Sheep farmer. I used to research & teach the stuff that bunches Fascist-panties (AKA anthropology & global studies).

Purveyor of fine heritage wools and f-bombs.

If the old man wants caramel corn, the old man gets caramel corn.

He's about 100 in people-years, and he's been a trash panda the entire time, so why get weird about it now? 🤷🏼

I once requested that a giant anteater take the left fork in the trail, and it politely did so (I was eating my lunch on the ground in the middle of the right fork).

When in doubt, I always try to be courteous with wildlife. 😊

Figured that some of y'all might need a dose of Emotional Support Lewis after this sh!tshow of a week.

And, yes -- he eats his daily noms out of a Publix bakery frosting bucket. We're fancy like that.

Lady Bird always enjoys a cool, refreshing treat when she knows it's gonna be a HOT one.

That moment you realize that you've been using the 4-wheeler all afternoon and apparently accidentally kidnapped somebody's kids. 😳(!)

(We **immediately** went back to where it had been parked. Mama has been tending them diligently ever since. ♥️)
