The saddest part of my little brother's life, is... I was the closest thing to a father he had; and he just wanted to be like me, the pistol packing, knife pulling youngster who raised him... and he never got to know the man who put all that stuff down, before he killed a man.
I've been shot once by a drunk who also shot two of my friends, and once by robbers who hunted me in Hell's Canyon, Idaho, after I jumped out of their truck with a bullet wound in my hand.
I support the 2nd Amendment on all Federal property; to keep our politicians and judges honest.
I love living far from people with 5 cats, 6 dogs, and a fishpond. 2 or 3 weeks without seeing people is peaceful to me. I lived in the wilderness for years, before a car wreck made that impossible.
I often spend my days practicing music on trumpet, harmonicas, ukuleles, bongos, guitars, spoons, and musical bones. I need another sax soon.
I have a nice collection of ancient literature (I don't like copywritten writings); but it's my animals that get me up in the morning.
I have a cat that I can wrap my arms and legs around, or use him for a pillow. I often spend extra hours in bed, listening to him purring under my head. A few others sleep around my feet.
5 of my 6 dogs are certified service animals; and I have at least one dog, and a burning joint (the only cologne I can stand) with me wherever I go.
I'm up at 4 am today, going to town for dog food; but without my animals, I'd lay in bed forever, and lose myself in books and music.
I'd like to point out that I said, Ohio's are "possibly" the oldest trees on earth.
I read that over a year ago, while studying Ohia trees.
I think they count the life of an Ohia like this... Ohio's often grow in shallow soil; and when they get big, they fall over... but that doesn't mean they die.
My yard is full of giant Ohia that got too big, and fell over; but most of the branches that become verticle when the tree falls into a horizontal position, grow into more giant 500 year old Ohias, without the 500 year old horizontal mother tree dying.
› hawaii-o... Jan 29, 2016 - The number of trees being killed by *Rapid Ohia Death* has more than doubled since 2014, increasing from 15,000 acres to 34,000 acres on the ...
I only tried to answer the question once, the other two were accidents; but, if your tree left you, it would make sense to bring it up in every thread.
The wind rustles the red and gold autumn leaves, and sends them floating through the sky like colorful stars flying across the sun's path; but trees never break wind.
