Usually hunting or fishing; either way it spells trouble for someone or something. 🙂 Last one was December maybe?

From last week:

> Quick story - I was standing around during the visitation time before the funeral service proper, looking at all the flower arrangements, when I noticed one with some really pretty yellow roses. Upon closer inspection, I saw a [stinkbug](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_marmorated_stink_bug) on one of the roses. My first thought was, “There’s Unk, checking to see who showed up for his funeral!”. And after I promised to be nice at the funeral…

Short version: when Uncle Kopek died, him being of service to the Air Force before there was such a thing, he got a military send-off. The honor guard from Dover asked to video it all for training purposes which made me and a cousin literally laugh out loud. We could hear Sarge’s voice saying “Damn kids – here I am my last minutes above ground and they STILL can’t train these snots without my help!”  
Just got back from co-workers service. It wasn’t my kinda one but it was right for the time and place. The deacon officiating broke the 5-minute-funeral and people sort of scattered. There is talk of a memorial service in the future once some scabs form but we shall see. Been here, done this ---- I understand.
