I'm too old to go diggin' anymore... I do remember all those good times tho... with the mosquitoes, the snakes, the black flies, the rusty metal (tetanus), the broken glass, the broken Townsend's and, of course, the poison ivy... Ever had to show your female doc your privates raging with full-blown PI?
The BEAR: It's a figural, possibly Russian, that probably held a liquor called kummel, made from caroway seeds...
The last one I had was buried with my black Lab, named Bear, who died last summer at the ripe old age of 15... My wife had bought that one for me at the Albany bottle show a couple of years ago... Good ol' Bear has a host of grave goods, including ancient Roman coins and Inuit bear effigies...
We can't help ourselves...We're archeologists, after all!!!
Man Ron, You need to stop. my wife saw that pic with the light shining through the bear and I thought I was going to have to tye her up.[sm=lol.gif] Booze made from caroway seed,and I thought rye tasted bad.[:'(] That stuff really sounds bad[&:] Your never to old to dig. Have the chillens or grandchillens break the ground and you grt in and pull out the bottles.[] Understand about bear. Been a dog guy all my life. I think I'm on my last one. Getting to old to handle the loss.
