Fish Ponds, Beymer Park, Lakin KS, May 3, 2010
Catfish dinner
The caretaker saw me out with my camera this morning. He had a couple pictures to show me and a story to go with them. It seems there are a couple of wily old catfish in the next pond over. Were in there when he took on the job 15 years ago. They are still there. About 5 feet long now. Wily as ever. Not tempted by anything those guys in hats throw at them.
I was honored to see them this afternoon, drifting around. Of course I didn't have my camera along. Wily old buggers.

Running With the Pack
Hardly anyone out there is going to take this seriously, but TV changes you. The kicker is that if you watch it all the time, you'll never know, which under normal circumstances ought to scare you shitless...
No amount of sermonizing will make a difference here, so I'll move on. But I'm telling you, it's true. If you disconnect from the medium long enough to stop associating certain days and times with TV shows you're used to watching, you WILL be different, with values and behavior that arise from sources you never knew existed. There is no arguing with this, you simply have to experience it.
