The Trip Begins
For the first time in 3 years, Northwest Airlines didn't strand us in Minneapolis or Detroit for the night. We actually arrived in Boston on time.
Notable events so far have included the birthday dinner of chicken and dumplings for Aunt Beth. Most of the Yankee relatives looked at it uncertainly, rather like tourists in Asia viewing fish or shellfish that they have never seen before in their life. To their credit, there were no leftovers.
The Red Sox game at Fenway was a treat. The Sox beat up on the Devil Rays, with both coaches clearing their benches by the 5th or 6th inning.
Now we are in Maine, reducing the lobster population.
It is kind of nice to go several days in a row without being outraged by national politics. Ignorance can be bliss, until the bill comes due.

Trophy Hunting Red Hartebeest in South Africa
Name
Red hartebeest

Average Weight Male 150 kg
Average Weight Female 120 kg
Shoulder Height Male 1.25m
Shoulder Height Female 1.15m
Mating Season March April
Red Hartebeest Hunting
A unique animal with a long face and horns stretching up and then horizontally back, in many cases reminding one of Harley handlebars. Ranging from deep red to light tan in color, these animals can adapt from open plains to bushy areas. During the early morning and late afternoon they tend to be in the open plains. Seemingly incompetent, these animals can become real adversaries when confronted by the hunter. If in bushy areas, this can become a challenging hunt. In the open plains, shots can be from 150-200 yards. Medium sized calibers such as the 7mm Mag, 30-06 or 300Win Mag are recommended.
Both the males and females have horns.
