In my police days we called them Alum Gypies, they traveled about pinting barn roofs, looked good till it rained, it then all came off. I use to say they could mak 20 gallons of alum paint out of one gallon. They would steal a nickle off a dead mans eye as well.
#334...Years ago, when I was in highschool, I took ill at school, and Mom came to get me, and as we were sitting at a traffic light in a rural area of east Tennessee, mid afternoon,
... a band.....literally a caravan of gypsies went past us.
Mom & I sat there bugeyed!!
