Oh, I forgot to mention that The Revellers is available free of charge via Kindle, or from the Gutenberg Project.

Forget about Texas— Don’t Mess With Georgia! We’re the biggest state east of the Mississippi, and most of that is rural where people, hunt, fish, and strangle bobcats.

“Real Southern women are tough as nails.”


So are most Northern women-—they just don’t talk about it as much.

I recall a story about a woman who died many years after contracting rabies through her eyes. It wasn’t known that the virus was percolating around in her system all that time. Very creepy disease.

I wish this woman had a gun.

I wish everyone did. That was supposed to happen but somewhere along the way some people felt that they didn’t deserve one - didn’t deserve to live and didn’t deserve to defend themselves.

And that’s sad. This woman is a tough cookie but I wish she had a gun.

I had to undergo the shots series. One will be just fine, so long as the shots are started before any symptoms, 30 days

She’s from Georgia. I’m pretty sure the only reason she didn’t have a gun is because she chose not to be carrying one.

Only in the South

Have you ever been to Michigan's Upper Peninsula? I'm guessing the answer is no.

Wildcats are very effective killers. She is lucky that its abilities were probably impaired by its illness.

They usually avoid people. But Rabies does nasty things to the brain.

Yankee’s take notice.

My question is what is this doing in the liberal Washington Post? It is more like something you would see on Fox news. But WAPO provides it since a gun was not used, and it was a women, and the cat had rabies, therefore it passes the politically correct test, in which guns are not needed, and all animals are peaceful unless enraged by conservatives, and men are to be marginalized if possible. But if she or esp. a white male killed an attacking bobcat (isn't that name sexist?) with a gun, and it did not have rabies, then the story would likely not have gotten past the PO censors.

She must have had a high resistance to the disease.

The virus would wait until she weak enough for it to multiply.

That’s what I figured when I heard the story.

I don’t recall ever having chicken pox; when I talked to my doc about the shingles vaccine he said I probably did have chicken pox but didn’t have symptoms.

We’re probably all infected by many things that our systems overcome.
