We be twins????!!!?

Went down to J&M this morning and bought me a Tilley Hat. Now y'all won't be able to tell me from Pier#r, except maybe he'll be the one catching all the fish, and, maybe he's younger than me, and he might be a little bit better looking than me---except for a couple of minor details like that, you might not can tell us apart.

Just to start breaking it in, I wore it all the way to hunting camp and it did a fine job---stayed right there on top of my head all the way. After this cold snap, I might take it down to the pond and teach it about bass fishing before I show it what the real thing is about---if the sheeps ever show up, that is. I think the sheepshead showed up at the pier last year when it was so cold because all the cussing and vituperation aimed at them warmed the water slightly. Maybe they were hoping the pier would spontaneously combust and give them some relief. If they haven't started showing up in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna write a real strong letter to somebody about the situation---maybe the Small Animal Bureau or the Marine Control Division.

Hey, I have a Tilley, too. It would be sad, too sad, for me to be confused you legends. I would not know how to act.

Read the Tilly story about the elephant trainer that had his hat eaten then crapped out time after time by an elephant that loved his hat. Good testimony for their product.

By doggies, next time I go elephant hunting, I'll know what to use for bait.

Wait a minute---I don't have to have it on my head when the elephant eats it, do I? Can't I just hang it on a bush outside the shooting house?

I had a bad dream last night; I was being attacked by

And Jonah thought he had it bad in that whale's belly. Imagine what Haywire would smell like coming out of an elephant.

Hey, people pay top dollar for coffee beans that elephants poop out. Maybe he can hunt the right ones and come out with a fortune.

The more I think about it, the more advantages I can see in an elephant-treated hat---just think of all the space I could have at the rail. I could grow geraniums in the hatband, or something more interesting if I were that kind of person.

My, but a fine, well articulated post can go down hill In a hurry!

Speaking of twins, proud granddaddy to be in May. A boy and a girl. Have to buy one of those little pink fishing poles I guess!

Oh, boy---double trouble. Wait'll they hit the "terrible twos" together. Better hang onto your armor for a while longer.

Seriously, congratulations to you and the parents.

I have twin grand daughters that are now freshmen in college. They have lived with me since their Mother died when they were age 8. Lot's of joy and incentive to take care of myself so I could be here for them. The wife and I are enjoying being kid free now.
