***Lehman’s Hardware Store*** Enjoyable site, a bit short on specifics; I imagine they prefer you get a catalogue. As a kid after WWII I lived in a house in Kansas with a hand pump next to the kitchen sink; no running water but we did get a bathtub, had to heat the water on the stove and carry it to the tub. We thought we were real up town. We did not have a road to the house; what for? A railroad track ran through the front yard... always being told not to play near the tracks. The nearest house was down the tracks beside the 'highway'; they got one of those televisions with the picture tube facing upwards and you watched it on a mirror. I couldn't imagine why anyone would want such a thing. We had a gander that chased me around the yard mercilessly. 😐 It really wasn't such a bad life... We did have electricity. It was up in the mountains North of Chattanooga in the '80s that I lived three years without electricity, no phone, no neighbors (except that moonshine bootlegger down the hollow.) I was recovering from 20 years in Boston and NYC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob, have you ever considered writing your memoirs? Or even as short stories? You have led a fascinating life and you already are a writer. Please consider!

Air Force 1 is currently escorting AF2 (Mike Pence is on AF2, AF2 is the plane shown behind AF1) back to washington DC. Very odd to see, wonder what the nature of this emergency entails? Undisclosed situation in the world somewhere that may need the VP's attention? #trump #pence pic.twitter.com/pGLe0zVosG— Tribunal Report ⚖ (@TribunalReport) July 2, 2019

Sorry about the size...hard to see otherwise.

Thanks, lj. I have four books published on line now... I don't seem to make the sales connection. Of course one keeps trying. Occasionally I hear that people think I am lying about my experiences. I understand - but I don't like it; it was just a different age, hard to understand in today's milieu. I had to live some rough times, wasn't always a saint, but I learned that life is what you make it.

I grew up never knowing my father; imagine my relief when I found Jesus and discovered that I had had a Father all along! :^D

Days like today I really feel age catching up... sigh.
