Even know you probably are aware or this, I should explain that I wasn't trying to wrest the life preserver from you, and I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I was merely attempting to assist you in putting it on. I tried to tell you this at the time, but the roar of the rapids and Zumbo's screaming, ''We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!'' probably drowned--unfortunate word that--out of my voice, or mabe even caused you to think I had actually shouted something like''Give me that, you---!''


That one way to impress your boss. I prefer to be nice, mabe stay late and help with extra stuff. Do you word hard and fast. But I gess taking the only life preserver away from your boss works too.

It was almost as if with relish, as if gratifying some feral instinct of cruelty, that he now lashed his victim about head and shoulders.Soon his cane was reduced to splinters by there violence. You know, perhaps , the sting of a flexible bamboo cane when it is whole.But do you realize its murderous quality when it has been split into several long lithe blades, each with an edge that of the keenness of a knife.

green is the words of the mounth.

Man that would hurt. I think no matter how bad it hurt, I would not let him trodden on me like that. I would have assert myself. I would of took en the bamboo cane and said the saying ''I going to beat you like a red headed stepchild'' then used on him and his stewards.

I told Hal about a great shot I had made on a huge elk in Montana a few years back. Even with the Boone and Crockett system,that elk would have scored 380 points.

''Well,'' Hal said, ''you should have taken it in to an official Boone and Crockett scorer.''
''How could I do that?'' I said. ''I missed the elk. But only by an inch. So now you tell me I can't be in the Boone and Crockett because of one lousy inch! that's what I mean, Hal--you B and C guys are just too fussy.''





This vary true, this has happen to my dad many times. I think that the record would be in the 1000s though. I will a mite one thing is that Boone and Crockett scoring is off. One of my friends got a scoring guide and he on a elk scored 402. The Boone and Crockett scored 160s. There way off!

Steward. Oh, sir:you always give my most innocent words such a turn!

Robert. No: not oh sir, oh sir, but no sir, no sir. My three Barbary hens and the black are the best layers in Champagne.
And you come and tell me that there are no eggs! Who stole them? Tell me that, before I kick you out though the castle gate for a liar and a seller of my goods to the thieves. The milk was short yesterday, too: do not forget that.

Sir and mam is a thing you earn. Just like respect. There are some people (who I respect a lot) That I call sir or mam. Then there is some people that I have no respect what so ever for so call them by there name. Like with Friend you call them in a nice way, ma by a nick name, but you have to earn that.

''What are the odds,'' Quagmire said, his eyes brimming with tears. ''that you will have two flats on the same trip into the the mountains, particularly when you haven't a flat tire in twenty years!''
In my opinion, the odds are much better than you might think. Quagmire's faulty reasoning was such, however , that because he had come this far, he certainly wasn't going to stop three miles shot of Desolation Ridge. He drove on.




My dad has had that happen. I only had to WALK 12.5 miles out of the woods. But what I really hate is when you are stuck in snow with no shovel. So you use your hands. Then they get blue and fall off so you have to thaw them in the truck tell they get warm be for you put them on and use them a gain.

SHAW.

ROBERT Now listen to me, you.
STEWARD Yes, sir.
ROBERT What am I?
STEWARD What are you, sir.
ROBERT Yes: what am I? Am I Robert, squire of Baudricourt and captain of this castle of Vaucouleurs; or am I a cowboy.

Trying to be funny, I like Shaw way of writing better then Twain's. Twain is trying to set the picture in your head that Joan is a young beautiful girl on a white horse, who was wearing white armor. She was brave and a saint. Shaw makes it more realistic to me. He even said no man in her camp called her prettyTo me Shaw is a lot more interesting. Come on, there was no cowboy in those days.

Patrick's ''Uh/oh!'' and other things Guides shouldn't say.

''Remember, don't look down. They almost always go away when they get bored.''

''Boy I never heard a sound like that before. Weird!''

''This could be bad. The sun is setting in the east.''

''Look, I said I'd come back for you, and I mean it.''

''Stop complaining. When I said I had eight percent success rate, I was referring to the number of clients I get back to camp with.''

Here are my thing I do not like to hear.

''Just close your eyes, and it will go away.''

''I will be frank with you, If you do not run hard enough you will not prevail.''

''Now stop talking, and run around in disarray.''

''I will quit screaming when I feel like it.''

''Shoot it!'' ''Shoot it!''

A glorious age in Africa

Iron Ore was -and still is- plentiful in many parts of West Africa. It was easier to obtain then some of the metals used earlier, such as copper or bronze. Tools made of Iron were harder and more useful then copper, tools, farming reached new levels of productivity in West Africa.



We still use Iron in farming today. It is just a little different. Now days the farming tools manly way 10 to 50 tons. You put some gas in them, turn a key and they Moe with a 10 feet wide mower. And it does 25 miles per hour. Gets the job done a lot faster. But it is still fun to put in a garden.

That evening , as retch and I were hauling Quagmire's deer into Axle's Meat Cutters, neither of us talked much. Finally, Retch said,''I don't understand what beautiful women see in Quagmire.''

''I don't either,'' I said. ''He's handsome, rich, intelligent and charming, but otherwise, nothing.''

''Yeah,'' Retch said. ''I guess he's just lucky.''

I have a friend who is vary unlucky. He breaks things or get hurt all the time. I am not lucky but some how I counter dict him. Walking down a trail my friend Waylon would trip over a rock, hit his head and most likely knock himself cold. When I am there he would trip and land on me on a bunch of sharp rocks. One time I went to Waylon's house and he had built a 3 wheeled cart. So we went for a ride. We were riding a long when we realized we were heading for a bout a 5 foot drop. Not supper big, but would hurt in a 3 wheeled cart. I tell Waylon ''hit the brakes.'' He response ''there is none.'' So I yell ''BAIL.'' He bails on to a patch of grass with some rocks. I bail right into a patch of blackberry bush's. Some people are not lucky.
