I watched an ant climb a blade of grass this morning. When he reached the top, his weight bent the blade down to the ground. Then twisting his thorax with insectile precision, he grabbed hold of the next blade. In this manner he traveled across the lawn, covering as much distance vertically as horizontally, which amused and delighted me. And then all at once, I had what is sometimes called an "epiphany"; a moment of heightened awareness in which everything becomes perfectly clear. Yes, hunched over that ant on my hands and knees in my front yard, I suddenly knew what I had to do.....


quit drinking before noon. It's noon here in Texas. Ya'll have a nice day!

Same thing happens to me when i go fishing in the waterway in my back yard. life seems so simple and clear. then the wife will call and i have to take off the nitrous mask, and everything seems so difficult again. fishing must be relaxing, or something.

How many pipes of grass did you say you had. Or was that Beer? Pretty damn funny.

 

Be careful; in another incarnation you might come back as the ant.

Sixpipes, I am starting to worry about you! What will you be like when you retire or something. You need a new project since there is nothing else you can possibly put on your truck.......unless it is those 20 inch Nitto,s
