Agnes by Tony Cochran for January 08, 2022

Remember, if you’re skydiving and the parachute fails, you have the rest of your life to plan your next move.

How the hell can they walk through that deep snow???

BTW, I wonder when is Agnes’ birthday, and will she just be getting socks, like on Christmas.

if you smoke while skydiving with scissors your life might be somewhat shorter than anticipated…

Smoking: never do that. Skydiving: give it a try. Running with scissors: not in school, please

Quit smoking. Best thing you can do to build character

Trout’s mom has been there,done that, repeatedly…..

Hard to run with scissors in snow that deep.

I’ve done everything except skydiving and I’m still alive. Don’t know why, and a few times I’ve wondered how some of the things I’ve done haven’t killed me,. Just a minor example but i was driving down the road one day as a teenager in an “alleged” car.. (late 1980’s and the car was a ‘71) when the gas tank fell off the car. Obviously car stopped immediately, but no spark or explosion despite the leaking gas. Another time, same car, drove into a garage to get some repair work done. This garage had a pit in the floor, I think it was for working on big trucks that couldn’t go on a hoist and I drove over top of the pit without realizing it. Just barely kept my tires enough on the ground that my car didn’t drop into the pit, an inch or two further over and “bye-bye”. Lots of other things that should have killed me before and after those little life incidents too.

It all depends on the desired outcome.

Trout and her mom have apparently had some interesting conversations, but at the end of it all her mom appears to be of the “some things you have to learn for yourself” school of thought.

Oh, and it should be “running,” not “run,” but at least a minor grammar error isn’t life-threatening.

I love how their shoes break through the snow hahaha
