Sarudzo yangu yakasimbiswa kuti Gumiguru pandakasungwa paMall yePentagon panguva yeMobe Kuratidzira, ndakazvuzvurudzwa mumutsetse kana mauto ehondo, akarohwa nemauto eU.S. uye ndokukandirwa mungoro yekuendeswa kujeri remubatanidzwa kuOccoquan, VA ku kumirira kumiswa pamberi pekudarika uye kuramba mhosva dzekusungwa.
Asi izvo zvinokumbira iwo mubvunzo: Sei ndakave anopesana nehondo, anopesana-nekugadzwa muratidziri apo vamwe vazhinji vezera rangu vakabvuma kunyoreswa ndokuenda kunorwa muhondo iyoyo, kana kazhinji, vakafunga nzira dzakangwara dzekudzivisa kurwa. kana kunzvenga iyo dhizaini (ichiti pfupa rinobuda seTrump, kana kusaina kuNational Guard uye kutarisa "hapana kutumirwa kune dzimwe nyika" saGW Bush, ichizviti Conscientious Objector chinzvimbo, kurasikirwa nehuremu hwakawanda, uchiita kunge uri "fag," kutizira ku Canada, kana chero zvakashanda).
Ini ndinofungidzira kuti ndinofanira kutanga naamai vangu, anotapira "mugadziri wemba" akaita makore maviri ekoreji kudzidza hunyanzvi hwevanyori muChapel Hill uye akashanda achizvikudza seNavy WAVE munguva yeWWII (kazhinji achiita hofisi mabasa muunifomu muBrooklyn, NY Navy Yard).

Akazvarwa (chaiko) uye akaberekerwa mune hombe yemapango (yaimbove imba yekutamba) kunze kweGreensboro, NC, aive wekare "Tom mukomana," aigara achibata mhuka, achirera vanotsoropodza nherera, nezvimwe. Aida zvinhu zvese zvipenyu uye aidzidzisa izvozvo kwandiri nemunin'ina wangu nemunin'ina wangu.
Akatidzidzisa kubata matatya, nyoka, uye mapuruguru, makonye, nezvimwewo, maitiro ekudzidza nezvawo nekuadzichengeta kwenguva pfupi, uyezve nezve hunhu hwekurega achienda, futi.
Amai vaive nehunyanzvi hunoshamisa pakasvika pakurera mhuka diki, ingave yaive imwe shiri yemwana yakadonha kubva mudendere, ichiri isina mapapiro uye yakatarisa sechibereko, kana madiki madiki macarcoon akaunzwa kwaari nemumwe munhu akarova amai nemota. uye takavawana vakagumbatirwa padivi penzira (takavasimudza semhuka dzinovaraidza, tichirega tamest ichigara mumba nekitsi dzedu neIrish Setter).
Ini ndaive nepfupi-yemakore gumi nemaviri ekubata nerumwe pfuti Remington .12 pfuti iyo neimwe nzira ndakakunda pane yangu mainjiniya baba baba uye amai vangu vaisada kunditendera nditenge nemari yangu ndega. Nepfuti iya, uye mhango-imwe uye mamwe mabara andakakwanisa kutenga ndoga kubva kuchitoro chemuno, ini nevamwe vangu vane pfuti shamwari dzezera rakafanana taishandisa kukanganisa masango, kunyanya kupfura miti, kuyedza kuzvicheka pasi nemutsara wekurova pamusoro pematanda madiki ane mapako, asi pano neapo zvakanangana neshiri. Ndinoreurura nekurova vashoma ndiri kure, ndisina kumbovawana mushure mekuvaona vachidonha. Yakanga iri nyaya yekuratidzira hunyanzvi hwangu pakuvavarira pane kuvauraya, izvo zvaiita kunge zvisingaite. Izvi ndezve kusvikira ini ndamboenda kunovhima grouse vhiki pamberi Rokutenda pamwe neshamwari yangu yakanaka Bob ane mhuri yaive nepfuti dzinoverengeka. Chinangwa chedu pakubuda ikoko kwaive kupfura shiri dzedu pachedu uye kudzibikira zororo rekushandisa isu pachedu. Takapedza maawa tisingaone chero grouse, asi ini ndakazopukuta imwe. Ndakaridza pfuti zvine hasha payakasimuka uye tumapureti tushoma twakarova yakarova pasi asi ikamhanyira musango. Ndakamhanya ndichitevera, ndoda kurohwa nemusoro wangu, uyo mukufara akafuridzira kwake kwese kune shiri iri kutiza pandanga ndichimhanya ndichitevera. Nerombo rakanaka kwandiri akandisuwa zvese neshiri.
Ndakawana grouse rangu rakakuvara pakupedzisira mubrashi uye ndikaribata, ndichisimudza mhuka iri kunetseka. Maoko angu akakurumidza kubuda ropa kubva mumaronda ekubuda ropa akakonzerwa nepfuti yangu. Ini ndaive nemaoko angu kutenderedza mapapiro emhuka saka yaisakwanisa kurwisa asi yaive ichipenga ichitarisa tarisa. Ndakatanga kuchema, ndakatya nekurwadziwa kwandakaita. Bob akauya, agumbukawo. Ini ndanga ndichikumbira, "Toitei? Chii chatinoita? Kutambura! ” Hapana kana mumwe wedu anga aine hushingi hwekumonyorora kahuro kavo, izvo chero murimi angadai akaziva maitiro ekuita ipapo.
Panzvimbo iyoyo, Bob akandiudza kuti ndibvise grouse panze ndokuisa mugumo weputi yepfuti yake yakadzorerwa kumashure kwemusoro weshiri ndokudhonza chikungiso. Mushure mekudaidzira "blam!" Ndakazviwana ndakabata mutumbi wakadzikama wemutumbi weshiri usina mutsipa kana musoro.
Ndakauya nekuuraya kwangu kumba, amai vangu vakabvisa minhenga ndokuigocha ini yekutenda, asi handina kukwanisa kuidya. Kwete chete nekuti yaive izere nemutobvu kupfura, asi nekuda kwekunzwa kwekuzvipa mhosva kwakakura. Handina zvakare kupfura kana nemaune kuuraya chimwe chinhu chipenyu.
Kwandiri iyo grouse kuvhima yaive shanduko yekuchinja; kusimbiswa kwemaonero andakakudzwa naAmai vangu kuti zvipenyu zvinoyera.
Ini ndinofungidzira rakatevera guru simba pandiri raive revanhu mimhanzi. Ini ndaive ndakabatikana zvikuru segitare uye mutambi wevanhu veAmerica. Kugara kuguta reyunivhesiti reStorrs, CT, (UConn), uko maonero ezvematongerwo enyika kwaive kutsigira kodzero dzevanhu, uye kupokana nehondo, uye iko kufurira kweVaruki, Pete Seeger, Trini Lopez, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, nezvimwewo, zvaive zvakadzama, uye kuve kwerunyararo kwakangoitika zvakasarudzika munzvimbo iyoyo. Kwete kuti ini ndaive wezvematongerwo enyika pazera rangu rekutanga.
