This would have been late dusk, not quite dark yet. You wanna talk about me tearing it for home? Forget it. I don't think that I touched down, except for the high spots.
And....if you want to talk about ijits from the city.....My cousin *swears* that this is true. Having dealt with enough city people (locals called them 'summer complaints') I could believe it.
So, he's headed home from work. Buncha cars - all with NJ plates on them - are pulled over beside the road, and a whole gaggle of people are standing around pointing and taking pictures. Cousin figures "What the heck", and pulls over to see what's going on.
The folks are all excited about the moose. When my cousin asks "What moose?", they sloooowly explain - as you would talk to any obviously illiterate country backwoods redneck (/sarcasm) - the moose that's standing RIGHT THERE. In the pasture.
It was one of the local's donkeys.
Not to be outdone, my cousin asked - "So, what's the collar that he's wearing, for?"
The tourists: "The Game Wardens put those on the moose so that they can be tracked. Obviously. Haven't you ever seen a moose before?"
So, somewhere in NJ, there's a family with dozens of fantastic pictures of a donkey. But, they're sure it's a moose, and might be able to fool other city folk into thinking the same thing, so that's good enough for them. :-)
My brother had pictures of a couple of proud “hunters” he ran across.
One pair had their “strange deer” tied to to hood of their car.
My brother said later that “somebody will be missing their dog.”
Another pair of dopes he met had a goat.
Closer to me, farmer keeps losing dairy cows every hunting season.
Ijits from the city every time.
Having the bobcat “meow” at me because I was boring was freaky.
Well, more of a down note “mwowm” sound.
That she was uncomfortably close was worse.
Apparently I’d caught her attention, she’d snuck close, then gotten bored.
Glad I bored her as I hate to think of what she’d have done if I hadn’t been boring!
