[AT] Summer is here

[Charlie V]

My posts never arrive in my mailbox from the list, even though I have
the choices set to do so.  Strangely, no acknowledgement came back on
the last post either, as they usually do.

We used to have a white Chinese gander that was meaner than a rattle
snake.  I knew how to deal with him, but no one else wanted to.  I
knew he would always attack and try to grab with his bill and beat me
with his wings.  As soon as he was within reach I always grabbed his
neck right behind the head, then wrapped my arm around him to hold his
wings down, and picked him up, still maintaining my holds.  That would
make him really mad, but there was nothing he could do about it except
the to try to kick with his feet.  I was stronger, so he lost.
Eventually we traded him off for a calm old Toulouse gander.

Charlie V.
