“A little wrangler was born
I seen him squirming in the saddle all wet and warm
He's such a changeable form in his very first year
Rides on to wrangler school
With a slingshot and a saddlebag of hand me down tools
Doesn't want to look like a fool
Past the jail without tears
Time machines - remembered scenes
That a wrangler rides through a passing stream
Time's replaced by a peaceful dream
Wrangler space
He brings his pony to the gate of the school
Feather pens and inkwells of hand me down rules
Like trading a pony for an aging mule
He rides away without fear
Time machines - new routines
That a wrangler rides through a passing dream
And time's replaced by a peaceful stream
Space wrangler space
He gets off at a stranger's place
Where the girls dance different with familiar grace
He's knowing that he found the place
That pours the coldest beer
Skoal, very cold beer
Cheers, to your friends so near
High, to dreams so clear
Raise another glass to the dreams so near
-Widespread Panic”

“To find the universal elements enough;
To find the air and the water exhilarating;
To be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter. . .
To be thrilled by the stars at night;
To be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - - These are some of the rewards of the simple life.

“"If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last a lifetime, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength."

“I learned early that the richness of life is found in adventure.
Adventure calls on all the faculties of mind and spirit. It
develops self-reliance and independence. Life then teems with
excitement.

They - if they are among the uninitiated - may be inspired to
search out the high alpine basins and fragile flowers that flourish
there. They may come to know the exhilaration of wind blowing
through them on rocky pinnacles. They may recognize the music
of the conifers when it comes both in whispered melodies and in the
fullness of the wind instruments. They may discover the glory
of a blade of grass and find their own relationship to the universe
in the song of the willow thrush at dark. There may learn to
worship God where pointed spires of balsam fir turn a mountain
meadow into a cathedral.

Discovery is adventure. There is an eagerness, touched at times with
tenseness, as man (woman) moves ahead into the unknown. Walking
the wilderness is indeed like living. The horizon drops away, bringing
new sights, sounds and smells from the earth. When one moves through
the forests, his (her) sense of discovery is quickened. Man (woman) is
back in the environment from which he emerged to build factories,
churches and schools. He (she) is primitive again, matching his (her)wits
against the earth and sky. He (she) is free of the restraints of society
and free of its safeguards too.

From Of Men and Mountains by William O. Douglas (slightly amended)”

“"Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get the hell out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you."
--Jack Handey”

“All men dream: but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible,

“Just in case you DO pick your friend's nose, I offer the following classic nose-nugget recipe:

Boogers On A Stick

8 ounce jar Cheez Whiz
Green food coloring
25 To 30 pretzel sticks

Waxed paper
Long handled spoon
Platter

Melt the cheeze whiz in the microwave or on top of the stove, according to directions on the jar.

Allow the cheese to cool slightly in the jar.

Using a long handled spoon, carefully stir about three drops of green food coloring into the warm cheese, using just enough to turn the cheese a delicate snot green.

To form boogers: Dip and twist the tip of each prtezel stick into the cheese, lift out, wait twenty seconds, then dip again. When cheese lumps reach an appealingly boogerish size, set pretzels, booger down, onto a sheet of waxed paper.

Allow finished boogers on a stick to cool at room temperature for ten minutes or until cheese is firm.

Gently pull boogers off waxed paper and arrange on a serving platter. Serves 5 to 6 booger buddies.

Sicko Serving Suggestion: Place a bowl of chunky red salsa in the center of the platter so that guests can turn plain boogers into bloody ones.”

“"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters."
-- Norman Maclean”

“Did you hear about the man who picked a 3 lb bugger -- his head colapsed!

Humm, wonder what the moral is to that one? Probably: Leave well enough alone.”

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then, I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

--Jack Handy
