Dwight raised a great many of the mountain lions, which were used to restock the Pacific North West. He raised other big cats, loads of rare livestock and rare pheasants too. He's a stout, loyal, Grizzly Adams looking, cantankerous old fart, who's not afraid to knock a crook or an idiot on their rear ends. I miss him and his lady, Cindy, who is a goat guru and vet tech.

Keith where bouts in MI? Would be glad to take him to dinner for you.

Thats life...dont dwell on it. Appreciate the ones you like while you can and dont worry about the inevitable. Its always been this way.

When you have only 10 or 15 years of life left, I turned 60 this year, you start to look at life differently. Living every day like it may be your last is best because it just may be.

Slight near topic, but IMO worth adding here.

Never ever, under any circumstances, look up any old girlfriends.

How do you know you have only 10- 15 years left? My opinion of what's important has changed. I choose my battles differently these days.

Are the ones I miss and left way too early!


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!
