Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 25, 2023

Make sure you check between your toes for leeches when you’re done

Until you get bit by something

Store these memories away kids, so that you’ll have something to look back on!

Always wade upstream from the waste treatment plant.

LOVE THIS! Thank you, Kevin.

Yer in deep doo, Ralph…you left Honeybunch home.

For once Ralph had a good idea.

That water in March has got to be cold.

I agree with Ralph, I live on a hillside bluff and have three dry creekbeds which when it rains , not so dry, and I love it. Nature, can’t beat it, I feel for all you city people. I could never live on a postage stamp again.

Ralph may be a dunderhead at times, but you can’t tell me he’s not a good father when he does stuff like this.

Ah! The creek that ran across my grandparents farm was like ice water in the summer.

Loved wading in streams, but not barefoot. The things that live on the bottom are less a problem than the things people leave behind— broken bottles, lost fishing tackle…

And you don’t need wifi.

Nowadays, I wouldn’t do that without wearing shoes. So much junk in the bottom and viruses/bacteria in the water. Get a scratch and lose your foot from an infection. But the thought is nice. Last time at a nice beach, I got a cut from broken glass buried in the sand.
