Too many books, not enough years.
Professor Goldsmith said, “Set me in a mountain cabin full of books, and I am content.”
A desert shack beneath the rocks, or a cabin by the sea, might do as well.
Favorites? Any tales that are well told. -
There are few problems of humanity that cannot be solved with
Proper placement of high explosives.
I'm not especially fond of guns. Few people will ever really need one. But when you need one, you will need it very badly, and on the instant. At that moment, there's nothing else that will quite do the job.
I do not like conflict.
If you are in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
Remember; if it comes to real fighting, there's absolutely nothing quite like winning. -
Right now, anything edible!
(But always in good company.-) -
Favorites? A small, quiet stream, a secret place that was.
Mountains, rivers, deserts of The West.

A family gathering, not my own, a Christmas long ago.
The house was small, and Full of Life.
I was an outsider in that little house.
But I remember.

where I Do Not remember
that one awful Christmas.
when I was defined;
Any-place I can forget,
even for a moment,
that awful definition. -
