Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

Snow is better than ice though. We have had a few ice storms here that were horrible. Huge Limbs falling out of trees on people's houses and knocking out power all over the place.

It is pretty for a day or two. And if you can stay inside and not have to trudge through it. And getting rug rats to shovel? Good luck with that.

It's a required chore. Thankfully, they're pretty willing to help. They usually have to shovel their own little paths to forts and such too, because the snow often gets just plain too deep to walk.... If you duck tape your snowpants to your boots you can sorta make it thru, but it's pretty tough for me, never mind the short ones. It's impossible for the littlest one.

Ice is much, much worse than snow. I hate ice storms.

Citidiot??? Ralphie, that's just hurtful! ...and just when I was about to compliment your tator picker.

NAW, it's not hateful.... But I need to define Cidiots. Not all city people are Citidiots..

Citidiots are the ones that drive me nuts by their actions. It is easier to just list some of their misdeeds.

1) Pulled into my yard, stopped their car at 11pm by an outshed ran behind it, I had a small fence to block view of dumpster. I went out to see what was going on, to find a woman with her pants and undies below her ankles squatting and taking a dump in my yard........I was livid! I shined the light on her and she got mad at me. Screamed at me. She is taking a dump in my yard and has the nerve to scream at me?????????? She wanted me to stop "looking at her"... I refused, I was so mad I shined the light right were she did not want it and said as long as your doing what you are in my yard, I am looking... She called me names pulled her pants up without even wiping anything.....Grosss Citidiot!

2) I hear a car stop about 1/8 mile from the house, I look down the road and these people are entering my woods. I go there and they are setting up a picnic in my pasture.

3) We are at my uncles, this is during pheasant hunting season, my aunt had bantams. There are some eating in the ditch bank, a car slows down, a guy jumps out and shoots a rooster. We run out the door yelling at him, he says " sorry, I thought it was a pheasant" then throws the dead rooster in the car and speeds off........

4) I find beer cans every year in a pile under trees almost every year from deer hunters that cannot read the "keep out" signs.

5) a couple stop in to tell me my guineas are out and close to the road. Thinks I should keep them away from the road....really?? While in theory is makes as much sense as keeping guns out of the hands of gangsters it would be as impossible to do...

6) Do I need to mention the Jersey yearlong shot as a deer and on the hood of the car?

7) While working I got a call to a small town bar, to meet a man with a problem. That is all the dispatcher said. I get there and find a man outside his car. He cannot get in his car. He is afraid to open the door. He hit a raccoon a couple miles out of town. Thought it was dead, stopped picked it up and threw it in his car...He thought it was dead, it was just knocked out.... He went to the bar to knock a few back and brag about his nice coon he got........It gained consciousness on about the 5 beer... One PO'd coon in his car. My response while not very professional was, Do not drive that car or you will spend the night in jail....and that coon is your problem not mine. I suggested they figure out how to open the door and run, because the coon was so mad he would take someones leg off.....

They said I had to do something, When I said I could shoot it through the window of his new car, he thought I should leave and they would figure it out...



8) the countless families from the city that want chicks. They buy a day or two old chick, and have rugrats with them. I tell them to not let the kids play with the chicks as they are fragile and will die. They always call me and say I sold them a sick chick and it died. The record was a woman with 5 kids She bought a dozen chicks, I told her not to let the kids hold them. She said it would be okay.... I got a text and she said 5 were dead when she got home, wanted to know what was wrong with my birds....



I think this will help define the term "cidiots".... They are the cousins to the country Hicks.....

Wow, Ralph. You may keep them. I can't say I've ever encountered someone quite as idiotic as those people.

Things to do? What is more important than BYC?

Well if this is the kind of stuff cidiots are made of I certainly am not one. I am not above "going" on the side of the road if it is an emergency but we do enough camping we carry t p and plastic sacks in our vehicles for that purpose and would never go in someone's yard Or try to picnic on someone's property. I know the difference between a pheasant and a roo and a deer vs cow. I am well aware that raccoons are tough as nails and I don't wanna piss one off! Keep out means keep out. My family lease s hunting rights on some land and has for years. Everyone around here knows that's our lease ground. Do you think that stops A hole road hunters? We have to go stalk the place every hunting season and run people off. My dad even found someone in his tree stand once! I feel your pain on that one. As for keeping your birds in your own yard. . . in city limits yes I agree. I don't want my neighbors animals tearing up my gardens. In the country to each their own. And finally I have no respect for parents who can't teach their kids how to handle animals. People are stupid. I've known this since I was young. I used to hide my parakeet cage in my room when I was a kid and my idiot cousins would come over. There were six of them! They would have mauled poor rainbow to death if I didn't stand in their way. I couldn't even trust them around the fish bowl they would throw random stuff in the bowl to see if the gold fish would try to eat it.
