Download or read book The Pelican s Briefs written by Mark R Joneschiet and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06-24 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come celebrate a town, Klamath Falls, Oregon—official population 18,538 (people, that is—the cows you will have to count yourself)! Join the author in a homespun journey through the past in a town that is the epitome of all hometowns. Located on a route that is the shortest distance between Los Angeles and Seattle, this town seems inocuous enough, however, a peak beneath its exterior reveals enough oddities, quirks and interesting characters to fuel the tabloids for centuries. This rendering of the author's memoirs offers shameless name-dropping of well-known personalities, recounts of events that have local, near-legandary status (among those involved at least) and some actual history that didn't quite make it into the history books. Fade into the past to an era devoid of terms such as "Duuuude", "Sweeeeet", and "Da Bomb!" Words that will characterize this world are more like "Golly", "Gosh", "Gee Whiz", and "Shucky-Darn." Let a mildly embarrassed pelican guide you on this tongue-in-cheek and often, ironic visit to a place that isn't too far from everyone's growing up experience.

Download or read book Another Breed of Currituck Duck Hunters written by Travis Morris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People called Currituck County a sportsman's paradise back when the skies clouded over with ducks and the waters teemed with fish. The game is more elusive these days and the hunting methods more sophisticated, but native Travis Morris shows through these stories that the thrill of it all is just as intense. From a four-year-old boy on his first hunt with his grandfather to an eighty-two-year-old woman who still loves to shoot her supper, Morris highlights both the heart and humor of the sportsman. There's a three-strand cord that will forever bind Currituck gunners: passion for the hunt, love of the outdoors and respect for the dangers of open, shallow waters.

Download or read book Consider the Birds written by Debbie Blue and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From biblical times to today, humans have found meaning and significance in the actions and symbolism of birds. We admire their mystery and manners, their strength and fragility, their beauty and their ugliness—and perhaps compare these very characteristics to their own lives in the process. Though admired today, the birds of Scripture are largely unseen and underappreciated. From the well-known image of the dove to the birds that gorge on the flesh of the defeated “beast” in Revelation, birds play a dynamic part in Scripture. They bring bread to the prophets. They are food for the wanderers. As sacrifices, they are the currency of mercy. Highlighting 10 birds throughout Scripture, author Debbie Blue explores their significance in both familiar and unfamiliar biblical stories and illustrates how and why they have represented humanity across culture, Christian tradition, art, and contemporary psyche. With these (usually) minor characters at the forefront of human imaginations, poignant life lessons illuminate such qualities as desire and gratitude, power and vulnerability, insignificance and importance—even as readers gain a better understanding that God’s mysterious grace is sometimes most evident in His simplest of creatures.
