Criss Morgan, of Port Allen, says either there was a mistake in a story on our Outdoors page, or a thrilling new kind of hunting is about to be launched.

The July 3 story said items discussed at a meeting of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission included increased boating safety enforcement, changes in the 2010 spring turkey season, dates for the early migratory bird season, and the use of deer to hunt dogs on Kisatchie National Forest lands.

Criss says this conjures up a priceless image.

Yeah, I can just see Bambi charging through the forest in hot pursuit of Lassie …

The big chill

“Just Me” asks you to “join me in fighting global warming by participating in ‘local chillin’.’

 “All I ask of each of you is to stop on your way home from work and buy 3 to 4 bags of ice.

“Then, once you get home, break each sack open and spread it on your sidewalk and driveway.

“As most of you know, concrete really holds the heat. So, if enough of us join in, we might be able to drop the mercury at night!”

(Are you guys down at the icehouse messing with me?)

Blunt reply

Retired law professor Tom Harrell says, “Recently a friend of mine remarked to another that in spite of it all I was ‘still as sharp as a tack.’

“To which the other simply replied, ‘At which end of it?’ ”
