doug rr,

please use this thread to tell us all about your days in the PNW. tell us about the foilage and the people you encounter.

this is your sounding board. your creed bratton internet blog.

this reminded me of something from the other day..

I went to a local place to pick up breakfast sandwiches..as I was sitting and waiting there and drinking my root beer there was a group of 4 guys in their 60s or 70s sitting nearby having their breakfast..all dressed in flannel and hats..anyway, one guy said he read something on the internet the other day that the federal government is trying to pass a bill that allows people to only have 2 beers per week and also said he thought Canada would do the same thing..

would you keep the bill flat or form it?

[wease]

while i will likely never own a pair, i get wanting them for comfort.

They used to have a model of slip-on that was the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. I’d give almost anything to have bought 5-6 pairs of them back when they had them.

Flat bill = mouth breather

Guys in their 60s and 70s are freaking out about this everywhere. Didn’t realize illiteracy was so rampant among that age bracket.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

why was doug drinking rootbeer at breakfast

this place carries a locally made root beer that comes through the fountain and they use that soft pellet ice...I always order it there no matter what time of day it is...
