I was looking through the New Books thread and got happily side-tracked. One name keeps popping up in this forum and it seemed like it was time to explore that name again. It seems like this guys is living the life. I did a brief search that led me to http://www.brucesmithhammer.com . If you haven’t already and I’m sure many of you have, go to the samples page and take your pick. I have one selection yet to read. Well reported, well researched, well said articles and columns about the wild out west. Great stuff, Bruce. best, dwc

Thanks so much, David and Alex. Wordsmithing is right up there with bowhunting on the “short list” of my favorite things to do. I hope to be able to devote more time to it in the coming year.

Thanks for the website link … now we finally know what the mysterious BS looks like. I’m betting you regularly get carded at the liquor store, eh Bruce? 😆 Somehow I had you pictured as older, like most of the rest of the world it seems. Misery loves company.

“Mysterious BS” being the operative phrase, for sure. 8)

I’m 47, and yeah, I just got carded the other day.

Bet you got carded trying to buy clogs in some trendy resort-town co-op. Just gotta stay out of those places. Dc

Haha…you must have been a fly on the wall at our pub the other night, David. I went off on a little satirical rant about “man clogs”…and I’ll leave it at that. 8)

Smithy, i must have felt a disturbance in the force. As long as you weren’t talking bad about my blue crocs….

Better a fly on the wall than one on the windshield. Cheers dwc

Yea, that happened to me the other day too. I handed over my ID and started to tell the teller that at 48 it feels good to still get carded once in a while. She responded that she was just verifying that I wasn’t using a stolen credit card 😳

Looking forward to reading your stuff!

Doh! Well, I guess we have to take it where we can get it. 😆

Not to go off on a tangent, but we frequently have the Croc debate as well.:D Put me in the “pro” crowd. A good treatment of the topic:

Lookin forward to seeing where you take this thing Bruce. Good reads indeed.

My wife and children had Crocs and wanted me to get a pair. I kept resisting. Then I found a pair on sale for $10 and gave in. Blue ones, to boot. Easy to slap on to take out the garbage for a walk to the swimming hole. I wearing the same pair for at least three years. Silly, maybe, but what’s a dad if he can’t join the silly fun. dwc

PS. just read that Hairy Hippy link. Good stuff.

Looking forward to hearing more from the Hairy Hippy Mountain Man, Clay!

Gotta love that this thread has become about Crocs, of all things.

I may own a pair, but they are strictly a lightweight camp shoe for when I’m far from humanity. 😳

Which reminds me, I heard a good joke about Crocs recently:

Q: Why do Crocs have holes in them?

A: So your pride can leak out.
