I'm Back

Well it was a great weekend. Our new Granddaughter is extra special. It was great to visit with Her Mom and Dad. The birthday celebration was a good time, and Camp Bubba well it's Camp Bubba. The birthday girl has a new hobby, raising mice as lizard food. Her boyfriend has a couple of lizards which are getting large and require a more substantial diet, yep mice. She is qualified for this. As a child she had two " same sex " gerbils. Next thing i knew i had 32 of the little bastards loose in the attic. It's good she has her own place. Personally , i hope they all get out, the great escape would be poetic justice. In the news i see our commanding General in Afghanistan, Gen. McChrystal, is being called on the carpet for speaking the truth. What a shame.He said Joe Biden is a dope and that our ambassador is covering his ass. I agree with both statements. Why is it that the boss wants to hear your opinion and then cant handle it. Seems to happen all too often. If Pres. Obama fires the Gen. it will be the second Afgan commander He's let go in just over a year. Nothin like consistency. While at Camp Bubba this weekend i was reading some articles about the wolf controversy; whether or not the population should be controlled viva a limited hunting season. As you can imagine there are quite varying opinions on the subject. It reminded me of a story i heard years ago while hunting in Wyo.. It was reported to me as a true story. Anyway the ranchers in Wyo. were having a problem with wolves raiding and feeding on their sheep. A meeting was held to determine the best course of action and was attended by some specialists from Washington, including a young lady who was suppose to have the answers. After a lenghty discussion outlying the problem the young lady addressed the crowd of ranchers and described in detail her thoughts on the problem and the resolution. Her answer was to identify the wolves dens and then go back in the spring and remove the newborn wolves and neuter then. When she finished speaking it was quite in the room until a weathered old rancher stood and said " Ma'm you don't understand the problem. the wolves are eating the sheep not screw'in em ". The government just never quite understands the problem.
