SoDak Winter Weather

[Bruce Day]

A few of us went on our yearly trip to central SoDak back to the farm. All wild birds and can be tough hunting. Cold , but we postponed travel until the temps warmed slightly then went, and it was cold and blustery when we left.

There was Wayne Schweigert, Charlie Herzog, Pete Kappes, Dave Weber, Tom Wooden and me.

We had a tragic experience with one of our group getting hit by an errant shotgun pellet. He hit our esteemed turnip farmer, and while it is not possible to get blood from a turnip, it is from a turnip farmer. He reported the pain was excruciating and he was able to get enough blood out to create a good photo for the personal injury lawyer that was consulted. He also called Rev. Al Sharpton, his pastor just in case he needed last rites.

Sue made wonderful pie as usual and that helped some, but our turnip farmer was unable to drive on the way home and needed help carrying his bags.
