and I don't feel a day over 52.
I'm not thinking about me today, though.
Sir David of Broome, and his selfless act of humanity, is "man of the week", in my book.
David, can you figure out a way to air condition the great outdoors ? It was over 80 here in Big Lake, LA. at 6.30 am.
Today I'll be on the lookout for some nice thing I can do for someone else.
Y'all have great day.

Happy B'day
Happy Birthday, Swampster! Any day you're on the green side of the lawn is a good one. Every time I see your posts, I'm reminded of that old Jerry Reed (I think) song that went: Amos Moses was a Cajun, lived by his'self in the swamp. Hunted alligators for a livin', just knock'em in the head with a stump...etc.0 -
Bill, you are closer to
the truth than you can imagine.
There are folk who live not more than a mile from here, who survive just like you described.
Whole families who live in the marshes, and only go into town when they absolutely have to (once or twice a year). No electricity, water or phone. Just a boat, a gun and their wits.
No photo's, no one gets that close.
Honest.

Hey
I'm almost as old as you! Happy Birthday, Swampy.Retired and loving it.0 -
Hey Bill
you're closer to the truth than you can imagine.
There are folk living in the marshes not a mile from me. They only come out 1-2 times a year, and don't waste valuable bullets on alligators. They really do boink them on the head (or is that bonk or lassoo them.
No phones, electricity or fresh water. These are tough folk and nobody messes with them. Folk that time forgot, folk that don't know how old they are, and don't care. All they want is, plenty of catfish & garfish, the occasional cold beer and to be left alone.
I've met a couple, and they are a whole nother breed of people, very interesting.
Gotta go check the crab traps.

not totally unfamiliar with Louzanna
My old ship was built in Avondale Yards in New Gretna. We commissioned her in 1967. She's still going strong. I think every area has that kind of folks...here in NJ we have Pineys, but my favorite was The Adirondack Hermit, Noah John Rondeau, who lived year round in a cabin slighly larger than you daughter's playhouse on a remote lake in the wilderness. He'd come into town to buy bullets, butter, flour & sugar about 2 times a year. Some days, that lifestyle looks very attractive!0 -
Aint that the truth!!! Sometimes I think that we have got it wrong and the swampers really know what life is supposed to be.0 -
Mountain people
Sounds like my family on mothers side in W.V. can get intro to a guys sister and wife with only one woman standing there!0 -
John, that would crack me up
no end, if it weren't the truth, sometimes.
When you think about it, where do these folk find wives?
Totally unrelated, but, my ship pulled into Newcastle, Australia, we went to the local VFW, I met a local lovely, we were just about to "get to know each other" when we talked, and discovered we were full cousins.....bummer!
My uncle emmigrated there from Newcastle, England, several years before, and you know the rest of the story.
The same happened on the island of Crete. I ran into Perry (absolutely drop dead gorgeous) Wood, who happened to be my cousin of another uncle who moved to Pensylvania (coal miner) many years before.
One of these days I'll meet a prospective wife to whom I'm not already related.
Brian (destined to be single in Swampland) Wood.
Does anyone have any single sisters who's last name isn't Wood?0 -

and may your crab traps always be full!!0 -
Your words...........
