Michael with the "Barbra Blanco" and the Foster Grants- looks a bit like the late Ernest M. Hemingway circa 1949 Idaho- sans the shades-- and that's a compliment- as very few writers had the solid work ethic of Hemingway, and also MM- he worked at his craft, was not afraid to take a stand, but did his homework and did it well- Of all his writings I like best his decription of his father with the Rem M31- first as MM was a youngster, and then the final hunt 25 years later, when as we all must, his father became a victim of Anno Domini- And letting that rooster fly away unscathed, a bit of Gene Hill's story about the elephant hunt taken by one of Gene's friends who had terminal cancer- and the line- "Sometimes, when all is said and done, we discover that the greatest pleasure in owning a fine gun is discovering the greater pleasure of not always having to shoot it"!!
