Graf #3

Things I see on my side of the bed
A field & Stream magazine
A pair of slippers
A pair of shoes
Gun cleaning kit for riffles and 45 cal. Handguns
A dirty pair of socks, a shirt, shorts, a really dirty pair of work shorts and a shirt, and not so dirty Carhartt sweatshirt
A sleeping bag rated for -30 degrees
5 ice fishing traps
A Benjamin pellet gun
A 45 cal. Smith & Wesson hand gun, in its case, and a full clip nearby.
And a bedside table with a basket just full of good stuff
A blue folder full of worship songs, with words and guitar chords
A “ read the bible in a year”
A father’s day card
L.L Bean LED hat
A blue pocket knife, a 10mm and 8 mm combination wrench, 2 fire balls, a bunch of keys, a box of pellets, used earplugs, handful of change, a zip tie and a movie stub for Wall-E

This guy is obviously does not take care of anything he might need at some point in his life. He empties his pockets and throws what is in them in a basket beside his bed, why not just throw all the extra change in a can, or throw away the movie stub and used earplugs in the trash? I bet his wife just loves his nasty stinky work clothes stinking up their bed room, hey numbskull walk them Twenty feet to the Laundry room. He must take his families safety very seriously, and I am sure he sat his kids down and he must have shown them his gun and let them touch it so their curiosity would not take over and make them disobey their father. I am sure he explained to them why they should never touch or play with guns when their dad is not home. It is September, what does he think he is going to do with ice fishing traps and a -30 below sleeping bag? He has a hat with two LED lights in it? Well that is just cool and very useful. “Read the Bible in a year” I bet he has had that for three years and still has not fished it, I wonder if he ever will. It sounds like he as good intention but gets side tracked a little, or maybe he is just a little lazy. All I know is he needs to take care of his crap before his wife gets sick of it all and throws it all out for him.

You have icetraps in the bedroom in the summer, I have sparkplugs from a motorcycle I sold in 1996 on the bedtable. Sometimes life just doesn't work like it ought to....

This is a very generous graf, gives a lot to the reader in the way of explanations, detail, visuals--nice!
