    Again my choice came down to grasshoppers or butterflies.  I settled on the pink-headed grasshopper.  Watching all the grasshoppers today, I was reminded of growing up as a child in Texas.  My dad would want to go fishing and would send us out to collect grasshoppers for bait.  We would gather up enough to fill a small Parkay tub--after being distracted by our own pursuit of horny toads--and then Dad would take us to the Concho River for fishing.  We were never very patient--we would talk, giggle, throw rocks, and ask a million times if he was finished and if we could go home.  He would quietly try to do some fishing, but would eventually relent and take us home.  I wonder now if he ever slipped off to fish alone.
