#198 SANDY LAKE recreation area MCGREGOR MN

When it comes to hunting, I'm not a hunter but if I we're hungry I'd be the best hunter you ever met. Having said that in the modern era where almost everything you need is at Walmart or your favorite grocery store, hunting is mostly just for bloodlust. If we weren't killing animals, we probably we would be killing each other even more.

I was listening to the radio and said that and they said North Dakota was only going to kill 200,000 pheasants this year compared to 500,000 last year because of the drought. At first, I thought, you guys just suck because that's a whole lot of birds to kill just for the fun of it. Sometimes you can't find them and they just lay there and rot. I was going to post something this morning in protest of how weird you all are out there. I googled some facts. I asked Google how many pheasants are shot and it turns out we raise and then release 35 million pheasants for people to hunt. Most of them don't survive either hunting or predators. Now I guess the whole thing's kind of like why post anything.

Maybe at the end of the day, humans are just weird as crap and I don't get any of it.

Sandy Lake was a perfectly beautiful little spot and that's about the only significant thing about it is that it was pretty and it was a 2-hour stop. India and I found a club holding recovery meetings. It didn't look like anything but a trailer park and we kept on looking. We circled back and looked real close and even though it was kind of a funky-looking trailer it was the Alano Club. India took in a meeting. I had to be very careful. I'm dropping her off at a place that looks like a meth lab but later she said it was a really good meeting.

The next night something happened here that is a bit of a drag. I was milling about and somehow my wedding ring fell off. I looked high and low and I traced my steps and I swear I could not find my wedding band. From that day forward I kept on thinking man I got to get a replacement. I hope procrastinating about getting a new one didn’t hurt India but I lollygagged for months before I got around to getting anew one. I eventually saw a nice one at Walmart and got myself married some more.
