This wonderful picture reminds me of a story my dad used to tell of one of several rare ‘camping’ trips he and several friends shared. These men were city guys from way back. They knew what a sleeping bag was, and the only camping skills they had were the ones they learned by sharing duties as part of their participation in the Boy Scouts when their boys were young.
He said that they had figured out a place to camp reasonably close to the river where they had been traveling down it in flat bottomed boats. They were all tired and sunburned, so ‘dinner’ was snacking food and beer. They finally called it a night and settled down.
Part of this was some laborious digging. They had learned to alter the ground so they could sleep more comfortably. They dug out the dirt so they could feel ‘part of the ground’ with it supporting their backs and their butts in a carefully dug hole, with ‘fittings’ as the holes were dug and shaped.
They climbed into their sleeping bags feeling reasonable full and a bit buzzed on beer. Suddenly, one of my dad’s friends was furiously cursing. When asked what the problem was, the guy said, “I just realized I sleep on my stomach.”
My dad would laugh helplessly trying to tell this story. This was the same poor guy who earlier, when they were trying to get ready for bed in the dark, let out a stream of profanity because he discovered he was trying to brush his teeth with Unguentine….
I think I told you that a ‘sign war’ is going on in our town of Greenwood, Arkansas. Apparently, the local Subway Sandwich place posted a sign saying, “Sign War, Anyone?” and the fun was on. I’m enjoying every minute of it.
Here, the signs are centered around the reason for the business; such as, “I’m so excited I wet my plants” in front of the hardware store where veggie plants are being sold.
Greenwood Veterinary Hospital – “Give up. Your signs are all bark and no bite.” And, “You’ve got to be kitten me. You call this a sign war?”
Lights and electronics – “Sign war has reached us. Can I get a Watt Watt” and “Sign war got peeps throwing shade? Don’t worry. We’re here to light it up.”
I’m not sure I’m a ‘safe driver’ during this war, but I’m grinning from ear to ear. :0)
