If it weren't for kids with chalk...

...I wouldn't have a picture to post today!*





Walked six miles in the sun and found nothing at all that made it worth pulling the camera out of its carrying-case. I've hinted that this area is singularly dull image-wise, and now I'm out-and-out saying it. It's nowhere for a photographer.

I'll say one thing, though: this kid's a real Texan. Or maybe illiterate.

* Yeah, like you care....

PARENTHETICAL I'M-NOT-A-TOTAL-DUMMY (MOST OF THE TIME, ANYWAY) THOUGHT:  I do happen to know that "dogie" is, as the dictionary reminds us, a Western term for a "motherless calf." I remember "Git Along, Little Dogies," as performed by a bazillion cowboy singers (usually twangin' away on a gee-tar while astride their hosses). I still think this was cute, and kinda Texas-y....

I'm not gonna say it...

Ya don't have to say it, Doug. I know "dogies" are orphaned calves....

So the kid was illiterate or can't draw!

Doug said...

That's not what I was not gonna say ;-)

MrScribbler said...

You can always say what you weren't gonna say, Doug.

I can take it.

Except when it makes me feel all sad and stuff....

I'll only say it in private.

MrScribbler said...

Oh fine, "Mag." Now I can stew about whether I said something dumber than usual, made a huge-O spelling error or otherwise disgraced myself (again).

That's all right. I can take it.

Not about you...always with you.

they must know something I don't.
There must be a double entendre here somewhere.
Oh well, a Texas kid talking about dogies is a good thing.
