Our ten-year-old Chad and his frien-
ds, Danny Colman, Kevin Carter, Ricky
Stanfield, Tommy Ardoin and Don
Elsom and others, have recently
discovered the fun of crawdad fishing.
I say discovered because it has been
dry for so long I think they had forgot-
ten about it until the recent rains that
left a little water standing in places.
There has been a constant procession
through my kitchen for bacon, and on
through the house to Chad's room for
kite string. Following that procession
on the return trip has been the trek to
the patio to take off the muddy and
soaked jeans that he has on and in-
variably "falls in" wearing, the trips to
the outside garden hose to wash as
much of the gummy mud as possible off
of the tennis shoes that he had on, and
finally the trip to the shower to get the
mud out of his hair. (Mud in the hair is
almost a necessity to successful
crawdad fishing, it seems. (
One day recently they came in for
bacon. We were out.
"Get the salt pork out of the
refrigerator drawer and cut some
hunks of it off," I told Chad.
"What's salt pork?" he asked me.
Talk about a bunch of city kids .......
I showed him the salt pork, but the
boys were unconvinced that it would
work as well as bacon.
