\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Although I am not athletic, my parents probably, maybe, should have a shrine somewhere in their attic that attests to my athletic conquests.\u00a0 Like a 4th place wrestling trophy and a fishing derby championship.\u00a0 I should be and maybe could have been athletic.\u00a0 But I’m not.\u00a0 I grew up in a town that was in the beginning stages of cultivating athletes and state championship teams.\u00a0 Somehow, I went the other direction.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My middle brother went the athletic route.\u00a0 He has items like an all-state jacket and a state championship ring.\u00a0 He played baseball for numerous years at numerous levels and then married a collegiate basketball player.\u00a0 Guess why his kids don’t show animals?\u00a0 They play ball and play it at a high level.\u00a0 It is apparent that I will be watching some Alva Lady Gold Bugs sports in the next few years.\u00a0 And then will watch the nephew play some ball.\u00a0 I’m fine with that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Dragon Lady was wicked athletic.\u00a0 Right up until she hatched Duke.\u00a0 Until then, she was fast.\u00a0 6on6 basketball was her thing at Arnett high.\u00a0 And they were really good.\u00a0 REALLY good!\u00a0 Tammy will watch high school ball anytime, anywhere.\u00a0 I won’t drive 20 miles to watch a stock show.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I have a bad right eye.\u00a0 There were some bad decisions and bad timing back in the late 80s.\u00a0 And then things got worse.\u00a0 Now, if you groove a pitch at me, I can still launch it.\u00a0 I’ve written about throwing at a doe goat.\u00a0 I still have my moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Like this evening.\u00a0 I\/we recently acquired several head of commercial hair sheep.\u00a0 \u00a0Like a 100 plus.\u00a0 There are a few (like 25) lambs still nursing.\u00a0 They are all here where the goats used to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Tonight, there was a lamb that had gone underneath a watergap into the mini-herf pasture.\u00a0 I decided to catch it.\u00a0 OH HELL!\u00a0 I had it cornered but that did not mean that I had it caught.\u00a0 Ten foot gateway and I made myself wide!\u00a0 \u00a0Arms outstretched and working side2side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Texans have told me that when you crowd these hair sheep, that you need loose fences because they will bounce head first, full speed.\u00a0 If the fence is too tight, they will break their necks.\u00a0 People, they ain’t lying.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I needed to catch about a 35# lamb.\u00a0 I had him crowded but I was by myself.\u00a0 It made a run head first into the fencing.\u00a0 He bounced back.\u00a0 I crowded him.\u00a0 He then jumped into me headfirst–right into the sternum.\u00a0 I didn’t catch him.\u00a0 A 35# hair sheep can leave a divot in a sternum.\u00a0 Damn!\u00a0 \u00a0A small hair sheep is like a missile.\u00a0 He now lunged with all it’s power into the fence.\u00a0 I caught him on the rebound.\u00a0 He did not immediately quit the fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
