I was tempted to stop and see if they still offer meatballs laced with fungi ;-)Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-17347881355580402112015-03-30T20:46:03.442-06:002015-03-30T20:46:03.442-06:00Another great bit of humor by the late John Barney...Another great bit of humor by the late John Barney Baxter, the bard of burns, WY, the hardest working man in mycology, and the poet lariat of Wyoming.

Jane told me her favorite place to camp was amid the lodgepole pines. She loved the smell of the pines, clear earth under the pines, the mystical nature of all those thin, straight trunks, the sound of the breeze among the branches. She said John hated the lodgepole pines and called the lodgepole forests a biological desert. Jane was the master of the marriage, the psychologist, the leader. Jane and John camped in the lodgepole pines as often as Jane wanted.<br /><br />Don BaileyBen Nevishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509322223796626966noreply@blogger.com
