Ducks on the pond

Because of all the rain, the field behind my house has flooded, and there were ducks out on it this morning. I may be able to go hunting this fall without leaving the back porch.

Thursday night. Our county committee met last night, and then Hospice of Texarkana made a presentation about their new capital campaign at the home of my neighbors, Bill and Jerre Roberts. I ended the night back in Hempstead County in Fulton at a shrimp boil benefiting UACCH. Here's a picture from the auction that accompanied it:

Friday. I'm up at the office finishing up my PowerPoint for today's Constitution Day presentation at Texas A&M-Texarkana at lunch. This morning, though, I'm participating in Congressman Ross's annual skeet shoot over at Grandview in Hempstead County. Bubba Powers, Brent Talley and I somehow won the second flight last year in the shoot. After my noon address, I have a photo shoot, then I'm off to Little Rock for a meeting with the governor. I hope to be back to catch the second half of a local football game tonight.

Update: Congressman Mike Ross addresses the Game and Fish Legislative Subcommittee this morning. We're now hearing an update on the Telechek system and the Game and Fish iPhone app.

Update II: 35/50 this morning. Not good enough to place, especially when former olympian/sniper Randy Stewart is shooting.
