Day 755: Gulls and ducks

I had to visit a new locale to have fresh photography material, so we drove down by the lake.  The morning was sunny, but by the time we went out, gray clouds again filled the sky.  This cold wave and the winds by the lake are so intense that I feel sorry for the birds.   We discovered they have plenty of food.  Frozen fish, caught in the ice, are being plucked apart by hungry gulls.

The field sanitation chapter is coming along very well.  I want it to be really funny as well as informative so I've devised a few rules as guidelines for going potty in the woods and then added a story to illustrate each rule.  The serious stuff is at the end.

Although a few need rewording to be consistent, the rules so far are:
1. If you gotta go, go!
2. Know where to go!
3. Know where your whistle is! (Check your whistle)
4. Who's got the trowel?  (Maybe Deploy the trowel!)
5. Hug a tree!
6. Just when you thought you were alone...
