Mom's gone to Chico again. Maybe I can go some day. I want to see where they filmed part of The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938): "All the Sherwood Forest scenes were filmed in magnificent Bidwell Park, located in Chico, California. Big Chico Creek is where Robin first meets Little John & Tuck. Local University kids loiter there now; legends walked there once.."
On our afternoon walk to Watson Hollow I discovered an interesting pile of dirt. Something had been burrowing under the grass. I scoped it out for a while, but nothing popped up.
Who's been diggin'?
Then I thought I heard something in the grass.
I know it's in there!
Again, I waited but nothing. I did catch some rays, but I cautioned my 'Boswell'*(?) not to take his shirt off due to his Pepto-Bismol complexion. He might scare the wildlife. ARF, ARF!
Goat in sheep's clothing?
I think Tule was on to something. I think I saw a goat in sheep's clothing today. Either that goat wants to be sheared or doesn't want to make any more cheese. Hard to say.
(?) Questions. Am I his or is he my Boswell? Are we all each others Boswell?
James Boswell: "James Boswell (1740-1795)
Scottish lawyer, essayist, known for his two-volume biography THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D (1791), published seven years after the death of its subject. Boswell met Samuel Johnson in May 1763 in Davies's London bookshop and the two became fast friends. He recorded in detail Johnson's words and activities in a relatively short period. Later the historian Thomas Macaulay (1800-1859) called Boswell's worship of Dr. Johnson 'Lues Boswelliana, or disease of admiration.'
'We cannot tell the precise moment when a friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over.' (from Life of Johnson)"
