My dad is coming up next Tuesday to help push me through on the kitchen. Thanks, Diane!
I fished in the cold waters in Galveston Bay yesterday.
There are these barge-like-mad-max-meets-plywood boats that go in and out of Moses Lake to the bay. Yesterday, after two passed, I began paddling on my knees to cross. While directly in the middle of the pass, another came barreling through the gate. I have this weird fear of being crushed by a boat, going under, holding my breath and finally getting caught in the propellers. I dropped on my surf board, backpack on, and paddled in a panic.
On the oystershell beach, I hunched over and caught my breath. I was now mad that I had soaked myself. I then reminded myself that I was alive and not sausaged by propellers. No matter. Lots of mushrooms in the cow patties. I went to the island, which was not an island, as it was low tide. Saw the tv again. Fished again. Got dark. With head lamp on, I paddled back across. Got in a semi-panic... it's just kinda spookie when you don't know what the current is doing - in the dark and cold.
In the car. I turned it to "Legends Of Country" - 97.1. Charlie Pride sang "No one knows what goes on behind closed doors..." I drove extra careful - as I'm on probation for the last ticket. People flew by me.
I got home and was, as I told Kim, in the "blue zone". I had been up since 3:00am - worked 11 hours by, what? Whenever.
TV on Oystershells. No fish, if there were any. No one know what goes on behind closed doors. Dang, trout.
In order for your mother to not be in a panic, please promise the world that you will NOT be in the water in the dark again!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's safer in the dark. The boats quit running then.
