      It was only a 4-pointer, and I say “only” to appease cynics who might otherwise demand an apology. Also, at 64 years old, I have far outdistanced the leniency, “He’s just a kid, he’ll get over it.” All I have in response is, “Oh no I won’t — and I’m

      At least he hoped that’s what they were.

      He had made that mistake with a grove of trees a few hours ago.

      Nope.

      He was right this time.

      They weren’t trees. They were moving.

      It had to be the Brown boys.

      Gus and Pete Brown.
