What do you think Paul?

 Had the pleasure of sharing a cup of coffee with the gentleman who sold us our home in Missoula . He will be 92 in May. A very rare and interesting man to be sure. For example ,He wrote a Book on How to Live in Mexico on 5 dollars a day. He married a woman 34 years younger than he, this dude has it going on. Love to run things by him such as the latest tragedy in Conn, his take is we need more commen sense in everything. He joined the NRA in 1956 , felt that it was a great organization until 15 years ago when it "was taken over " by radicals. This from a man who lived off wildgame when we met, he and his wife would go to the Musselshell river valley and harvest 7 to 10 whitetail does every year. The ranchers would welcome them back because of an over population  problem. Before deer season they would also kill as many antelope as they could draw permits.He was bummed because 10 days before deer season this year he had a fall and ended up in the Hospital for 5 days . So my point is he knows there is a place for guns in our society. He correlated the need for common sense in Gun control , with the same needed in introducing and managing Wolves, and Bears and God knows what else in to society. He then went on to tell me a story of when his Dad and his brother would go down to the Guadalupe River  in Texas after the harvest was in, and fish for big Catfish. Their methods were quite effective, first put Lime in the bottom of a purex jug , the cork the top. Take an ice pick , put small hole in Cork. Tie rope to jug and rock on end of said rope, throw in deeper hole in river. Wait as jug slowly fills with water till thru the magic of Chemistry, BOOM . As JImmy Walker says DYNOMITE!  Catfish by the bucketful. Hope to visit more this winter with him, more stories to come .
