''' ‘Thuper Bowl Thunday’....
As my old buddy Jack C. would’a sed if they’d had the Super Bowl ‘way back then.which they didn't 'n which really has nuthin’ t’do with the present time....
It is a beautiful very Spring is sprung-like day here in Ol Fair Oaks....shorts ‘n tee-shirt weather....a few early blossoms, the paper-whites mostly, ‘n some confused roses at one of my neighbors....a few geraniums here ‘n there....
s’kinda funny if you stop ‘n think about it....
cold ‘n snow back East, a long, long winter...a cold front out’a the frozen north sweeps in north of California ‘n across the whole country ‘n meets up with some really unhappy weather coming off the Atlantic ‘n becomes one of the coldest, most destructive winters since we been keeping records.....’course, back in them good ole days of yore it wouldn’t have cost quite so much...we didn’t have that many roads ‘n streets to clean ‘n not nearly so many people to worry about ‘n the people weren’t so dependent on the big power companies anyhow.....fewer people, smaller homes, wood ‘n coal fires for heat ‘n lots of people still had ‘n used regularly, kerosene lamps for light....sounds pretty damn Spartan t’day, don’t it? Them good ole days of mem’ry sound more like good ole daze of mem’ry lapse.......
