THE STORY ABOUT THE ARMADILLOS IS A TRUE ONE. ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO THE ARMADILLOS WERE TEARING OUR LAWN UP EVERY NIGHT. I DECIDED TO SEE IF I COULD FIND THEIR HOLE. I FINALLY FOUND WHERE THEY WERE RAISING THEIR YOUNG. IT WAS IN A HOLE UNDER A BLOWN OVER HICKORY TREE. IT WAS ABOUT 8' WIDE AND MAYBE 6' DEEP. I SAT OFF FROM THE HOLE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND NONE CAME OUT. I WENT BACK TO THE SHOP AND GOT ABOUT 2 GAL OF DIESEL FUEL IN A HAND HELD SPRAYER, CARRIED A PINT OF GAS AND WENT TO THE HOLE. I SPRAYED THE DIESEL DOWN INTO THE HOLD AND I COOULD HEAR THOSE BUGGERS RUSTLING AROUND DOWN IN THE HOLD, I POURED THE GAS DOWN THE HOLE AND THREW A MATCH IN TO START THE FIRE, SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. THOSE ARMADILLOS STARTED COMING OUT OF THAT PLACE AND ALL OF THEM WERE ON FIRE, I SHOT 18 AS THEY CAME OUT. THE REST OF THEM WENT FLYING OFF OUT INTO THE WOODS AND BEFORE I KNEW IT ALL OF THE WOODS WERE ON FIRE. I RAN BACK TO THE SHOP AND GOT THE TRACTOR , WHICH HAD THE DISC ALREADY HITCHED UP, IT TOOK ME ABOUT 4 HOURS OF DISCING BEFORE I GOT THE FIRE CONTAINED. AFTER THE FIRE DIED DOWN I STARTED LOOKING FOR THE ARMADILLOS THAT CAME OUT AND STARTED THE FIRES. AT THE FINAL COUNT I HAD ROUNDED UP A TOTAL OF 56 ARMADILLOS DEAD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL COME BACK INTO THE LAWN SINCE THEN BUT WAS ABLE TO NAIL THEM WITH THE RIFLE. THE LAST 2 YEAR HAVE NOT BEEN BOTHERED WITH ANY.

PA, I would if I could, but I have some pigeon shooting to attend to later this week.

If we get close to a drive through Cairo some time in early May, a chat with Martha, a glass of lemonade and a front seat view of your humming birds, would be very pleasant.

I love short story books, And that right there would be a great short story for a short stories book.

That is some funny stuff.
