    SFR Sears, Roebuck and Co

    When I worked in Bremerton back in the 70's I stopped by the B&I on occasion. One time a couple nuns were squiring a group of grade school kids on an Ivan visit. Ivan evidently was "excited" by all the attention & became somewhat distastefully "animated." The nuns were shocked & frantically...

    Craftsman tools were prized possessions that lasted back in the day. My fav mail order wish book was Herters. I still have a couple knives, some hooks, a tying vise & some reloading stuff (plus 1 old catalog). I wish I would have hung on to my LH Herters Sitka Magnum recurve bow; it was a beauty!

    Whatzit ?

    If it was a bit smaller, I say a Cicada burrow/hole. They generally make a very tidy hole with no dirt pile.

    Disrespectful attitudes towards wildlife.

    Yup. The ones that float around on their back laughing at you while you're switching flies and wondering why the bass aren't hitting . . . 'Course my hat was off so they might have thought I was Mumbles . . .

    Backyard Wildlife

    The first time my Son's Jack caught a mouse and he witnessed the characteristic "beating rodent senseless against the ground" procedure, he called me at work with this report: "Sadie caught a mouse. Holy shit Dad, she's brutal." 200# attitude in a 9# body.. My Lab even deferred to her.

    Cant fix stupid!

    I'm glad no one else was hurt. The idiot earned his prize. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

    That's part of the reason I cherished it so. Not all that many years ago, I rarely saw others in there. The Bass version of "Curtis Creek" . . .

    Got any bird pics?

    My Daughter's African Gray was a superb mimic. Whistled for the dog when I opened the door, said "hello" in my Daughter's voice when the phone rang & imitated the microwave "beep" so well that I got up and checked it several times. It knew over 75 words & phrases & his sense of timing could be...
