Yeah, I know what you mean. The weather here in south Texas is a real mess. It is mid fifties at night and mid eighties by day, but the really bad part is that it is 'partly cloudy'. You know what I mean? I can't be out searching more than seven or eight hours a day. Sigh!
Yesterday, quite insensitively, I posted the above, teasing all those who suffer through long, cold winters. I do truly apologize. This is a self-serving notice to them all. I think they read the post and held a private internet seance to curse my activities. So I went out today for seven hours in an otherwise productive area and found:
2 - Paperclips
14 - small, rusty nails
4 - staples
1 - large piece of bent, twisted iron that looks like half a boat davit (in the desert) (weighs almost half a pound)
7 - .22 casings in short, long and super bee
1 - small bolt with nut attached
1 - fishing rod tip (I am not kidding, just the little metal tip from the end)
3 - tent grommets
7 - tent stakes
1 - 7" spike (Man did that thing give a signal!) (Not R.R. - just a very large nail)
1 - small metal hair berrett
1 - hairpin (Do ladies still wear those?)
1 - small rusted wing nut
countless pull tabs and bottle caps
4 - common Memorial Lincolns
1 - 1998 nickel
two more shades in my sun tan
Ladies and gentlemen of the north. I surrender. I do most humbly and sincerely apologize.
Forgive me?
Lift the curse?
Thanking you in advance.
