Charlie: There is a legend up at the old homestead of a reclusive old codger that was seldom seen. Scared the kids a bit if they saw him. He was always carrying the biggest darn shotgun anyone had ever seen. Sometimes a kid might find a missed brass empty that could easily hold a big chunk of garlic sausage. Kids called him "Big Brass Billy Goat" but never to his face. One day he just disappeared. Rumor had he headed south - waaaayyyyy south. So, maybe you were there in another life and kept the hankering for the big guns.
To all the Saskatoon gents: They are a great tasting berry for sure. They aren't as plentiful now as when I was a kid. Loss of habitat hit them too. We used to go on family outings to pick them. The day was done when the '47 Pontiac trunk was full of berries. All the ladies would put up preserves and Saskatoon berry pies were a kid's dream dessert. The farm mentioned in the link is near here and they actually supply Costco. But.... they can't match grandma's jams that's for sure.
