A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, What am I doing? I'm too old for this, and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.

I once had the opportunity to try peyote, and I will tell you what that is some really neat stuff. Also makes you see neat stuff. I wish I knew where to get some more of it, I also recently learned that wild psychedelic mushrooms actually grow in Pennsylvania so next year I'm going shroom hunting.

Do you have a fire place for all that wood? You better get out there early in the morning get it done and over with. I was out today at 1pm and I thought I was going to faint. Never saw the tem today but I know it got in the 100's.

Great memories of my childhood. The clothesline to me at the time sounded like a pheasant . Sheets were the best on the line.

Oh, deary dear...

Back in The Olden Days, before you squirts were even a lascivious idea in your old man's groin... A washday job that was sorta fun was putting the sheets out in the sun on the ironing spreader.

"Ironing spreader? Wozzat?" y'all say...

Back in The Day, there was no such invention as "wrinkle-free" sheets, where your mamas could just dangle the sheets over the line with a clothespin... that was not an option back then.

So us kids would carefully get out the "sorta" folding light framework. When erected in the back yard, it looked like an inverted "V". The framework was outlined with hundreds of sewing needles.

There was one way, and one way ONLY to get the sheets on to the frame: It took three kids. (Probably why I was born.)

One kid (me, yougest) in the middle, and one at either end at the bottom of the frame. The clean sheet would be in the form of a roll. We would unroll about a foot more than we needed, and carefully push the cloth into the needles along the bottom edge at our three "stations".

Then my much-older siblings would completely unroll the sheet to immediately attach each upper corner to the frame.

My job was the bottom row of pins. You did a kinda pull-and-pin, pull-and-pin until the whole sheet was taut. Then we'd do the other side.

Getting the sheets off was so easy, I never got to do it. But I enjoyed watching.
