Beau Wann, Jr.
Kay, sorry about the loss of Ms Annie. It's always tuff to say goodbye to a being that loves us unconditionally, all the time. If A&M cant save them, no one can. We've taken a few to them that they have saved and some they could not. I imagine Ms Annie and the Coop and the Rock and all the rest of our critters, have met up and are resting comfortably under a shady tree on a hill overlooking a lush valley watching for us to join them. Sure would like to see them again.
Hey Bubbas by the bay, what a cool new adventure you are embarking on. Mint julips by the pool, dancin in the moonlight on the beach, well deserved. The seafood doesnt get any fresher! Take pics and show some of them on the forum, or email them to us all. Yeah, that's the ticket, 400 plus emails.
Well, hopefully the worst of the "sickness" is over with. Sawbones Jr., said it would get worse before it got better, and it did. My stomach muscles and back muscles and side muscles are sore sore sore from all the coughing. My head is still full of crud and lungs as well. Had to use my inhaler twice last night. It's a love/hate relationship with that thing. It helps me breathe AKA stayin alive, but makes me shake like a drunk with the dts. Makes me so nervous I'm climbing the walls and walking the floors. If it wasnt so cold and damp out, I'd be running up and down the hill.
Been cooped up here in the cabin in the Chalps, going stir crazy. Thought I'd go into town for a spell, if for nothing else than to just sit on a park bench and watch the pretty girls go by. However, and aint there always a however, I was so exhausted just going to the truck and driving the 10 miles and getting out of the truck and finding a park bench, I could have just laid down on the street and fallen asleep. Why not, cant seem to sleep at home, even with the "will make you drowzy" meds. Funny, that stuff always worked when I needed to be at my best, in school, but not when I'm just setting around the funny farm.
"Oh bother"....as piglet would say. Or was it Eore? Well no matter ! It will be a quiet new years here as it was at Christmas, being sick and all. Whatever the "all" was. I've got a few fireworks leftover from sometime, since the burn ban has been lifted, and we just got 2 and 3/4 inches of rain, think I'll entertain the cows and wildlife up here in the Chalps come midnight.
Speaking of wildlife, saw a bald eagle fly over 290 between brenham and chappell hill just east of the old Starlight Drive in movie theater. Looked like he had spied lunch, an unfortunate duck. Water turkeys and or coots are their favorite food. I sure love seeing them in flight, or heck just setting around. Sure glad the US took steps to save that bird. I do believe they are off the endangered species list. Seeing that great bird sure gave my spirits a lift. Actually felt some better! that's the ticket, "Uh Mr Wann, take a bald eagle and call me in the morning", or woids to that affect.
Another animal that was almost wiped off the face of the earth, the American Bison, as you are all fully aware of. (it is not a buffalo). There is a couple up in Bryan that raises Bison. There was an article on them in some magazine. And what a coinkidink, my sister the artist is good friends with them. She's done paintings of Beverly and Donnis' bisons.
Beverly says there are a half million bison between here and Canada. Not too bad for them coming from about a couple a hundred in 1900 to now. Seeing as how there were 10s of million of them in the 1800s, it's not necessarily a great record, but at least they didnt become extinct.
Guess I'll deplane depart and decompress, so maybe we'll be seeing all yall in the gnu yeah. If not actually in person, then in spirit.
Keep the sun at your six and the son in your lives and ride boldly ride...
Your frien and resident "will make you drowzy" med, Olbeauwannkanobie esq..
Post script: HAPPY NEW YEAR YALL ! ! ! ! !
