That is not what a hunter's ambivalence is about-- I very much doubt this hunter and his dogs will ever turn vegetarian.</i><br /><br />Aw, I doubt he thinks anyone should turn vegetarian. He just thinks we should outsource the killing and the moral troubles to some lumpen prole in a stockyard.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-74476156518058596872011-03-04T21:00:01.658-08:002011-03-04T21:00:01.658-08:00Damn you.

The last thing I need right now is something to add to my reading list.<br /><br />This winter for the first time in my life I've fallen behind on reading due to health issues and related crap but working dogs, food and [sigh] the smell of grass are too alluring to ignore.<br /><br />I love fine perfume. A while back I paid too much money for a bottle of discontinued fragrance marketed as "the smell of fresh cut grass". The scent absolutely lived up to its name and once a week when I'm surrounded by the bitter cold of a Minnesota winter I indulge in wearing a scent that brings me back to summer - the fragrance of grass.<br /><br />The smell makes me so happy and brings so may wonderful memories that I just can't resist a book with that title.Janeenhttp://smartdogs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-6224426134434601782011-03-04T10:46:28.079-08:002011-03-04T10:46:28.079-08:00Yes to that, Tom!Yes to that, Tom!Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-23818414462025164332011-03-04T10:39:22.823-08:002011-03-04T10:39:22.823-08:00Thanks for the review.

I liked the bird hunting ones. <br /><br />His novel "Red Stag" is fantastic and definitely another one Querencia readers should check out.
