I passed through Olney on my way home from Wichita Falls -- all of it new-to-me country, and thought of our late friend Randall Weems. Even considered stopping to look for his grave but the cemetery was a vast forest of granite and marble and I had miles to go before I sleep. Still makes me sad how he died and I miss his commentary, especially regarding hunting the javelina.

I hope his family is well.

Interesting to think about.

My wife and I were talking about Randall today. We had a great time hunting with him….he is missed!

Thanks Bill.

I had recently sold him a scope.

They were planning on coming out here and looking

me up in a couple months. Terrible shame.

Last I heard his wife as working in the Olney

store Bill.

I'm just going to guess:

Mr Weems lived a full life. Worked and retired, hunted and fished, married and loved. Mr Weems read and understood, Mr Weems studied and contemplated his studies.
I'm certain Mr Weems life wasn't finished when he left this Earth, his work wasn't done. But he did leave. Sorry to go? Probably. Are we sorry he went? Definitely.
I do wish we had more control over our lives, I wish we had more authority over our destiny but it doesn't look like we do.
I'm certain Mr Weems is in Heaven with Jesus, (there is no other choice.) and I will sit and visit with Randall soon enough.

Scott, your post is a little baffling, but I agree, Randall is in the presence of the One Who Gave Us All -- and loves us no matter what stinkers we are (at least in my case).

You would have froze if you were up here yesterday

I miss hearing Randall's input as well.

Rabbit, we are at 8 here this morning, and only got up to 14 yesterday. At least we'll see some sun.
