Hey Pat, deer like sunflower seeds, and apples. got a bunch of sunflowers down at the creek, plus it comes in the bird seed bags, and you can also buy sunflower seeds, which I'm sure youre aware of. I also buy soybeans, it's good protein for the deer, Tey also love apples and pecans, I draw the line at giving them pecans, I love em too. and there's pecan trees all over the county.
I do buy them apples. Krogers sells "about to go bad" fruit, apples and oranges etc. they"re abpit a dollar a bag, and if tey sont have any apples "about to go bad". then I just buy some really good apples. I keep them in the bottom of the Kelvenator till I can smell em gettin riper, then I cut em up and haul em down to the creek. I hear tell that peacocks like fruit....Guess I'm destineds to feed all the critters in the county/
I also plant "deer plots", rye and austrian winter peas, and more sunflowers. Put dog and cat food down at the creek for the foxes, coons, possums, bobcats and for any stray dog or kitty cat that's down on their luck. and the odd duck or two or three.
I had, on one occasion, the opportunity to install a phone line in Vargos, I didnt know they had peacocks till one of em SCREECHED at me. Vargos had and outer wall in the front of the restaurant, and a an opeing without a door. I parked my truck out front, got out and put my tool belt on, lots of screwdribers and the like in the pouch, and my portalble phone on the other side ote the belf. As I was wakking through the oouter door, I didnt see one of those pretty boys setting on top of the opening.
Wjem I walked through the door, that ol boy let out a SCREECH that would curl a bald mans hair. Wjen I heard what I thought was the end of the whirld, signafied by a horribble SCREECH, i whirled around ready to meet my maker or whup the SCREECER, which ever came first, and as I twirled around, all the tools in my pouch wound up all over Vargos parking lot and courtyard much to the amuscment of folks standing around watching the show..
Took me a while to replace the tools that I lost at Vargos. You dont know what youre missing till you reash for it and it's not there. One of a dozen "amimal vs phoneman" stories I could tell, but it's getting late and I'm tired, Had a long day down at MDA today/.
Head surgeron said no sing of the tumors, coming back, but there is swelling of the brain and the fatigue that Was supppse to be over by now. Plus they found two white spotts on the center of the brain, one on eash side. They sounded puzzlesd, but said it is more like the sign for a vitamin B1 defeciny which expainse the no let up on the fatigue department Toing to start on a round of steroids tomorrow, and If thangs hasnt chandes by thrisday, then they have to postpone my chemo which was suppose to start next Monday.. My pills will cost 7000 dollars a month. not toow bad .
Jackie said her chemo meds cost her 35,000 a treatment and her insurance wouldnt pay for it. I dearly miss Jackie, so very much....never heard her complain about anything, not her cancer, or anthing. Sometimes she would call me or email me and tell me how much she laughed at one of my idiot stories, She didnt say "idiot" I did/ I tried to come up with all the funny stories I lived through just to please her, would have done .anything for Jackie. What a beautiful lady she was and will all ways bee in my menory.
my typing is getting worse, so I think I'll head to bed. Little Miss is calling for me, and If I dont heed her calls, shell come sit on the keyboard so I cant type, bless her/
Keep the sun at your six, adn "ride boldy ride..."

Post script: When "BLAZING SADDELS "(WHY can I not spell saddels? man this is so frustracing) came out, everone , my coworkers and the like thought I lookes just like Gene Wilder, aka "The waco kid" I wasnt sure if that was a good thing or not, so back then folks calles me Waco, or mabe it was wacko. anyway, not to matter, I answer to most anything, Waco, wacko, I believe he was one of the 7 drawfs.
