Letter to Ozzie Knesovich: Sheriff of Nottingham

From a concerned serf;

It is apparent that the Princes and Lords of his Majesties Chief prosecutors Rocky Treppeddii  (Janet Napolitano). and their minions and peons.,  have greedily shut off  their holdings,   Nay!,  Not too any of their friends.

But to the very serfs that inhabit and carefore His Majesties  and His Magisties land!

Shouting apoplectic from the ramparts THAT:

We may not:


1:   pursue game,and fowl
2:   catch of fish and slimy things .
3:   gather of food and medicinals.
4:   etc.

Neigh! The Very transit of the land.!

Jimmy Soul; Shouts my MANTRA..

Jimmy Soul:
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

REPUBLICANS and their needs



Special people deserve special treatment.  They deserve gated communities, charter schools, larger profits, sure things, no hindrances to their rape and plunder of the world and their community,  with special laws protecting them and enriching them..  They call themselves republicans and other guises.  I call them facists.  These people have the same attitude as facist regimes around the world.  Not only that, they have trained other armies and para-military groups around the world in their crafts and to ape american values and style.  America condemns genocide and then Southern Command trains its protege to follow its style,  evidenced in fallugja,iraq genocide.  They condemn "in law" torture.  and then practice it--claiming special previledge's.. and wrap themselves in our flag for protection.

The American people have a chance, to right some wrongs.  Justice Roberts has been moved to vote for the american people..  He has not given President Obama an election victory.  He has given the President and the american community a chance to control both houses of congress.  It is our time, our  chance our future to envision and build..  let us not relax, but work harder so this vision can come to be.

Rockys Training ??

i,m smart enough to know that labs are easy to train, very forgiving of mistakes and try hard to please their family. Labs rule the entire family and friends with devotion and lots of love for everyone.  rocky needed a new home.   The family ,broken up, kept him in an apartment .  He spent up to 10 hrs a day in a shipping crate.  He greeted me with that look, love and hope, "fired up and ready to go"*. 

I told his owner, "that rocky would never spend another day in his crate".  I promised rocky that i would take him for a walk everyday.  I have kept that promise. and the blessings have continued in the face of downers. 

At first we walked to Safeway, i was so slow,  rocky pulled, he was curious and smelled every bush (giving me a break).  I had to stop 3 times on a 6 block trip!  I bought a harness for him and a 25 foot tape leash ,to let him roam a bit,  and not drag me all over.  It became apparent that didn,t know anything about the real world.. or Even how to ride.  He drug me all over,  he,s jerked me off my feet twice. the problem had to solved.  One day i decided that if he pulled i would stop,  I didn,t care if it took 2 hours to walk 2 blocks., the pulling had to stop..  Rocky learned quickly that to get what he wanted, he had to stop pulling..  Gradually, his behavior has improved.  Of course in stores , coffee shops etc he has always been on best behavior.

When Rocky first came he was very anxious.  The first week he slept where i put my feet when i get out of bed.  Later he slept in the doorway of our bedroom- so he would know if i left.

 New Words:  The truth of the matter is that Rocky has trained me to be obedient, take him for a walk everyday, and feed him off my fork.  He took over the bottom of the bed a along time ago. I was afraid that he would get hit on the One Ways a block from the house.. Some how he never did.go again.  Instead he started running away to the neighbors fenced backyard.  I would drive the van over (200ft.) and load him up ,to go for his walk.  Later, i tried loading Rocky without a lease. I noticed he ran around the van twice before loading.. It is so much fun to watch him express his joy.  A couple of days after rocky,s fight, we walked one of our trails and it was all labs-a lab convention-6 labs brighteyes smiling facees--running around, happy to be together.  I realized then that there are only two kinds of dogs: Biters, and retrievers. (forgive my prejudice , you dachshund lovers) (nah don,t!) .

RAGE against the machine.

  I have it, bad,for a long time.  I didn,t relise i had it until the day at the bowling alley.  I think i was 12.   Two young police recruits came in and were throwing their weight around.  I didn,t like it. My neighbors in the Baptist Assembly Grounds across the street.  Suposedly we were invited over--but not really.  they had established a dump filling in a swamp,right between them and us...You remember the ramstads? Myra, Myrna,Carol,Doug MIke and bobby.   We were the ones that stole (according to you) your garden hose?  I,ll never forget you driving down our road to collect your hose.  We had tied it to a tree and were using it to tarzan off our railroad right-of-way driveway a 1/4 mile long.  You jumped out of your truck demanding your hose.  But before you did, you waanted to give it a try.  Just one time.

 I,m 68 now,i,ve had at least 68 belly laughs,remembering your fat ass sailing through the air--hose breaking.  We could hardly hide our glee!  The rage has continued without debate , all these years.

When i was 12,  I saw my support payment $12 dollars for each of us.  That's what the US gov,t thought  i was worth. and paid to discharge their duty to my father and mother.  That's what we were worth. No wonder the people in the Assembly Grounds thought they were better, they were.  Their Dads had returned.. Mine had not.  America thought i was worth 12$.   I gradually realized that the people i was pledging allegiance too were my fathers killers,  and i was supposed to salute..

 


sheriff continued (3)


Do you mind if i leave?    Looking,  i turned. "Where can an old man walk his dog" I asked.  Rocky was quiet, my mind seethed, we trudged up the hill.  Something had happened ?  But what ?

It,s a week later now i,ve spent a lot time weeping.  I had maintained the illusion that i was free for 68 years.  The sheriff shattered that dream.  An illusion is real a dream is not.. It,s flashes of truth,about America today and the illusion of freedom.  Americans are the greatest liars in the world--mostly to themselves.

I,m on a country lane, it,s getting dark We are cold, tired and defenseless.  Confronted by an armed man.  Telling me i better mind the man.  I looked at him,  he was dressed like a storm trooper.  My father died in France fighting Fascist's, Nazi,s in France and here he was-right in front of me. And i had to ask him if i could leave?.

Background:
Spokane county is a bastion of right wing thinking in action.  The aryan nation is well represented in the police forces of Spokane county; The Spokane police guild and the sheriff are involved .  The racists support and work with both. There is also a large retired military population that thinks white is right!
This is the society i live in.  These people believe that they are special, that they deserve special treatment, special laws, tax rates, clubs, and that they are good-ol-boys and good girls.  because they are especially blessed by god and manifest destiny to rule all things and men too. Whatever,  if your an ol man an want to walk your dog--

What the sheriff had to say. (1)

We had just about made it back, when the phone suddenly and persistently began  ringing. I let it ring we were only 100 ft from the road. I did't want to stop, it would be soon enough when we got to the van.  I fumbled for the phone..it was the sheriffs dispatch..i was schocked!  Do you own 1993 chev van..i struggled--a-a 93?  I thought it was a 96..is it parked on valleyview rd?  What the hell do you want??  I,m walking my dog.?  I thought so....by the gate...legally parked?  What?? I,m only 75 feet from the van next to the rd.  The sheriff is there--he,d like to see you.. He is rt in front of me--I wave--he pulls up.  This was the nastiest day of the spring---it rained all day--cold as ice,wind blowing. Rocky and I where cold. 

The sheriff was nice enough.  He looked good -so he thought.. "We got a call-from some neighbors.  They are concerned he hesitated, curious too."   I said  "you would think i could walk my dog in peace..  I was stunned! I couldn't walk my dog without the sheriff sicking his nose up my ass?  My mind reeled.. sheriff,power lines, and radio towers.  "I was kindda curious myself--thought you might be pulling wire-- or sumsuch"  he observed.  "Yea ,thats right sheriff , a 68 yr old felon is going to walk up to the top of mt. baldy with his service dog and strip copper wire from a hi-volt line.".   He looked at me.  "Did you know your tresspassing"? he offered.  "In this county you must have the landowners permission..you are assumed to be trespassing"  I know i offered.  "cattle have more rights then humans".*  "i,m so sick of neighborhood snitches, but, they are so terrorized. The US gov,t has been  terrorizing people around the globe my entire life.."Duck and Cover"..

I refuse to be afraid.. I mind my own business and never call the cops unless needed..  I had a neighborhood punk--walk into my house--i called the cops--gave them a description. He was picked up 2 blocks away.  Rocky n I rode in the back seat, cruised by and i identified the man.  I don't hate the cops but i don't like them either. The truth is that in my life the police have caused more damage then good..but who ya gonna call?  They have also stolen more then the thieves .. I,m not afraid of my neighbors--but i move away from cops.  And never hang were the cops are..  "Do you mind if i leave"?   We walked to the van, my legs wobbly rocky limping.. my mind reeled i felt assaulted. I looked back,  "It,s getting where an old man can,t even walk his dog anymore".
Do you mind if i leave? Looking, i turned. "Where can an old man walk his dog" I asked. Rocky was quiet, my mind seethed, we trudged up the hill. Something had happened ? But what ?

It,s a week later now i,ve spent a lot time weeping. I had maintained the illusion that i was free for 68 years. The sheriff shattered that dream. An illusion is real a dream is not..

American terror

Dishman Hills:  sat may5;

I didn,t like the fact that i was going into the dishman hills on a weekend.  the place litterly crawls with people. none-the-less i was going into the burn and a spot my prediction said mushrooms would be.  Holly and I had been there the wk before and gotten some heat.  We had driven into the gated community of multi million homes.  We were delighted on our score and gleefully swept up our prize as we our first major haul.  This time was different and i had to walk by the gate and act as if rocky and i belonged.  Not Hard. We walked along until we got by the final fence line then cut to the left and climbed directly into the burn.   Once again i was looking for my flower indicator (full bloom) and moved quickly up the slope looking all the way.  i could see in the distance the blooms--and moved towards them. Suddenly a morel popt up.  I was in a bowl of downed, burned timber. The ponderosa pine needles turning copper brown and falling from the limbs.  It is beautiful-ashes and life springing forth greens of every shade, bright yellow. blue poka dots and black on black. and morels.  I gathered them up.peeking, crawling,leaning,stretching- reaching.  The morels doing their best to hide. I worked my way thru the patch.  Finishing I looked for another patch of flowers above me.  i crawled up-saw some good timber-lots of flowers no morels. A home had come into view.  It was gorgeous,manicured with downed burned timber all around it.  Rocky who had nothing better to do after inspecting my efforts had gone to visit.  I prayed no one was home.  My legs were tiring-i looked for a way to leave. the house was on the other side of a ravine with was access to my entry point.  I prayed no one was home-I crossed the ditch rocky running around their house. The quickest way around and away was on the left..i moved quickly, call rocky who was sniffing the front door.  come now i whispered.. Down the hill we went trying to put some distance between us.. Ahundred feet from the house "hay you fucking asshole get off my land..I.m calling the cops" he disappeared. He reappeared. " I called the cops Trespassing is a 382$ fine you thief! get off my land.  I retreated-He was apoplectic with rage and helplessness. yelling thief,trespasser.  He was rt of course.  But, if i had oil on my land; He wouldn,t hesitate to take my land and call me stupid.  I and R retreated ,staying quiet. Rocky watched me. i found another bowl, I picked them. I was on top of a little cliff .  Below were homes, and just beyond my van. We were in  a real fix it was sat. 5 PM; I could here several voices to my rt.  No matter I had no choice, we went down thru a slit in the rock and into a well built fence. a fence capable of keeping both rocky and out.  We had to move forward the road was a hundred ft away the van a hundred yards.The fence was $" mesh with barbwire strung on top. Rocky could not get thru, crawling over the top was possible but dangerous for me..  I noticed a palate tied to the fence--perhaps--  I looked at there was a chain around the top corner locked to a fence post.  ?? How am i going to do this. If this is the door where are the hinges? I grabbed the left side and gave it a good tug up.  It moved!  There were no hinges--I pulled it open.  I put the gate back, unnoticeable.  We moved toward, lumps in our throat,  the house.  the backyard was fenced--we retreat and tried the rt, there were two old cars.  we were out!   We walked along the road,  they van directly a head--We walked by the left--then doubled back and put rocky in.  A Black SUV appeared out of no wear, stopped and wrote down my licence  number.  It went down the street turned around - drove past, around the corner and parked.  Te Jig was up!  I got in and left.  They had accomplished there mission to terrorize me.  But RnI had accomplished our mission.
i didn,t count on the fact that my prediction that their would be mushrooms in both spots,would be so acurrate that the mushrooms in dishman hills were also 2 days older.??

What the Sheriff had to say (2)



It.s, mushroom season and i,ve found found myself in unlikely spots.  On my daily walks, i,ve noted the daily changes in the plant community from January to today.  how the plants grow. and why morels appear every spring in the places they do.  Yesterday i put myself to the test and rocky too.  i had predicted that a certain spot on mt baldy, under/near the power lines, would contain old as well as new mushrooms.  And if it was true- i could predict where the first morels of the season were likely to be.  The challenge,  required a trip to the top of Mt. Baldy.


As usual there are two ways to walk there.  One is difficult the other more so.  Spot one lied on the other side of the mtn. down about 500 ft.  On the way up the tower (gated) road--only republicans have a key.-- I started down to the left , following a ravine to the power lines on the s.e. flank of mt baldy. It looked


It.s, mushroom season and i,ve found found myself in unlikely spots.  On my daily walks, i,ve noted the daily changes in the plant community from January to today.  how the plants grow. and why morels appear every spring in the places they do.  Yesterday i put myself to the test and rocky too.  i had predicted that a certain spot on mt baldy, under/near the power lines, would contain old as well as new.  And if it was true- i could predict where the first morels of the season were likely to be.  The Problem was that  required a trip to the top of Mt. Baldy.

 


 As usual there are two ways to walk there.  One is difficult the other more so.  Spot one lied on the other side of the mtn. down about 500 ft.  On the way up the tower (gated) road--only republicans have a key.-- I started down to the left , following a good when i arrived at a. sunny location.under a power line. There were no morels, something was missing.  Above me lay the top, seemingly straight up.  *reminder*  Below the planes were taking off at Felts Field.  It was cold,misty,rainy cold.  rocky scampered ahead--staying above me-as i worked my slow ponderous way up, ever up with rocky leading the way.  Inspecting a forest downed by chainsaw during a fire---a perfect spot..no schrooms..to impale yourself on a blacked-broken tree,lying crossways below you..  I moved slowly, rocky watched--it was tough,dangerous, but kept me warm..



On the other side of the mountain.  a small area (s.w.) had attracted me .  I walked over and discovered a ridge one side to the east-the other  west.  I checked the east side-- nothing.. The west slope was BINGO..  there were fresh mushrooms and old mixed together on a terribly steep slope and well hidden.  my feet started to ache .  by the time i finished , my legs burned and my feet hurt. Rocky waited patiently for me.  I kept to my plan stayed in the mushroom zone and worked my way back to the street. I was tired rocky was quiet--the sheriff said he was well behaved. Rocky was cold.

This is how it starts
I had a bump or two -rock - wood or fish?  When your new and you don,t know or have the feel it,s difficult.. But; when you know your shoulder comes up,the rod goes back and your momentarily part of the bottom-until it moves!  You wonder? and cry: FISH ON!  your heart skips. Suddenly, he his there watching the action. the rod tip goes comes down and flattens-the fish shows ya what.  Hope my equiptment holds, did i tie my knot rt? have i checked my line for nicks.  Are my hooks sharp enougth?  rocky stands next to me-watching.  The fish rolls, rockies eyes role at me.. The fish is big.  i bring him in to shallow water--rocky gets in front of me.  the fish rushes back and forth.  rocky watches.  I,m yelling get away,away.  not rocky,he knows what his job is.  Even if i don,t.  The fish is lying on the edge of the beach, the spoon and treble hook plainly visible.. Please not his lip, not his eye -please..  rocky there now,fish is quiet dorsal comes down,  rockies mouth surrounds and clamps. the fish wiggles, rocky clamps a little tighter. picks the fish up-turns and and gives him to me..  i,m dying i sink to my knees and hold my my hands out--unable to breath.  and accept my gift.  The fish is incredibly beautiful--copperchrome cheeks going to copper/red and pink n red dots--a milky way of redsuns pink planet on a universe of darkgreen and black dots..

I,am INTerrupted.

Why are you holding that fish against your chest? I look up-a kayaker in the middle of january.  Why? why indeed?  i,m stunned unable to answer. Why am i holding this fish to my chest,i,m content, the fish is content.  i tell the man i,m trying to decide. Do You have a camera? yes click. i roll the fish-an explosion-he,s gone. my eyes weep, my heart swells. thankyou.

Rockies 1st fish cont,d

enough about the fishing tackle.

rocky n i found a safe fishing spot. on one side of the bush i had about 30 ft to work. the translation is 10 casting spots.  In this case- a deep water slot shallowed out.  i caught all my fish where it started to shallow--a common spot for fish to lay.  the other side of the bush was also about 10 spots to casts..
On this adventure i decided to use up my oldest spoons and spinners. i,m talking old!  i wanted to bounce them off the bottom, learn the bottom, my drop rate and being the winter-- work them slowly as possible..  On rockies end, i wanted to watch his behavior...would he be a roamer or a stay homer?

rocky love,d the water. First thing he did was to stick his whole head under water and fetch me a rock..  i caught the hint of where his name comes from.  He wanted to swim but was afraid.  I watched him grab sticks (roots)on the bottom and get as far out on the rocks as possible.. I knew he would fall in. I waited patiently, until it happened.  I watched him sink slowly, down to his shoulder,down to his head-nose and eyes starring at me.  Suddenly, i saw him start moving, slowly his paws opened up-web feet-looked oregonian to me..hauled himself out. shook himself off and went rushing about full of joy.  He filled me with joy.

Hey, what's going on? Let me hear some new updates!
On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 11:10 AM, robert ramstad

well, this has been quite the trip, id like to go on vacation--but I'm doomed to go trippin !!!! i picked the wrong route, because i was afraid of the weather. however, i note it was snowing 10/12/09 in Hood River, Or. how about Spokane? i fought to keep my van running..the alternator finally quite. i pulled over in Lordsburg, Nm.   The middle of nowhere..but it had a napa and an electrical shop. i had already put in a new alt in Tucson AZ. (which wasn't working)!!! the locals complained bitterly about excessive police presence. for about800 people..they have 11 local police, its the county seat,,so the sheriffs office is located there. they have the state police. finally they were surrounded by , the federals, homeland sec, border police , DEA, FBI!! There is a roadblock on I 10. ARE YOU A US CITIZEN ??? insulting! i stopped in a small town, a local pointed out the border at first i couldnt see it.. then i realized that the long red train (seemed to go on forever) was in fact the concrete barrier; much like hwy divider-but 20 ft high . he no longer crossed over.. i myself got the treatment... the town is rotting,their must be 6 motels closed.. its almost like the police et al. are chasing the last dollar---half the houses were abandoned.. for them-the only way out of Town is their thumb or a coffin...on the other hand the cartels are now killing and kidnapping on our side of the border. i left I-10 at Van Horn tx. and headed south for Del Rio, tx. on st rt 90. at Marfa, tx.  i stopped to mail a letter.. actually, their were about 4 bikes ,college type, a sure sign of yuppies their we weren't any Hispanics around and the town was prospering. it was part of a hotel complex ..i asked how much for a rm---45$/nite...i had pd 26$ the nite before queen bed etc stunning!! 50 mi north?? my first wasp town..of course the local sheriff had to ck out my USS minnow.. 10 ft and floats (almost) behind my van. people don't know what to make of me? i haft to laugh my passport is a clean drivers lic and a college ed. don't forget--- tail lites, lic plate etc---any excuse will do! i left for marathon, tx. strange things started to happen--i saw a blimp in the sky. first, i thought it was free-then it disappeared later it reappeared--i was relieved. it was tethered it is only a spy drone.. WHO DO u think its collecting info on? HUH!! on both sides of the rd. a lane of gravel--one side is some kind of fiber optic cable, which requires some kind of relay/power station--funny they always come in twos.. more later...dad
remembrances--thanx tom

Rockys First fish,
fishing is my life, my whole being is wrapped up in fishing.  my friends know this.. so of course i wanted a water dog for a friend.  rocky is my trainer and takes me out  his? daily walk.  i was becoming stronger-i was able to make it all the way to safeway (6 blocks 2 sits) and rocky n i were looking for something better. so down to the river.  i hadn,t fished the river in over 10 years..my balance was poor.  i had become afraid -- of my 1st love--i knew one mistake esp in january would be fatal.  we started to walk the centennial trail its safe, flat and a lot of fun just to walk.  we fished in riverfront park (downtown) and gradually walked the dirt path at the end of the pavement exploring and poking about.  rocky n i found four paths about a mile long side the river..i found a less traveled path down a steep bank. a little further along another short steep path down to the riverside and a sandy beach. 

About my fishing equipment;
I have found that the simplest set up is the best setup..  I,ve flyfished with all its strange knots, tapered leaders, weighted and unwaited line, different rod lengths and  on-n-on... I have caught my share of steelhead rainbows--big bastards.  but, the real challenge is setting your friend/family on fish .

my commitment to rocky:  i told rocky i would take him walking everyday and that he would never be in  crate again.  i took the crate with me so that he would not be tempted to get another.  I gave it away..   i watched rocky fall off his seat in everyway possible--i could not believe he,d never ridden shotgun before. he fell on his head, he fell on his back, he fell out the drivers side door.  my brain started working on the 3rd day and i started protecking him- i had not tried to make him fall--he had no idea of how to ride in a truck..i had watched rocky fall out.. surprised that he was falling !  he jumped out of the van and caught his harness on the door post.  luckily i was close and helped, avoid a disaster,  that was last august.  i have a duty to protect my dog..  it,s now april,  rocky still hates juping in or out of the front seats: but i have used the potential disaster to build trust with my rocky.  if he needs to go in or out he waits for me to assist n watch his back side.

rocky n me cake

break time
it all started quite by accident--and i,m not talking about my mother..
i,ve got 30 minutes to finish this.  i have a monster baking in the fridge.
 i like cream of wheat in the morning..farina...seminola yummy and high in protein--put raisins in it--and use apple sauce on it.  anyway i decided to make a bird cake--i decided if i,m going to fail--i mite as well make bird cake...ps--i hid the last third in the lilac bush cause rocky wouldn,t eat it...SODON,TELL ....anyway in the process of making my monster---i had to decide if i should make it like hard dough..cake doe or cookie dough.  of course i would add bird seed---at the end--of course i made it for rocky n me..it,s important that we test it first--it has to be completely unedible..

rocky n me monster cake

1 cup cream of wheat (cooked)
2 cups raisins
1 can apple sauce
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups flour more or less

so my stove announced 30 min was up.
my tooth pic says 5 more..

it,s amazing how every thing smells so good..when its about done

yummy..perfect bird food..



in my old age--i,ve forgotten the difference between making bacon and making bread.. i have been introduced to the Flower Queen--Queen of the flour cloud..This damsel will break your bread making spirit....

fudge--now there is a name---i,ve never successfully made fudge...another failure i suppose ...

the birds love my bread
my bread makes a great doorstop
fudge is good even if it never gets hard
what the hell is the differances between hard and soft
maybe its the diffeance between success and failure--ASSHOLE...
WHO cares..
i CARE...besides fudge is good no matter how hard...like cookie dough

i want to tell you about my life

to be honest, i want to tell you about my life....i,m amazed at the changes that have come about. i remember sheryl telling me about using old diapers..no pads back then...I remember living in a home without running water or electricity...i had a great time,,i learned a lot ..playing in the barn..walking out on the rickitity dock..10 inches wide...the blockes of ice--cut from the lake and stored in the barn--layer upon layor---sawdust overall...let me tell you about the old man that drove the wagon and delivered the ice to the cottages around the edges of palmer lake ??  aand of course the one room school house --every row row-- grade kinder garten thru 8th grade and of course the big oak tree out front..close enough she couldn,t catch me.../
