Elmer and Bugs

Good Evenin'

Well, another gorgeous fall day. Hauled water for the bunch and filled up the stock tank in the middle, keep the "deer and the antelope playin'". Lined up a little more fencin' supplies and confirmed another load a hay; actually half for us and half for a neighbor. Also, got a couple more "promo" copies movin' on the bookside.

Other than that, the day was filled with birthday greetings and hunters; the greetings purdy fun, hunters not so much. One of the neighbors, nearby, just can't accept the fact that the county give up a road, runs right through the place I mind and keeps sendin' hunters over ta complain.
A) I don't own the place, B) the owner wants it locked and C) just two miles up the road, there's another road, right into the BLM, which is where our road used ta go. I just have a hard time feelin' sorry for these fellas, got all the time and money, take a vacation, buy an elk tag, drive 100 miles, but find it intolerable, drive two more, just 'cause they might, actually have ta get out and walk a little, if they take the other.

Anyway, I try ta be nice and explain, best I can, but I, sure don't enjoy huntin' season; all the critters, work so hard just ta make it, rest a the year, than here come the hunters, who don't even care about the meat, blow them away, make everybody's life miserable, all, so "they" can "enjoy themselves". It's just kinda weird, seems ta me. What if everybody from the country started goin' ta the city with guns and climbin' in an out a peoples back yards; they'd throw us in jail.

Anyway, only three months outta the year; an exercise in tolerance and patience, I suppose. And, like politicians, sure gives us somethin' to laugh about, which always seems ta be the best antidote.

Sides, I'm likely just "tarred".

Have a great night.

Best,
jeune
