Lear and the pheasant

One summer Ruby and Ivan's dog just strolled out of the woods with a full grown pheasant in it's mouth. That dog never did much of anything as I recall so I was impressed. I think the pheasant was a hen. Years ago there were alot of pheasants in this area. Now you never see any.

Dirt balls

When I was a young teenager all the kids in the neighborhood were together one night. That may not have been a good thing. We are talking like a dozen youth. So of course this led to some bad ideas. We were walking in the farm field behind some houses and came upon the neighbor's pool. For some strange reason we decided to throw huge dirt clods into the pool. So 2 of us did it. I was one of them and Kari Keene. I still vividly remember the loud splash! We ran like crazy. I didn't give it much thought. So the next day I see the cops driving through our neighborhood. I was petrified! I hid in the basement. They never questioned me but my mom did. I confessed and ended up getting grounded but I never went to jail! I later found out their pool was completely muddied up. I felt genuine remorse over that. Even a bunch of pretty good kids can get some bad ideas once in awhile.
