Truman, you sound like you live in a place where bluebirds sing, there's a whiskey spring, and bank tellers hand you their car keys..... :)

Well, you can;t go fishin' in a whiskey spring.  ;D

The other part of my story was when I got to the office with the biscuit I also dropped off my only piece of mail for the day: and box with red flowers on the outside sent to me, or current resident, from the pharmacy chain CVS. It contained a femine hygene product.  :o

I sat it on the desk and told them they would get a kick out of my mail, and left. Before I got in the car I could hear thier piels of laughter.  :laugh:

Truman, I love reading your stories.
I feel like I was there with you. I guess it helps being from the same area. I'm going to have to get you and my cousin together one of the times you go up there. I think she'd love you!
Y'all would be good friends.
It helps to read your words sometimes and quench the homesickness I sometimes feel. I guess you can take the boy out of the mountains but you can never get the moutains out of the boy!

I told them to stand on the 7's and take a deep breath.

:)   Yeah, I giggled at that line too !!
When you put people in charge of the government who are committed to proving that it doesn't work, you can be sure that they will cause it to not work.

I wish i could go to Alberta!


Canada has a great appeal IMO. Idk...after Bowling for Columbine, i think it's peaceful there.

It is deffinalty a different place, there is this whole absence of....something when I've been there before. Just to know you are standing o ground that has nothing to do with Washington, the IRS, Homeland security and the all prevasive feeling of entitlement.

You ever wonder what Jack was doing out on that back road when his tire went flat?

I have. I've always wondered if he was coming back from one of his Mexico trips. Then again he could have been coming back from a rodeo show or something. As a rodeo man himself, I suppose he went to see those shows from time to time.
