How I loved those Burma-Shave signs! Would read them and giggle and giggle. Didn’t take much to amuse us on a trip. Hot weather, no air-conditioning, mother would distract us by having us keep watch for another sign.

Delaware, sure glad you tried the dried squash for us, and doubly glad it was so good. Love chips and dips, so this will help keep the waistline down. Will be trying some soon if it will just stop raining. First time in 77 years that I can remember having a wood fire every morning for a week in July! Pulled a few weeds yesterday at the edge of garden. Weeds came up with a clump of mud and the hole it left immediately filled with water.

The price of hay for our minny horses will be exorbitant when and if the farmers do any haying.

Yes, I can imagine it will be.

Many things will be higher priced, due to the weather.

We are getting 70 mile an hour winds and flash flooding, right now it is hitting about 30 miles due north of me and I am hoping that it does not hit me, as it is so bad a storm, the federal alert system has been tracking it and giving alerts on the radio all night.

I have even turned around and driven back to the start to get the first part of one that I missed till the middle.

How about the Mail Pouch chewing tobacco signs painted on barns...
