Been on the road for the last two days. Thanks for all thoughts and
messages regarding the death of my father. I knew it was soon, but was
taken a bit back from the suddenness.
At the moment, I am in the sourthern California area, and have been playing
with "illegal aliens" with flouters of the CaCa Law. My kind of people. As
soon as I arrived, Batty Patty accused me of only coming out for the chicks,
so took me out to her chicken coop. She has several cow-tipping "feral"
ferts of an obvious blood-thirsty nature, which can be told by the amount of
serious chin licking I recieved.
Tomorrow I head for LaLa CaCa, and a visit with those nuts. I'm not sure of
the exact time I will be there, but since my dad's services are next
weekend, I'll probably be gone before then.
BTW, lighten up Arkansas; I used to work at a paper in Little Rock, and
that's where I heard the joke. All in fun, right after I joke about Texas,
CaCa, and points in between. Not counting the MO jokes. Just in fun, have
a beer, and think of me chewing out the CaCa Fish and Gesapto.
BTW, what is the difference between JPL and the Fish and Gesapto? One uses
their brains to explore black holes, and the other has a black hole for a
brain. (See, I refused to joke about Uranus).
Did you know the ferrets in CaCa have longer fangs than anywhere else?
Meaner too. Big enough to tip cows with a single paw. Able to leap tall
poultry with a single bound. Look! Up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a
plane! Its a California Feral ferret!! Later, I will relate more myths and
legends.
Here's one for you CaCa residents. Ask your local Fish and Gestapo if they
have ever heard of a brindle weasel. Longtail weasels from about
Baskersfield south, and east towards Arizona have masks. You won't find the
reference in modern zoological stuff; look back to the 1900-1940s for the
references using the name and describing the pattern. A great drawing of a
masked longtail weasel is in the 1924/7 version of "A Handbook to North
American Mammals."
