FORGIVE ME,--- BUT IF ANYONE HAS SEEN -- OR BEEN----ANYONE CHOKINGG-- TRYING TO GET SOME AIR IN THEIR LUNGS, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE VACCINE- WHICH APPARENTLY KEEPS YOU OUT OF THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF CHOKING..MY FATHER WAS ALWAYS TERRIFIED OF CHOKING. -- FORTUNATELY HE JUST NODDED AWAY WITH HIS 5PM SCOTCH IN HIS HAND....--
MY SISTERS AND I WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO FIND AN X-NYC POLICEMAN TO LIVE WITH FATHER...-FATHER HAD PARKINSONS ... AND WAS A DISASTER WITH SOUP, BUT PUT THAT 5PM SCOTCH IN HIS HAND, AND HE NEVER SPILLED A DROP OF THAT.--
I SEE THAT TRAILER HE INVENTED 10 TIMES A DAY...-- A RIGHT TRIANGLE WHICH ROTATES TO THE GROUND BECOMING THE RAMP...- I HAVE A PICTURE ON TETHE WALL IF TEH FIRST TRAILER-- WITH THE 1945 CARS IN TH BACKGROUND. I REMEMBER HOW EXCITED HE WAS WHEN THE 2 GREAT BIG PIECES OF IRON ARRIVED FROM PENNA FOR HIM TO START ON.--- I ALSO REMEMBER HIS ADVICE-- INVENT SOMETHING LIKE FLY SWATTERS, IT WOULD BE A LOT LESS COMPLICATED-- ...- FREIGHT CHARTGES WILL KILL YOU ON THE BIG STUFF..... HE NEVER MADE A PENNY ON IT-- SOME COMPANY CHANGED TEH HINGE AND "BROKE" THE PATTON, BUT HE HAD A GRAND TIME FOOLING AROUND WITH ALL SORTS OF THINGS.-- LIKE CUTTING UP RUBBER TIRES IN OUR BASENMENT AND BOLTING THEM TOGETHER SO AN ONION FARMER CUSTOMER OF DAD'S COULD CROSS THE ROAD BETWEEN HIS FIELDS WITH A TRACTOR THT HAD METAL " TRACTS" NOT WHEELS... . -- THOSE SAME RUBBER THINGS WERE ON THE HUGE. EXCAVATOR OF MASTERSON.S THAT WORKED ON OIUR DUMPSTER. PUDDLE.
AND DIDN'T I JUST TALK ABOUT FREIGHT CHARGES YESTERDAY-- HOW WITH FEDEX. A BUNDLE OF. XXXYYYZZZ WAS $259.+2 WEEKS. AND 2 BUNDLES XXXYY AND YZZZ WERE $59 EACH. 3 DAYS....????-
--
NOW IT IS ABOUT TRUCKING IN GENRAL... THERRE IS A HUGE GAP IN THE PROCESS OF "GOODS TO MARKET" BETWEEN TEH ROADSIDE FARMERS MARKET WITH FRESH PRODUCE-- AND THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER FOR WHOLE FOODS WHICH BRAGS ABOUT FRESH FOOD--- FROM CHILE????
MY FRIEND LINDA---- (R.I.P. COUNTY RUN DANES IN MILTON N.Y. THE ONLY AKC DANE OWNER WHO WOULD LET ME USE HER STUD DOG--- THIS RESULTED IN MY SLEEPING ON HER LIVING ROOM FLOOR MANY TIMES.. BUT DURING THE DAY-- WITHOUT MUCH TO DO.... SHE TOOK ME TO HER FAMILY'S APPLE STORAGE "UNIT". MANY TIMES THE SIZE OF OUR INDOOR ARENA- COOLED TO A SPECIFIC TEMP-- AND I THINK NITROGEN WAS INVOLVED. I THINK THE APPLES IN THEER NEVER WENT BAD---
THE OTHER THING I LEARNED WAS THOSE LITTLE STICKERS ON EVERY APPLE OR ORANGE ETC. --- WITH THE NUMBERS-- I THINK HER FAMILY APPLE NUMBER WAS 4218-- I EVENTUALLY SAW HER NUMBER IN COSTCO 'S APPLE BIN. I FELT VERY WORLDLY KNOWING I HAD BEEN IN THEIR STORAGE UNIT;.
--
TO FURTHER COMMENTS ABOUT WHICH I KNOW NOTHING. -- I HAVE HEARD RUMERS OF THE "LETTUCE TRAIN" BRINGING THE SLALAD MAKINGS FROM CALIF TO BOSTON... THIS APPARENTLY WAS DONEIN BY THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY-
HOWEVER NEITHER ONE ADDRESSES TEH MISSISSIPPI RIVER. AND HOW MANY BRIDGES CROSS IT.
SO IN MY COVERED WAGON PULLED BY OXEN WITH A FET PANS HANGING OUT TH EREAR... I CAME TO THAT BIG BUNCH OF WATER. FLOWING LEFT- AND NOT HAVING A AA MAP=. OR GPS--- I DID NOT HAVE A CLUE SITTING THERE IN THE WOODS WHAT ALL THAT WATER WAS-- OR WEREE IT WENT.... I CAN NOT IMAGNE WHAT POSESSED ANYONE TO DECIDE THEY HAD TO GET ACROSS THAT -- WHY NOT JUST SETTLE RIGHT THERE AND SAVE ALOT OF WORK- OT SEND YOUR HUSBAND ACROSS ON HORSEBACK- AND HOPE ANOTHER HUSBAND EVETUALLY COMES ALONG... I HAVE ALOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SANITY OF RIVER CROSSINGS..
LIKE WHO WENT FROM BOSTON TO PHILLEDELPHIA TO SIGN ANYTHING??? TEH CONN RIVER ISN'TTOO BAD.. BUT TEH HUDSON IS A SIGNIFICANT BUNCH OF WATER TO GET OVER
I HAVE ANOTHE SERIOUS QUESTION.... ALL THOSE "OXEN". PULLING THOSE WAGONS FOR "SETTLERS". SOME OF THEM MUST HAVE BEEN BULLS- BECAUSE THAT WAS LONG BEFORE. BULLS CAME PACKAGED IN LITTLE VIALS TO BE DEPOSITED BY SOMEONE WITH A L---O---N---G. PLASTIC GLOVE.
I HAVE TO GIVE THE SETTLERS CREDIT---OR WHOEVER PROVIDED THE BULL WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
MAYBE YOU CAMERA PEOPLE SHOULD GOOGLE THAT... OXEN ARE ONE THING... BULLS ARE SOMETHING ELSE... OR MAYBE FOR THE CITY FOLK... OXEN HAVE NOTHING THAT BULLS HAVE 2 OF....
