Tenderfoot No More

Hi Alphabitch and escribacat. I remember when escribacat was nice enough to explain to me what an escibacat was on HP one night. I hope you got to do some camping eventually. It is wonderful. Well, up to a certain age..although some of my aunts were sleeping on the ground in tents at a family reunion once. They were in their 70’s at the time.

Great story. I guess you could not break formation to retrieve it. Those cold football games and outdoor bleachers for Pep and Marching band were a bit much.

I can relate to Band stories BassFace! I was in the illiterate percussion section.

I could have had top honors if there would have been a badge for Masturbation.

Hah! Chuck Conners in “Branded”? I think I recall some of the lyrics – “What do you do when you’re branded…and you know your a man, you’re a man…”

Sounds like our troop deep in the Cascades of Washington state. Our scout master once lined up two or three of the hoodlums in our troop at the American Legion Hall where we met and stripped off their badges. I think he probably must have watched too many war movies.

On one trip we neatly stacked long dry pine needles around our campfire pit. They make nice comfy mattresses for your sleeping bags until they catch fire which only took about two minutes.

Those pine needles also make for a fine cigarette when you roll them up with brown bag paper.

Or, leaving a can of baked beans in the campfire, well it was better than a box of 12 gauge shotgun shells. First one to run is a chicken!

Those exploding bean cans left a nice pattern on my friends tent.

The Crisis of Reality part II

“Courage propels us in spite of our inconsequence.”

Great article Cher. I sometimes think we are the only species aware of our own mortality and driven mad by that thought. It would explain some behaviours at least.

Worth sharing….”The Disease called ‘Perfection’ “

Good Morning BigDogMom. Wonderful!

Wonderful article Abby. Thanks for the link. I think I’ll just seek ‘perfection’ in my veggie garden. Ok, maybe a few weeds, just dandelions. They are nutritious. Basically off the veggie Richter scale in fact but the leaves are still a little bitter in a salad it seems. Perhaps there is an analogy here but it escapes me. Last years cabbages are still framed in my minds eye…now there was perfection.

Northern Exposure’s setting was Roslyn, WA. A little coal mining town near where I grew up.

Why either would be deleted is fkn annoying.

There needs to be a balance. For example, the Yahoo blogs are mostly unmoderated but also a complete waste of time.

Good Evening Chemynkaya! Kind of new to me too. Was listening to native American and this was suggested. This race of indigenous people are probably related to the North American native populations perhaps having migrated over the Bering Strait. Some info on wiki about the Sami.

Cool Kilgore. I was living in Loma Mar near La Honda and Pescadero and Commander Cody showed up to play at the little town hall. I missed it though! Was out of town.
