coulee
When the fur-trading Voyageurs made their way up the Mississippi River to where my family lives now, they named the limestone outcroppings overlooking the river coulees. For you non-Jocko French speakers, dat's Frog for valley. They're really purdy on a sunny day, them coulee bluffs. I can actually see the stars at night here too.
Upon arrival, I was able to spot over thirty bald eagles roosting along the river. Gee, I guess they're making a comeback. Then saw the requisite deer at the base of the bluffs, but no turkeys spotted yet.
Went out to da tavern for a bit to play some pool with my brother which might be fun later in the week. Still kinda bushed from the flight though, which was remarkably delay-free today.
Upon my return, I will have to begin working immediately. Still no Web-related PR/marketing job for Jimbo yet, so I gotta bring the dough in somehow. I'll bartend, hammer nails, paint nails, or whatever. If you know someone who has such an opening...let me know! No more clubs, no more rugby, no more movies, no more Pentagurl City, etc., etc., etc. until I get some cash flow.
