Packers Fans

A little email update on our two feathered friends down there in hill country.

They’ve been in their bad weather inside duck bin for most of the past month – too cold and their kiddie pool is frozen solid.  I hear there is rumor of 50 and 60 degree weather just a few days away – they will definitely be swimming like hell when the weather breaks.  They watched and rooted for the Green Bay Packers with me at the Super Bowl, too. 



“Nothing scores higher in ‘awww’ factor than baby ducks.  If you attempt to sway my decision in this matter – I’ll be forced to kill off whatever you suggest as the alternative.”
(Cattywumpus, USA: Unpublished Chronicles of Thots Whilst Shaving)

Of course Harold and Skokie (the two ducks) are Packers fans: they have the team colors built right in!



It hasn’t been a good year so far for Miss Autumn, our champion coyote eliminator. She lost her father in law, a WWII veteran, to high speed cancer and poor hospital care in late January. The end is also part of the circle, but that doesn’t make it any easier.



But I am having a nice moment in my mind, imagining what an indoor bad weather duck bin would look like. I’m thinking either some kind of brightly painted large toy box off in one corner with a small puddle leaking out, or one of those old time artfully perforated tin storage boxes up on a closet shelf in the kitchen. Either way, faint and questionable quacks can be heard. Quack. “Hey, remember us?” Quack. “Um, it’s dark in here!” Quack. “Is the game on yet?” Not to worry though; I know for a fact that her puddle ducks are more cuddle ducks than anything. And aren’t their baby pictures just too cute for words?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
