REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time

THE GREAT WEST

Below the debris is a pine forest. Today the place has been
turned into a commercial free-for-all, with a large
amphitheater, rinky-dink souvenirs, and expensive parking.
Never-the-less, the last time we were there we saw a Mountain
goat in the amphitheater.

I did like going fishing, but not fishing. I’d rather keep the
fishermen company. Pop bought a 3 day license for Joe. It
cost him a fist full of money, $7.00. He thought it was a rip-
off. Joe should have been able to fish for free because he was
so young. But no, Joe wasn’t having any of that. He told
them he was old enough; old enough to have a license.
Well, Pop watched while Joe fished. He made suggestions, but
never touched anything. He wasn’t going to get a fine. He’d
been burnt already.
