re: #24 Alouette

Doesn’t everyone have a self-righteous, nasty, narcissistic, asshole relative that your parents tell you, you HAVE TO BE NICE to, because a bunch of money might come your way someday?

And now you find out who’s getting that money.

Fuck.

I’m glad I don’t anymore. The last we had had 500 acres of Michigan Upper Peninsula farm land and cedar swamps. Prime whitetail country for us to hunt on when we got permission. Took a huge 7 pointer (3x4) +250 lbs buck myself in the oak grove. Well my Dad, Uncles, and Cousins who actually hunted took care of that land and Farm House for decades while the aunt and uncle who lived there seem to horde trash and cats.

Well when they were finally laid to rest, the will was read: all the non-hunting children who never visited them once got the land parceled off to them. Which they turned around and sold it to one guy outside the family in one package. I’m no longer bitter about it and the guy who bought the land is taking good care of it and is a decent guy. I look at it as a lesson to never kowtow to people who are looking to take advantage of your labor.
