HOQUIAM, Wash. – Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state.
The victim asked, "Why are you carrying a weasel?" Police said the attacker answered, "It's not a weasel, it's a marten," then punched him in the nose and fled.

If so, who would listen? “Folks” are sceptable.
I have learned to hate the visions as well as the precursors. Since 1968....when I was first aware...
Xactly. Go have a good sleep.
Dreamer...
I didn't say anything about love. Are you under the impression that "Cowboys and Aliens" is a love story?
You've been watching too much "Brokeback Mountain".
.
Ahem.
In any interesting story, the reader or viewer has to identify with the main character.
It works better if we don't produce training films for mass-murderers, so the default emotional connection is affection.
So I guess every story has to have love in it somewhere. Let me see if I can develop some kind of plot out of that idea.
Hmm. "Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love."
Okay, I think I'm on the right track here. Now if I can figure out what to do next ...
It has rained here.
Indeed. It has rained here also.
Nocturnal cooling may actually occur once more.
” I didn’t say anything about love. Are you under the impression that “Cowboys and Aliens” is a love story?

LOL!!
How dare you ping me to this sordid thread?
Thanks, I misplaced you ;-)

” Hmm. “Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love.”
Me ytoo!
I love chicks!!......don’t quite understand em, but I love em nonetheless!
Well, I figured, as Arlo Guthrei said, one big pile is better than two little piles.
And that you'd get it sordid out sooner or later.
I saw a cloud.
Oops. Arlo Guthrie, that is.
Woody Guthrie’s son.
Better check its other side.
You can never be too careful.
I remember Woodie....let alone Arlo. Woody Guthrie and Sonny Terry....too bad he was a socialist. He wrote great songs ;-)
and?

I had a little farm and I called that Heaven,
Prices up, the rain come down,
I hauled my crops all into town
I got the money...bought the clothes and groceries,
Fed my kids...and I was raising me a family.
But the wind quit and the rain got high
Black old dust storm filled the sky,
So I swapped my farm for a Ford machine,
I poured it full of this gas-i-lene
It started...rocking and rolling
Out of that old Dust Bowl out towards the old California...Peach Bowl
Well, it’s a way up yonder on a mountain road
Had a hot motor and a heavy load
I was going pretty fast, wasn’t even stopping
Bouncing up and down like a popcorn popping
Had a breakdown...some guy with a nervous bust-down, then another
I remember there was a mechanic feller there, alongside the road
He charged me thirteen dollars, said it was...uh, engine trouble…

Now, now. No discouraging words.
Who? Meeeeeeeeeeeee?
;-)
I had three close calls with animals on my way home.
A doe with a fawn ran across teh road in front of me around teh corner from my job.
Further down the road some IDIOT let a greyhound loose, it was in the road and I missed it by a hair.
I think the semi behind me got him.
About seven miles from my front door, a buck is standing in the highway looking lost and sniffing the pavement.
I missed him merely because he stood still and watched me swerve around him.
The semi behind me got him for certain.
Buzzards eat well in bad times.
Notice I didn’t mention any names.
Still, it was good to know I don’t have any heart issues, just adrenaline jitters.
