It looks like they would draw a Koe Wetzel type of crowd.

I would check out the Kerney Family Trilogy starting with Hard Country by Michael McGarrity.

He also has numerous standalone books that take place in modern day.

Maybe not great, but a hell of a good time.

2 small onions, finely diced
1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper
3/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup chopped green onions bottoms
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon
1 quart water
2 pounds crawfish tails
1/2 cup shopped green onion tops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Combine 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup flour in a small saucepan. Stir while cooking for 3 minutes over medium-high heat; keep warm. In a 4-quart saucepan, add 1/2 cup butter, onion, bell pepper, celery, and green onion bottoms; cook over medium heat while stirring for 8 minutes. Add paprika, peppers, garlic, and chicken bouillon. Cook 2 more minutes while stirring. Add 1 quart water, and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Add reserved roux, stirring well with wire whip. Reduce heat to medium, and boil for 3 minutes.

For Vietnam War, I enjoyed The Cat from Hue

How to tell kids that it's time to put the family dog down?


My kids would probably be asking how to tell me it's time to put the dog down.

I can't imagine when that day comes. My buddy is always by my side. :wah:

I guess they would have to know what the difference is between a man and a woman. That doctor speaks like the concept is arbitrary.

If it’s trucks, they are recaps. Every tire but the front wheels. That’s why truckers should have a stick with a steel wrap to “knock” the tires to verify ever tire is inflated…..every time they stop for a break.


Not everyone uses recaps.With the flood of cheap, Asian tires entering the US, recaps aren't as desirable as they used to be.

They need to move down to an urban city in the South. That will give them the proper perspective.

Edmond Dantes in the Count of Monte Cristo

The dude was imprisoned for 14 years and eventually took his revenge on the guy who put him there and stole his lady.
quote:

My 12 year old is Scouts. She is currently at Winter Camp for 4 nights. She is taking woodsmanship, Family Life, fire starting, and fishing during this camp.

I haven't seen anything close to what you are saying in our experience.

Her experience is very similar to my experience in the 80s/90s.


This was our experience as well. And as my kids have gotten older and their friends who were into sports start coming to the camp more, I've noticed they are the ones who are soft, can't function without the phone, and lack a lot of the skills that my kids learned from scouting. This is a generalization but I've seen it more than I would have thought.
quote:

What I've noticed about Scouts since my daughter joined as a Lion last year is that it seems to be an outlet for kids on the spectrum.

Not sure if it's always been that way.

My guess is kids who don't/can't play sports or have trouble in social interactions are drawn to it - or maybe their parents push them to it.

One of the reasons we signed up my kid was just to give her variety. She's already in sports and likes camping, etc. At this age it's very sweet that they don't notice the differences too much.

I'm sure that will change at some point. But I'll say this, the cubscouts themselves and parents in our pack have zero issues with my daughter being there and love her because she's so outgoing and social and heps bring it out of some of the shy/awkward kids.


My kids weren't interested in sports and they did scouts when they were younger. It was a great experience for them. In LA, there aren't many groups doing the activities that scouts do. We were doing a lot of these activities anyway, so it was good for them to be around other kids who were interested in that. One of my kids is high functioning autistic and wasn't going to be playing travel ball or hanging with jocks. It was great for him and helped get him out of his comfort zone when he was young.

If you feel it's a good fit for your kids, I wouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks. The experience will be what you want to make it.

re: Biography on Barry Seal?

I have Barry Seal's safe sitting in my garage. My father-in-law picked it up at and estate sale back in the 80's.

I can only imagine what has been in that thing.
