True story, too. And boys are very different — at least in Texas, at least in military families. Larry now is a very gentle man who would do anything for me — or anyone else, for that matter. Thanks for your comments.

What doesn’t kill ya makes you tougher? While we didn’t have a lair like yours, our favorite swimming hole had raw sewage draining into it. I love these kinds of tales, as you know. An entertaining story, for certain.

I used to have an audio of this one, but it disappeared. I hope you got my reply to your comment about Rabbit Jack; I ;eft a link to an Audio version so you can hear the accent.
By the way, the coyote didn’t speak that way; Cooter is telling the story, so it is him you hear. 🙂
