So I am pleased to report that there is a nice little bayou breeze action going on this evening. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still insanely hot. Eighty-eight degrees with a “feels like” temperature of one hundred according to weather.com. But in the shade with the breeze it really doesn’t feel much over 95.
And now back to my adventure with the Swamp Dwellers. Really, it was about as far from a scene from Deliverance as you can get, but I really like that movie and have been thinking about watching it again. I love that part when they’re digging the grave for the creepy pig-squealing guy and Drew goes all spastic. Plus, it’s like how come you guys didn’t bring your paddles to help you dig?
Alright, where was I? Yes, yes. We rounded a bend in the canal and…you know, I’m getting tired of this story. I think I’m going to go eat leftover Redneck Gumbo and watch Deliverance in the cool AC of my home on wheels instead. Maybe I’ll finish it for you tomorrow. I don’t know. Does anybody really care?
Heck, yea! I was there and I care!!! Don’t leave me hanging like that!
BW
Yay! Someone cares! As Sally would say “You like me, you really like me!” Thanks for the amazing adventure!
OMG Diane,
If you do not finish this story of the Swamp Dweller, I will go crazy wondering what you seen? Please add a picture of the S.D. at the end of your story too.
Oh thank you Aunt Joyce! I always enjoy your comments. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the adventure.
Um, yes, we care! I’m already casting the movie version in my head. I think Matthew McConaughey will be in it.
Ooh yeah. Matthew McConaughey would be perfect. And it was so hot that he would definitely need to be shirtless. Bonus! I think the older cousin would need to play himself. He’s perfect. Let’s see, I’m leaning towards Sharon Stone for BW. But who in the heck would we get to play me? Tim Curry?
