Now this is the Law of the Jungle --
as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper,
but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk
the Law runneth forward and back --
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf,
and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

~Rudyard Kipling~


the case better still be locked and kept in a cool,
dry place - nowhere
near sparks or flame
(please). if "fuzz" appears
to be growing, move to
back of property line and contact me
here immediately.

Looking forward to "leveling" the den,
come spring. See ya there.

Technology Strikes HITW

This picture has nothing to do with the subject matter of this posting, but I am so proud of this shot, I just wanted to share it with you one more time.

This picture also has no bearing on my words of wisdom, but again, just wanted to share this great shot with you, one more time!

The "warning", "dinner" and just multi purpose annoying bell and the wind directional device are safely secured in my basement until spring when weather permits installation on the gazebo at the HITW. These are good additions to the HITW, in the anticipation of the forth coming season. However, in remembrance of our "original" blog (log) system at the HITW and the advancement that each of us have made in computer technology, I am very excited to announce that the HITW is now a WIFI spot for your enjoyment. Effective, today, the Eagles Nest has went wireless and broadcasting at maximum allowable strength. Due to the location of the HITW in relationship to the elevation of the Eagle Nest, you may need to lug your "tower" and keyboard with a back up battery pack to the top of the "sand hill" or on top of the gazebo to gain access to the signal.

I have also installed my "laptop" to a new printer and have them set up on Mama Eagles desk, she now has no excuse not to be on the system. She is now wireless, a good computer, and no reason not to start blogging. I have also re-activated her old email address (tlh418@yahoo.com), now it is up to all of you to entice her to join the electronic era. I would suggest that all of you bombard her mail box with email enticing her to re-activate her blog site, just a suggestion! Have a hood day day, a good evening, and a Happy New Year.

Roots...

No matter where we go, no matter what we do, somewhere inside of us a little voice calls to go home. It seems when we are not near the ones we love...we tend to miss them in a different way...a way that opens the mind and heart...some call it homesickness...right now I am calling it the need for spring...sorry Christmas...but fresh air and sunshine cure all that ales a human being.

With several months still until we can open the flood gates of the HITW...I would just like to say this...

Family fun for everyone,
basking in the mud,
fire burning brazenly,
hey we need more wood!
people roaming round the grounds,
dogs going to the bar.
marshmallows by the fire side,
no peeps for me next year.
Tournaments we know I'll lose,
no hard feeling here.
Just wait you folks,
for come next year,
Nerd games I have prepared.
Wolves, and Moose, Bears and Buffs
soaring with the Eagles.
Ravens come and Ravens go,
the squirrels eating peanuts
Our Charmin, and our other friends,
roaming oh so near.
Basking in the summer sun
waiting for Blue Duck
to come riding home.

On that note...Dana planning how many pounds of Avocados she needs this year? Dad have you got the balls waxed? Whats our camp fire surprise next summer sister?? Hey pope? he is never here anyway...but he is responsible for my new found liking to alcohol...wonder what expensive whiskey he will treat us too this time. (my annual drunk) Will we build a kitchen this year? What will we modify? and Uncle Bill...maybe he will bring us horses okay more like mules...but close enough hmmm....
Family and Memories...with one like ours...it is hard to stay too far from home.

On this note...Happy Holidays to my family...Remember it is the season of hope and good faith...faith that all will be well in the end. I love you guys.
