Alas, I do the business side of the trapping; my brother does the actual work and he has the "Call of the Wild" in him more than me. I'm a technophile, although I'm outdoors on this back screen porch as many hours of the day as I can get away with. I love being out here. Indoors is stifling. But adventures of the mind and and a willingness to handle "circumstance" in life as best I can provides me with plenty of unexpected - more than I'd like at times, and I fight with words and grit when I must but only when I must. I adore the love that you express regarding you, your friends and your adventures together. The blanket! Tattler! it protected your body but revealed your plan.
