I got to hand if it to him, he really tried. He checked the boat for dead ducks, he checked my shotgun to make sure it was plugged to three shells, checked my license, and even checked my driver's license to make sure my hunting license matched my driver's license. He said he could write me a ticket for shooting later than thirty minutes after sunset. The ducks don't start coming in until 30 minutes after sunset. Dang! There's no way to legally hunt ducks in Georgia. Darn glad I didn't accidently hit one.
The game warden kept calling me "old friend" but in a very sarcastic tone. I finally told him that he was no friend of mine.
You know you're old when your drug of choice is Geritol.
In my dealings with Game Wardens I've come to think they are given lessons in "Nastiness". I've never been cited by one but I've been checked fishing and hunting. I got checked after an evening of duck hunting once. I didn't hit a single duck. I now know where the Russians got the idea of hypervelocity cruise missiles. Ducks are FAST. Anyway that game warden was the nastiest human being I ever ran across that wasn't trying to rob me. I just thought the Drill Instructors at Parris Island were nasty. No sense in being like that.
I didn't start the "push".
And talking about loyalty, I'm loyal to God, my country, and the Marine Corps. I have no loyalty to any team that plays a game. When has a game ever changed anything in the world?. It's entertainment just like a movie. Nothing more.
That's the problem with this country. Too many people put more importance on a game rather than the sacrifices made by so many to make this country a great country. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot but show me a better country in which to live.
Not in the mood to be lectured.

Is 2020 going to be the year Football died. In MN. we have no highschool football this Fall. It will be played this Spring, hopefully. Caledonia currently has the NATION'S longest active winning streak at 68. We have won the last 5 State Championships. Many, many college football teams are not playing this Fall. The NFL is playing without fans in the stadium to begain with anyway, and the players disrespect for the flag and this Nation has Pi$$ed a lot of fans off, and they say that they are not going to watch it. What are your thoughts on this mess?

All those players (and anybody else for that matter) that feel like they're not being treated fairly are welcome to get on a plane and go to any country tgey feel will treat them better.
I once knew a biker that was very religious. If he uttered the words "John Brown", you knew he was mad.
Awww Shucks! I forgot a few of those sayings. When my Grandmother would get frustrated trying to do something she'd say "Awww Chickenfoot". She's the only person I ever heard say that.
Believe me when I tell you that I'm PROUD of every man or woman that loves this country enough to wear the uniform regardless of what insignia it has on it.
Navy seals? Would that be a group trying to work their way up to being a RECON MARINE?
OOOH RAHHH!!!
I miss the comics as well. Being a former Jarhead that was the only section of the newspaper that I ever enjoyed. Wait, what's a newspaper? I fergot!
Now if I could just figure out how to catch that many fish.
