Weather Turning

God, it’s nice to get lucky once in a while – coming in on Wednesday night for my first duck hunting of the year and getting to the Delta right when the weather is turning cold and the wind is turning out of the north. Hopefully I’ll have some ducks, as I’m bringing my future father-in-law and future brother-in-law down from North Carolina and they’ve never been duck hunting before. Damned kneebooters. :)

Didn't know there were any ducks up here worth shooting. We lease land in Aylett which has a slough off the Mattaponni, and I've been to the WMA on the Chickahominy, but I just get too damned frustrated sitting out for hours and only seeing a dozen ducks or so. I think all we've killed all year (6 of us) are about a dozen woodies, 2 mallards and a black duck.

I was always partial to the fried chicken at the Double Quick in Lexington. But the BP station at Cary and Meadow in Richmond (aka the Murder Mart) has some mighty fine bird, too.

East Lexington "Store" (on the left side of the bridge heading into town) or Red Front Grocery were the ticket in my day - used to stock up on Wiedemans there. That may be before your time though.

the chicken on a stick is the best chicken i have ever ate , as for the cold buds thats a big 10 4 . but i was wondering if they were still making tamales at the white front .

the ducks are really up here but mostly on the new river. we get so many black ducks we have to shoo them off. but, the geese are really plentiful . :D

The guy that owned the white front died. I'm not sure if they are open still or not.

I was referring to the Double Quick in Lexington, MS, but I know Jim and East Lex on the Maury quite well - got all my beer and porn from him. Red Front was closed by the time I got to campus; the building was still there (it's a music shop last I saw), but White Front on Main was still open (closed now and is some kind of health food shop). Could get kegs of Olympia at White Front for $29.

When were you in Lexington?
