That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 12, 2019

“Ok, I’ll hunt rabbits; you’ll hunt ducks. That way at least one us will be hunting an animal in season.”

“Now we will go hunt down the ingredients for tonight’s dinner of Coq au vin.”

“I think the revenuers might come this way, since there’s only one road.”

“By the way, be careful with the bears, they are in heat.”

“By the way, I wouldn’t mention Bigfoot to any of the boys in camp. They’re a might sensitive since he’s blood kin to most of them, and he never took the trouble marry any of their mamas.”

New York city is getting a little too crowded. I remember when the nearest neighbor was a mile away.

Fortunately, I don’t think it’s going to get any worse. After all, who wants to live on an island like this?

If he has to go #2, he CAN use the WAY – out house !

“The batch isn’t quite ready yet,but keep a lookout for revenuers. If you see any,sic the dog on em…”

I thought only bears did it out here.

The second tree is for number one, the third tree is for number two. Don’t go to the fourth tree, that’s the ladies’ tree. (Apologies to the M*A*S*H writers)

“Whew! We made it through the Winter. Time to hide the bones.”

They turn out to be people producing charcoal. I’m guessing it depicts Bavaria. Back in 2008 somebody bought it at for only 340 euro (https://schmidt-auktionen.de/12_artikel_details.php?nr=15&knr=10) at auction. The condition was a bit off; the auctioneer noted minor retouching and a bit of missing paint in the sky area. Sounds like the painting may have had a bit of a rough life.

It was a Dark and Stormy afternoon…

Which tree are we chopping down to make toilet paper?

I like the caption,it makes sense the first tree is right out in the open.

Owsley: The Early Years.

" Yes, go down there and tell ‘em it’s turpentine they smell, not meth! "

“See that squirrel? I know how to get them arguing for hours…”

No, this is the charcoal making area; the sugar maples are down the road.

Granpa ran moonshine out of them hills. Pop cooked meth up there. Me? I’m going legit & growing weed.

You can go anywhere the bear goes, although You should wait until i it has finished and gone away.

“See? I told you that bears did it in the woods!”
