That last one is downright nasty mate. We have something similar over here but I have no idea what it's called.

Personally I like cholla cactus the best. There's some funny videos of people getting a quick lesson.Hair combs work best

I’ve seen videos of that nasty nasty beastie...I’m sure it has a mind of its own and is able to target people. I have no desire to even “meet up” with the stuff.

Tourists love the stuff, can't get enough of it. My grandma backed into it one time, it's both funny and painful. The spikes have an outside sort of sheath that is like very very thin and crispy with barbs so you can't pull it out without some meat coming with it. When ever I went for a hike or a hunt in the dessert I tried to avoid areas that had cholla cactus altogether. If it was growing there I just wouldn't go in, pass up that area, move on to better places where it's not growing.

In open grazing areas you see cattle with chollas stuck all over them and imagine if you brought your doggie along to run free. There's actually a bird that nests in them and there's desert rats that make hidey holes under piles of cholla pods. What a great protection. We used to collect fruit from cactus but not chollas, too freakin nasty to bother with.

It’s getting very quiet again in here. Is it hunting season? Are Nuts relaxing excessively? I might just have to start singing again…see if I can sing them back.

“Oh give me a home, where the buffalo rooaammm” (brings to mind Pawhuska in Oklahoma)
Anndd the girls wear nuffin but skin”

The sound of Silence

Don't you wish!

It's my first one to day

‘Morning gentlemen…seems my singing raised two of you. How goes everything?

OK, you're getting my interest...

It's the rut around here so the focus is outdoors with too many tasks to do.

What is the second verse, Vince?

I thought the voices in my head ... nevermind...

Second verse…well now young Slim, that’s entirely up to you mate.

Good luck with your hunt mate.

I have been having homicidal tendencies so I have been in my deer stand seeking therapy. It's been a pretty quiet year for us so far. Only one day of rifle season left.
