"Just wait till they get over the rookery," said Richard. "The rooks will go ape."Sure enough as the buzzards drifted over the rookery twenty or so ro...ks rose and two went to sort out the intruders. They were very aggressive but the buzzards seemed totally unfazed: rising with a tilt of their wings or slipping sideways away from the angry rooks."They're not worried at all," marvelled Annette."No. They've got them taped." Wow! They're so graceful." Aren't they? It's like watching miniature. Ann took out the third ship while I prepared to repel an attack which was already forming up. I waited until they had gotten ready and every man was standing. At that point, I began firing my LMG. Ann picked up her LMG and joined me in the fun. We tried to miss the horses as kind of a present to the local Indians. It looked to me like we killed or seriously wounded over 90% of the Spaniards. The few we had not killed or wounded had started running away as soon as they saw the tracers heading. But I’ll get to that part in a minute...... “I’m not from St. Louis, Tom. I’m from the Manhattan Borough of New York City. The Lower East Side of Manhattan to be more exact. The baddest place in America, if you’re a young lad born there, then orphaned at age twelve.“Don’t get me wrong, I had choices and I made the easiest one for me. At the time, I thought it was the only one. I made my living on the streets after my father and mother died within a year of each other. Mother died of pneumonia. I told him about our ‘discovery’ and he suggested we just cap the line out of the house and use the ‘cleanout’ to dump our waste into.I realized if we moved the footprint West about 120’ the tank would then be 30’ clear of the footprint! It still wouldn’t be centered, but, there was plenty of room to do that and we could then move the footprint back North about halfway from where we now had it and closer to our ‘ideal’ location.We did a third layout and it looked good. It also played well since.
