An old man was sitting on his front porch watching the sun rise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm
He yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy yells back "Roll of chicken wire." Old man says "What you gonna do with that?" Boy says "Gonna catch some chickens." Old man yells "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" Boy just laughs and keeps walking. That evening at sunset the boy comes walking by and to the old man's surprise he is dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in it. Same time next morning the old man is out watching the sun rise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something kind of round in his hand. Old man yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy yells back "Roll of duck tape." Old man says "What you gonna do with that?" Boy says back "Gonna catch me some ducks." Old man yells back, "You damn fool, you can't catch ducks with duck tape!" Boy just laughs and keeps walking. That night around sunset the boy walks by coming home and to the old man's amazement he is trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duck tape with about 35 ducks caught in it. Same time next morning the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end. Old man says "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy says "It's a pussy willow." Old man says "Wait up ... I'll get my hat."

A sad and sordid story. She was captured by the English, forced to convert to Christianity, and "married" one of her captors. It was hoped that since she was the daughter of one of the leading chiefs of the local Indian tribes that it would prevent native attacks.
Her husband, a fairly loathsome fellow, packed her off to London and paraded her around as an example of a "noble savage" in order to drum up interest in more investment in the Virginia colony. She was constantly ill during her stay in England (living in a country where you have zero resistance to native diseases is not a Good Thing) and when it finally seemed like she'd get to return to Virginia she caught her final, fatal, illness and died at the ripe old age of 20.

Bubba died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best friends, Darryl and Gary.
The three men had always done everything together!!!!!
Darryl arrived first and when the mortician pulled back the sheet Darryl said, “Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over.”
The mortician rolled him over, and Darryl said, “Nope, ain’t Bubba.”
The mortician thought this was rather strange. Then he brought Gary in to identify the body.
Gary looked at the body and said, “Yup he’s pretty well burnt up. Roll him over.” The mortician rolled him over and Gary said, “No, it ain’t Bubba.”
The mortician asked, “How can you tell?”
Gary said, “Well, Bubba had two assholes.”
“What? He had two assholes?” asked the mortician.
Yup, I’ve never seen ‘em, but everyone knew he had two assholes. Every time we went to town, folks would say, “Here comes Bubba with them two assholes!”

A very warlike day in history. Not a real surprise, spring often marked the beginning of the European campaigning season. Ideally you started a war in late spring when conditions were dryer, but if you were already at war then the start of spring meant a resumption of full scale hostilities.
Different parts of the world had different campaign seasons. In Northern Asia they more or less followed the European model, but in Southern Asia you wanted to fight in winter because the start of the Monsoon season would shut down your logistics. In India you tried not to fight in the middle of summer whenever possible.

Hope this rain has helped alleviate your drought situation
Posted on 4/6/25 at 6:09 pm to Rockbrc
Thanks it helps I received 1.5 over the last 3 days. The ground is still firm after getting that much rain. Wish we had a followup rain in a couple days but the 10 day forecast looks pretty dry.

We got plenty here-livestock on the levee are all on the land side berm-nothing but water on the other side.
Feast or famine, I guess. We’ll be begging for it in July
