Hi 2 dogs, I saw this gentleman this morning. He is a very lucky man indeed, but his woods are filled with hunters who obviously don't have a brain in their heads.

#2 Lynne,
Well Lynne, unless my geography lessons about the USA were wrong, from what I recall Louisiana is separated from Florida by a couple of states, so did this man get on his lawn mower and ride to Florida or are you tripping on your meds, again? Or don't you know what state you live in? Must be a comatosed state eh?
