Funny the things we think about in the stand. As I was looking up at all the beautiful stars in the sky this morning, an airplane light heading north caught my attention. I thought about all the people who must have gotten up early to board that flight and I wondered if they were looking down out from their window seat while I was looking up! Life is a beautiful place if you just stop and realize it.

Every hunting season brings about new lessons and experiences.   It’s hands-on learning that can’t be taught from reading about it or being told.  I’ve gained my best knowledge from the school of hard knocks…called MISTAKES or better yet SCREW UPS.

I know I shouldn’t have but I did.  I turned on the news, like I said I wouldn’t, and am  taken aback from the chaos and turmoil.  I am watching as Snoop Dogg, or however you spell it, has made a video where he is pretending to point a gun at a clown that is supposed to represent President Trump.  If that’s not enough Lil’ Bow Wow has went on a Twitter Tirade about “pimping out” the First Lady.  And if THAT’S NOT ENOUGH we’ve had Madonna threaten to blow up the White House and just this past week
