4th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner at the Community Hall
This year, a traditional sit-down meal will be possible (though it isn’t the only option). The dinner is taking place at both the community hall and the Trego Pub on Thanksgiving Day. The meal (and delivery) are free- though donations (of any kind) are welcome. If previous experience is any indication- the food will be… Continue reading 4th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner at the Community Hall

To Cook a Wild Turkey
Things are not always as they appear. I’m used to domestic turkeys, purchased from a grocery store, stuffed and baked.

A while later, I got my first message from the draft board, granting me a II-S student deferment. Many of my classmates had graduated high school holding… Continue reading Thoughts on Drafting Women
The Last Week of Hunting Season
I have a bit less than 2 miles of road frontage – over a mile of it wide and paved. The forest is thick on trees, and thin on distance – which translates to many spots where it is difficult for the casual shooter to know his or her backstop. I’ve seen careless, desperate hunters… Continue reading The Last Week of Hunting Season
