I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend.  I didn't have an article last week, because I didn't want to bother people when they had company and me and the Easter Bunny had other things to do.

Dick, Kyle and I joined my mom, Mary Huddleston; my brothers Mike and Larry and a niece Kerri Bayne and her family for lunch in Lamar on Easter Sunday.

Kelvin, Amy, Alex and Mikayla Schmidt and Freda Schmidt were Easter Sunday dinner guests in the home of Bryan and Dorcas Berggren.

My first wife came from a ranching family ‘way back up in the hills of California and had a cousin, Ted, who was a hounddog man.

I talked my way into hunting with him, of course.

All went well until we were on the way home and a badger ran across the road and dove into a large culvert pipe.

“Oh wow!” said Ted, “Let’s get him!
He released most of the hounds and they plugged the culvert pipe at both ends with bawling insults. In the dead center of the pipe was a snarling badger.
