When I was a little nipper, we lived on the Columbia basin where the main crops were tumbleweeds and sage brush.
I had a dog that was part Chihuahua, part Great Dane, with a little stepladder thrown in.

More often than not, I would find myself inside a small culvert pipe that ran under the highway. Sure, Dad told me that we could have a flash flood if it rained in the mountains, but that was pretty hard to believe. I suppose I should have wondered why the pipe was half filled with sand.

There was just enough room to crawl forward, forget trying to back out.
I was half-way through the pipe when my stupid dog decided to meet me face-to-face. The problem here is that dogs can’t backup at all, something about how their legs are put together.

I spent most of that day having my face licked by a mutt, who somehow didn’t grasp the gravity of our situation. About dinner time, someone noticed I hadn’t been around for a while and formed a search party. Sometime after dark Dad stopped laughing long enough to get a rope and pull me out.

The moral to this story might be (to stay out of culvert pipes) or (it’s doubtful a goldfish would get in your face).

But, I like to believe the real message is: (it may seem like I’m lost, but I know where I am).

Dad-Burn-It, Rick......didn't you learn to stay out of that culvert? Still, I'm glad you got out OK this time.
