Pond?  You call that a POND?  Looks more like a horse water bucket that hasn't been cleaned in a month or three!  Don't see no fish!  Don't see no water plants.  Don't see no railroad bridge.  Don't see no boats.  Don't see no fishermen.  Just a bunch of algea slime.

Uncle Tommy. You must be back on the beer this morning.....you think a fish or plants could even be in that mess that is a friend of mines that does not RR. Sad....word is plants, not "palnts" as you put it, please quit drinking or take your meds.

That ain't no hot tub.  That's not any bigger than gradpa's old foot tub.  Now this is a hot tub.

Just keeping the rodents off the right of way. (That's rabbits and squirrels to you.)

Oh, man ttrigg, that is the BEST picture in the world!

It doesn't get any better than that.  Hottub, beer, rifle, orange hunting cap.  If that's you, I envy you big time.  You'd fit in here in Texas.

In my front garden there was, at one time, a place for two automobiles to park.

I went away for a week end about 12 years ago and when I came back there was a big hole where I used to park my auto.

Why is that big hole there I asked?  Oh! it's for the new pond I was told.  Anyway the pond was lined and boulders and beach pebbles put in and it always looks OK.  There are always frogs, newts and at certain times of the year tadpoles in there.  No fish - we had a cat that was an expert fisher.  Heavens knows whose ponds he emptied but my lawn, in the back yard, often had dead carp and similar fishBlush [:I]  there.

Now that is funny! Loved to seen that one.

We just have coons pulling out snals out, there big, about a hand full. The large carp passed and now have a trash fish left.
