Mabeline

I thought I'd try an easy drop with Mabel tonight. That didn't quite work out. She struck a track & I could tell it was going to be one of those nights. She was just screwing around on the ditch & I knew she'd be there for an hour. I just drove around the section for a while and listened to the radio, stopping occasionally to listen for her. Finally I heard her treed way back to the southwest behind the old folks place. I almost threw up a couple of times as I walked across a field of deep snow. When I finally got to the tree I didn't see a coon. This surprised me & I kept looking for a long time. Finally I saw it, one tree over. Oh well. I walked pretty slow back out, I'm out of shape.
