Thinking Reed my Arse

Via Matthew Mullenix as Stephen Bodio's Querencia, we get this story from ESPN about a Florida community who's boys hone their football skills by running down rabbits on foot.

I'm put in mind of Khoisan hunters chasing kudu to exhaustion. It's an amazing physical accomplishment, but within the range of human possibility. We don't have to be weak.

And heaven help me. I prefaced an anecdote with "Via___ we get the/this story___"

I'm beginning to write like Jeff Cooper!
