I think so too, Steve. When I became an Eagle Scout, we didn’t have community projects. 21 merit badges were all we had to accomplish.

why am I not surprised that you’re an Eagle Scout. That means that you and my son are part of the ‘brotherhood’. I only made Scout Master (by default) for two years. Scouting is a great organization. I hope it survives the changes in societal norms.

That’s a lot of work that young man did. I had to laugh at the cowpen daisies. A hill country friend battles them every year. They seed out so prolifically they take over her garden; she calls them ‘weeds,’ and I correct her every time!

I’m taking it easy today, listening to a soft rain on the leaves of the large trees outside my writing room, reading blog posts and working on my own. I wonder if that would earn us an Eagle Scout badge these days. Is there one for writing? (There should be.) I’m very impressed with Nico. He’s already made a difference in his community.
I’m eating less meat these days. I’ll go for the pan-roasted Grouper, please.

A nice reflection, today, Deborah. We hardly ever get soft rain. It is a frog strangler or nothing. The grouper looks good today.

Boy, am I sorry. I was looking at another comment and then answered yours, Pamela. Age is a sad waste of the mind. Yes, a frog strangler is a heavy rain. In Texas, it comes down very hard and fast.
