Say WHAT??

Nope! Tried and he just kept insisting that the 'gator couldn't be the problem. I just walked away.
Seriously!?! Ugh!

Just today, I saw this from Leo Tolstoy


“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-
witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the
simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if
he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of
doubt, what is laid before him.”
 
Sometimes you just gotta wonder.

I was at the feed store the other day and joined in a conversation being led by a fellow who was losing ducks on his tank (If your not from Texas, "tank" is Texas-talkin' for a man-made pond.), and was considering getting geese for predator protection although he wasn't sure what the guilty critter was.

Of course the conversation turned to what might be getting his ducks, coon, coyote, turtle etc. None made any sense because he said that there was no sign of them, the ducks just disappeared, no feathers, no blood, just gone!

We were all at a loss until finally, he told us one last vital piece of need-to-know information, "There is a four foot 'gator in the tank, but the ducks stay away from him."

Awesome quote, even if I don't agree with some of his other ideas.
 
Cannot say I am a huge fan of everything he wrote, but this seemed timely.

And not to leave a false impression . . . I have not read much of what he wrote.
No judgement intended...some of his work was required reading back in High School. I still shudder thinking about trying to plow through it.

Some valid points there. Mind you i have never heard of this person, so no idea on his in general philosophies.
