Fun in Georgia

Wow... last night was awesome. After the show, we put our stuff in the back of a truck and drove about 10 minutes with no clouds and no lights to keep us from seeing the stars. It was amazing. Then, when we got there, the wife of our host couple said to her husband, "Is that a possum?" After a few seconds, he goes, "No, that's an armadillo... Guess I'll shoot it." So, the next thing I hear is a gun being cocked. I was in the back taking bags off and I jump off to see Earl with a Glock pistol walking slowly towards an armadillo over by a picnic table. He fires and, lemmie tell ya, that thing is LOUD. The armadillo flies two feet in the air and then runs, or tries to because it just got shot. Then, Earl walks a little closer and BAM, shoots it again. It twitches for about three minutes, then dies. THEN, he looks around and stares at something about 80 feet away. "Is that another one?" We walk over and it's another armadillo. What does he do? BAM... BAM! The thing jumps and starts writhing and bleeding all over everything. "Oh, man, he's bleedin' all over the steps over here." Haha, man... it was crazy.

After that, we walk through this wooden meeting hall outside to a deck, which is next to a 40 acre lake. Earl turns the lights on and tells us to look over the edge of the deck. We look over and see some big fish, like 2-3 feet in length. Then, he sprinkles in some catfish food and these HUGE catfish show up. When I say huge, I mean four feet long 8-inch diameter catfish. They are monsters. Man... so awesome.

The next morning, we wake up to find another armadillo eating the DEAD ARMADILLOS. I never knew how crazy armadillos were.

Anyway... We're at a hotel just outside Knoxville, TN. We've got around a 3 hour drive tomorrow to Big Laurel, which should be fun. And theeennnnn, we're off back to Huntington for our week off! It'll be really nice to have a break for a while. Well, back to watching Seinfeld and chillin' some more on our day off. Peace out.
