that twenty year old with the young wife and money remindes me of
that gal
i met in vfw one friday night in rowan county --married three times
and
still living in single wide- she drove forklift at gp plan and was
hoping
to get promoted to vice president of a multinational company any
time
soon---glad to report she was good at something


tried Lucinda Williams again late late last night [essence] and
still find
her a monotone with a small vocabuly---if you want to hear the best
instradentialist living seak into a Yanni concert ( sort of like a
AARP
group] and watch Carron Rice attack the violn---loveit when she
takes a
pause -looks at her instrument like where did that come from???

sorry to read in the Sunday times that there is only one sardene
packing
plant left in US--[use to be 67] but with more old folks and the
health
service now saying that we should eat sardines rather than brocoli
and
caudeflower [too much frolic acid] this will aid the internationaql
trade
agreement as the best sardines are hand packed sskinless ones from
portigal--wonder how that biothecnical woman would like to spend her
days
skinning sardines and changing the twins diappers herself?

Reading new collection of fishing stories{gone fishing] by William
Tapply--really enjoyed one where he finds guy in C@R stream breaking
necks
of fish and slipping them into his vest--he concludes --when he got
back to
hid truck ,he found all four tires flat.

better end as pbs has three hour show this evening on history of the
appalachians----sure they will have more noise about the country
folks who
lost their land and homes as dams were built to provide electricity
than
story of how thee creek indians lost their land to the gold seeking
white
men!!!

King Oscar is catching those really small sardines again. There
starting to show up in Safeway. Cross packed sardinge have been hard to
find. Trader Joes has a particulally good buy on them. TJs has good
deals on wine and cheese as well. It's picnic time here.
