It wuz Fathers Day 'n I wuz punchin' paper 'n whackin' surly bartenders when Miz Bear come out with the celluarized phone. It wuz Lance tryin' ta raize a work crew fer a trip ta the Big Ditch ta put out hoop nets.
It haz been quite a while since I done that. Today I feel near bout 113 years old. I got tar on me that wont wash off, but we got 12 nets fishin'. The nets aint new, but they wuz newly tarred. That iz how I come ta have tar on me. Dicky went along, but I done all the net settin'.
My balance aint near bout good az it wuz. I near bout fell off in the river 6 'er 5 times. I got my foot tangled up in rope twice. It wuz a bass fishin' contest yesterday so the river wuz plum fulla high dollar speedy boats, plus a few Bayliners 'n such with purty gals roastin'. Sad ta see so many folks. Only saw two commercial fishin' fellas.
Lance done a lotta singin'. I kept thinkin' bout that country song where the fella shot the juke box. Dicky iz deaf, so it didnt bother him much....less he wuz readin' Lance's lips.
Lance sez I gotta head out Wednesday afternoon ta see if we done any good. I dont know if I aim ta go. Ever empty net will be my fault. Ever net fulla fish will be cuz he picked the rite spot.
I tole him that ole folks oughta fish with a cane pole frum the bank....in the shade....sippin' on cold beer 'n enjoyin' a cool breeze. Either that 'er fishin' fer sardines down ta the grocery.

The man who prefers his country before any other duty shows the same spirit as the man who surrenders every right to the state. They both deny that right is superior to authority.
