    ~ Mrs. Shirley Baxter, who went deer hunting with her husband, is very proud that she was able to shoot a fine buck as well as her husband.

    ~ Organ donations from the living reached a record high last year, outnumbering donors who are dead for the first time.

    ~ The dog was hungry and made the mistake of nipping a 2-year-old that was trying to force feed it in his ear.

    ~ We spent most of our time sitting on the back porch watching the cows playing Scrabble and reading.

    ~ Hunting can also be dangerous, as in the case of pygmies hunting elephants armed only with spears.
