This sure is country, I thought as I looked at the machinery in the back of someone's rig in Walmart's famous country car park. Perhaps I should set up a chapel at this particular super-center and doubtless do a roaring trade.
But seriously, what's happened to all the country pursuits that LSPland is famous for; shooting, fishing, riding, armed walkabouts in the bucolic mesquite groves of Olde Texas. What's happened to all of that?
Getting a 17 year old into the hallowed halls of rural academe is what's happened, and I tell you this. It's not necessarily easy transferring a kid from the Canadian system into the Texan one, at least academically. By contrast, the football part wasn't hard at all; come on in and join the team was their motto.
Still, the High School enrollment evolution is almost over, which means the horizons of sporting life are starting to open up again, thank God. Must get back in the saddle, catch some fish and see if I still know how to shoot.
Look At All The Great Guns I've Bought!
Speaking of shooting, I'm tempted to do two things. One, buy an over and under shotgun and two, a .357 Magnum revolver. But all that's hypothetical. After Hurricane Harvey, Texas may have ceased to exist, sinking, like Atlantis, under the waves of a tumultuous sea.
Thunder is heaving across the sky as I write this fascinating entry, and that's country life.
In Texas,
LSP

We both had over-unders when we were in Alaska. Good for hunting small game.
Praying that the Lord will watch over you all. God bless.
Be safe, Parson. Our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of Texas!
Glad you're inland from the storm, but you'll probably see tons of rain. Be safe.
P.S. Who buys whole packs of erasers in 2017? Just asking...
Adrienne, to set your mind at rest, it was just a two pack of erasers. They'd cleverly run out of singles at the "super center"...
Thanks, drjim. The coast looks set to get a hammering.
I'll have to save up for the firearms, Linda!
I don't see any wine in that trolley....Are you OK?
Juliette, thank you for the concern!
There was a bot of the right stuff hiding under the forbidding mounds of school supplies.
So all's well.
If you tell the school that your son is an ensign in the Dallas Light Cavalry, they should bow and scrape to him. Where is the respect? And I think that the Colt Python would be a great .357 but there are a lot of nice options in that caliber.
He has to get through Basic, LL and's making ominous noises about something called "marines." Cav, surely...
Python's are great (thanks for the demo), I want one!
