Today was a National Holiday so I had the day off---we decided at the office a couple of weeks ago that we would go rabbit hunting today---so at 9:00 am we set out to find the wiley rabbit. We found hundreds of them---shot a lot of bullets (and I do mean a lot of bullets)---got a few rabbits and got accused of shooting down a large power line right next to where we were hunting. We didn't do it but it was interesting to see that the people thought we did and wouldn't let it go. We finally convinced them when we told them the time we left the town we live in---we also told them they could check the time we got gas---the power line had been down since approximately that same time.
It was a beautiful day---sunny and bright---37 degrees---winds 5-7 mph out of the southwest---snow approximately 18 inches deep. The snow made the going difficult and I have a leg that is still nearly cramping and has been since about 3:00 pm but guess that is what I get for being in such poor shape. I could tell you lots of stories about the great hunters we were but that will have to wait a few days---right now I don't feel like telling lies. Just know we had a ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even better than shooting Christmas tree decorations.
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.
