By now I have lost all of my erstwhile faithful readers and so I write mostly for my own amusement. As many of you know, I have been under the weather ( to put it mildly) for the last month or two and am still in a recovery mode. This is a painfully
slow process which leaves me bemused, bewildered, discouraged and a bit depressed
from time to time. But enough about me.
A horrid program last night on TV was on the subject of feral hogs. It turns out that they are spreading so rapidly that controlling the numbers is almost impossible. Not only are they very prolific, for some reason each generation is getting much larger and they are even meaner than before. These beasts are dangerous. I foresee the day when camping out will be impossible. Even hiking will be too dangerous. The pigs are destructive and apparently fearless. I wonder if they are good to eat. Probably too
tough to chew and perhaps have acquired a gamy flavor. This is almost as bad as the
dying out of our bee population.

I am glad the horrid program gave you reason to post something on your blog. Your faithful readers all miss your postings!
I second Amy's comment. Hope you keep feeling better all the time, and we can then hear more from your unique point of view.
Welcome back and thanks for the info on feral hogs. I had no idea.
Seriously, we all miss you!
Also-- feral hog is downright delicious. If I ever get my hands on any I will personally deliver it to your door, and we can feast.
Such a Texas problem!
