Val. She would be a great accessory for you and Nully, to assist you in 'getting to know' Nully. An icebreaker, if you will.
A six pack and a smile???

Of note this time...in the 60 Years, those same nine service stations in todays' world would be charged and tried under our anti-trust/monopoly rules.
The Charles Kane, Jr., mentioned in the 70 Years Ago section is the real estate salesman who helped me purchase my home here. The way the young bear was handled was common in rural areas back in those times. My Mother tells of when they lived in the Delta-Montrose area of Colorado that their cousins caught a young bear and raised it--it wrestled with them, and they finally sold it to a traveling show.
I also thought it interesting in the 70 Years ago to see that banks out here, in the boondocks faced the same problems which banks in general in that era faced and did what government regulations required in that circumstance.
I'm not certain--maybe some of you military fellas could help out here--in the 1980s there is mention of the Battleship Arizona.....is it possible this is the USS Arizona that was dealt its death blow at Pearl Harbor?
As usual, I find the words chosen by the newspaper to write an article interesting....especially in the 90 Years ago. And naturally, the wimmenfolk back then were unpaid helpmates to their husbands!
And, wouldn't we all like to know just how successfuly the CURFEW law was 100 years ago! Knowing discipline of years gone past, I daresay it was adhered to much more than today.
Just a guess, but anything with the word "Thong" would probably be acceptable.
In progress. Already had two separate scuzbuckets ask if they could move in. *sigh*
Told the second one "Not NO, but F NO! Then he started in with, "I got a job and I pay my rent..." So I said "Maybe I didn't make myself clear. If the Archangel Gabriel came down and wanted to stay in my garage, I'd say NO!".
I think he got it...
I hate it when that happens...
The same. It still bleeds/weeps oil into the limpid waters of Pearl Harbor.
