It will mean an end to music unless you fancy whistling.Yahoobuckaroo's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621308885893253608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-62104852390633997922011-04-13T20:59:14.167-05:002011-04-13T20:59:14.167-05:00Oh, you know what is great about you?

I can't imagine a time, if everything were to fall apart, that I wouldn't hear a banjo. That really got to me one day when I was in one of those sappy moods. I thought, I'm going to have to learn the banjo! I can't do that! You could.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-47906144331133971772011-04-13T20:54:17.644-05:002011-04-13T20:54:17.644-05:00yep, that's what we're doing.

I remember several years ago when they found what is usually referred to as "Otzi the ice man" frozen in an Italian glazier, that this 5,300 year old mummy had more survival skills than modern man will ever have. Out of all the various tools he had with him--bow and arrows, hatchet, knife etc., everything was made from the absolute best materials he could have used. The different wood types he used (I think there were seven different kinds of wood) for his arrows, the knife handle and so on were the best he could have chosen in his area of the world. He knew exactly what he was doing.<br /><br />I don't even know an oak from a maple or a cedar, let alone what woods to use for various tools and weapons. I know exactly three kinds of flowers: tulips, roses, and bleeding hearts. I have no idea what herbs and roots look like in the ground or what they're good for, or what could be used for medicines. If I killed a rabbit, I wouldn't know how to check it for rabbit fever. I was a grocery store meat cuter for 15 years, but know nothing about diseases.<br /><br />I don't know that anything bad will ever happen, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy a survival guide I guess.Yahoobuckaroo's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621308885893253608noreply@blogger.com
