What is "the great American novel"?
Sure, I don't disagree with that. I can't compete with your Hemingway bona fides but one of my favorite undergrad classes was a Hemingway independent study I put together for my American Studies major. Basically I'd read a Hemingway novel every week or two, then go have coffee with my advisor...- Sheltowee

I'd argue The Nick Addams Stories are Hemingway's most "American" works.- Sheltowee

Best meat analog for pack training?
lol, might be tricky to explain to a game warden in a non-bear baiting state. I like sand in a roll top dry bag like these...- Sheltowee

Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family
Hmmm: https://texashuntlodge.com/hunt-packages/ostrich-hunt/ Make it sporting and try to work one in over decoys? Bearded Butchers have a couple pretty good videos on DIY biltong. You might check that out if you're trying to make some of your own ostrich-tong.- Sheltowee

What is "the great American novel"?
Huckleberry Finn, Moby Dick or To Kill a Mockingbird for me. Might also throw in Catch-22 by Heller, The Naked and the Dead by Mailer or Invisible Man by Ellison. Huge, huge fan of Hemingway but none of his novels are set in the US. No Roth, no Salinger and for the love of God, no Faulkner.- Sheltowee

Pronghorn Liver
Roughly follow Hank’s boudin recipe (https://honest-food.net/cajun-boudin-sausage-recipe/), then mix in a pound or two of shredded habanero cheddar. Make balls using a small ice cream scoop, chill them on a wire rack over a tray in the fridge for an hour or two, then flour, egg-dip and bread...- Sheltowee

Pronghorn Liver
It is fantastic if you get it cooled down fast enough. Made a batch of habanero cheddar boudin balls with part of my last one:- Sheltowee

Lost Dog
Was sitting at my desk in my home office yesterday on a video call and felt a dog-shaped object scoot under the desk and curl up by my feet. Our old Britt used to do that all the time before he passed but our new one only does that rarely. It was starting to storm so I figured she just wanted...- Sheltowee
