour news cycle.
That's the truth, and it only gets more frenzied.
DeleteThe X-Files is back. I watched it instead of the Iowa Caucus tally...the truth is out there. You need to get a hold of that show and see if you could get Mulder and Skully to investigate TEC.
ReplyDeleteI like the X Files a lot. I'll have a word with the show about TEC -- good call.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Reverend, that for a 5 pound bag of mesquite chunks to smoke your brisket up in Illinois, it costs $4.99? That's a buck a pound, according to my public school-learned math.
ReplyDeleteIn your neck of the woods, mesquite is laying on the sides of the road by the truck load, free for anyone to haul away.
And we pay a dollar a pound for the stuff. Shows what kind of brains we got up north, eh Reverend?
I like a bit of Mesquite on the BBQ, Fredd.
