Hey Dusty Stevens

[Uthink Uknow]

Saw this road sign in Ireland a couple weeks ago. Now it reminds me of what is going on in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri. The roads in Ireland are narrow and some are really close to the coast. I think the IRA is alive and well, too.

This is a dam powerhouse and switchyard we needed to get to yesterday.

Here we have a blackhawk trying to stop a breached levee

That group on the left looks pretty good.

Them is my cousins over there. That group looks real good when you realize they shot it from the next mountain with an fal

Does that sign say, "don't drive your shot up SAAB off the cliff."

It was white knuckle time quite often for my Irish bride, well, of Irish descent. Let’s see if I can find that other picture. I never realized Ireland is cliffs, rocks, narrow roads. I always thought it was all green pastures full of sheep, cows, and cattle.

If I drove a SAAB, I don't think you could keep me from driving off a cliff.

But sometimes it was like this.

Never been to Ireland but I did a couple Car Bombs one night.

Did you get to see come good Border Collies working in those pastures?

 

[Gun Smith]

If there was a market for them rocks, the folks in Galway and Donegal would all be rich. First time I flew into Ireland about 50 years ago, there were Sheep on the pastures around Shannon airport. Ireland was a magical place back then for a young fellow from the US. No drinking age (at least not enforced!), fresh, honest food, and very inexpensive bed and breakfast houses to boot. Not anymore. Prices over there are really crazy now.

 

[Uthink Uknow]

I didn't think the prices were all that bad. Hell, it costs to go out to dinner here too. Guinness for 5 euros a pint is about what we pay in a decent place for a crap beer. We did AirBNB before we left and the prices were on a par with Patel’s Motel on an asphalt parking lot here. Being surrounded by water was right up my alley for Fish and Chips at about 10 euros most times. I did have a leg of lamb one night and that was 15 euros. It was delicious but then I felt guilty the next day.

Tying a firecracker to a matchbox car doesn’t count!

SO no one thinks I am a terrorist (guess not everyone knows what a car bomb is) a car bomb is a shot of Jameson chased with a tall Guiness.

Border collies
As a matter of fact, we saw a massive field running uphill in an area near the Skelligs where they hold working dog trials. There was one at work with about 20 sheep. We watched until we got tired. The dog wasn’t tired but it is exhausting just watching them. I have seen the world trials held there on TV. Those dogs are outstanding.

I went to the Greyhound races once in Cork City with my Uncle's Joe and Dan, who bred racing Greyhounds. Really fun to watch, and listen to the Bookies, which I could hardly understand the accent of. They used to have live Hare hunts also, "Coursing" I think it was called. Don't know if it's still legal there. Never attended one of those events, but apparently the poor Hare gets torn to bits when caught by the dog(s).
