Tolerance

By Mike Hall, October 13, 2026

Fishermen and women are known for being a very patient bunch.

Maybe even tolerant if one considers that, when catching a sucker instead of a rainbow, we treat the sucker respectfully and set the ugly thing back to his home.

When you see the picture of this magpie, it almost strikes one as regal…but not as much so as the fifty elk and large deer spotted today.

I do believe a better word could be chosen after seeing this fellow’s cousin on the road to the river.

Truly, on the road… feasting on a skunk while proving that this is the most tolerant creature on Earth.
