Subj: Re: [Homestead] A Silly Historical  Question...


Thanks, April -
Every little bit of information helps to solve my mental mysteries.
I still can't help but associate with candy bars and little kids with  
big-eared hats on.
Pavlov would've had a good time with me.
Words are so wonderful. How did we ever progress beyond a grunt and an  ugh 
without them?

Mid-Mojave
Watching as my landlord snagged some of my firewood to lay out a  rear-view 
path for a friend of his who was backing up a tractor. Didn't help.  20' of 
wood fence now on the ground. I'll have free entertainment all  afternoon.
