my raven friend spending quality time with a peanut
there were a pair of ravens that frequented the small tree near southeast camp at sidewinder road but now this one shows up alone...it makes sounds i have never heard before but comes much closer than the pair used to...either this is not one of that pair...or the other is sitting on a nest with eggs now...or i fear that the other of the pair has been shot dead by one of the malicious desert dwellers near me who see the ravens and consider them vermin...anyhow this one is a good animal and i like to see them all...all day there is the noise of high flying military jets and helicopters overhead and in the distance the boom of artillery shells going off...i guess it is artillery...the army proving ground is several miles north and they prove or test whatever the military is going to purchase before they buy it ...sounds like a good idea to me...i watched a movie a while back that in my opinion is one of the best performances by Humphrey Bogart in his film career...it is not as well known as his other big films but is quite riveting...it is called "In a Lonely Place" and is about a guy who is on the edge of sanity after he returns from being a combatant in world war two...this is before the term PTSD was in use but this is obviously what his problem is...a great performance of a man on the edge...and over the edge...i bought 3 pounds of crawfish last week and boiled them up and enjoyed one of the favorite foods from the swamps and rice fields of louisiana...them i had hot sausage po-boys later in the week...and ate several too many chocolate covered cherries...must be the spring air that got to me....i would like to recommend a song that i heard from a texas fellow entitled "Choctaw Bingo" by ray wylie hubbard...the version from the album is the one i have heard....killer lyrics...he is still around and just released another song which i heard on the radio...they smell like goat cooked in a hole filled with mesquite coals...very texas...
