Russell Gayer, author speaker
I can really relate to this week’s photo. I’ve been called an ‘old buzzard,’ and told that I have ‘buzzard breath’ upon occasion. Experts say we don’t have buzzards in NW Arkansas, technically they are vultures. I’m not going to worry too much about it unless one’s picking my bones. My Dad used to say if you ate a lot of hot peppers they would eat you. It’s a good thing I had a dozen jalapenos before starting this story.

This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.
Or the three people I guilted into reading this blog, whatever.
Growing older is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

Ack!! I'm being eaten!! Got me on the ending! Loved the dialog and I have to agree, we need to be a little more ripe before eaten. We're too tough when we're raw. ;)Here's mine. http://mahjira.blogspot.com/2012/07/bird-friday-fictioneer.html

Hi Russell,Did you know Friday Fictioneers taste just like chicken? Tyson's chicken, that has been left in a mayonaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls front porch for two days in July. But don't complain, there are kids in China who would love to be eating a Fictioneer!Ron

Right you are, Ron. Fictioneers come in Hot & Spicy, BBQ, Lemon Pepper, and Ranch. I believe Madison is working on a dipping sauce even as we speak!

Dear Russell,The kids can eat my lawyer if they can find their way to The Big Apple. Tell 'em to follow their nose and as Mick Jagger said, "Don't mind the maggots."This was a story with a sweet (sickly so) ending. I refuse to be run over by the prompts and neither do you, because this weeks story was another choice gobbet from you.Aloha,DougFor others not willing to finish their suppers— http://ironwoodwind.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/roadkill/
