This is a completely true story
It happened 25 years ago
Cutting firewood with my good friend Jim.......
Jim was 10 years older than me
He would have loved this group
Jim didn't graduate from highschool
And really struggled to write his own name
There wasn't ANYTHING Jim couldn't fix
He worked for Exide battery plant
And was a world traveler for them
As he was one of their best at building & repairing assembly line machinery
Anyway.... back to the firewood cutting story
We were both running chainsaws
About 8" inches of nice white snow on the ground
Cutting up a dead tree
I felt a tap on my shoulder
I looked and Jim had a strange look on his face... very worried
He motioned for me to shut off my chainsaw
He then said "are you ok? "
Uh ... yea why ?
"Your bleeding pretty bad"
WHAT ? I ain't bleeding
"There's blood everywhere" ... and it's not me he said
We looked around
About that time ... a pissed off packrat run up on a branch
With no tail ... we had chainsawed right thru his cozy home
The rat went up on a limb
Then turned and looked at us about 10 seconds. .....
Then jumped into another tree and scurried off
Jim said "where do you think he's going ?"
I looked him with a straight face and said...
Probably into town ... to the ... Re-Tail store
Well .... one of us thought it was funny
