There was a beer joint just west of the small hammer mill where my father got his feed ground while I was growing up, and on the west side of the beer joint was the town’s public library.ROG62 » 16 Sep 2023, 11:59 pm » wrote: ↑ jill's just a lowly teacher, get over it...
I never got the flu shot as a democrat either...kinda blows a hole in your LW NUTJOBBERY, eh babs?
Daddy would take me to town with him to have feed ground, and I’d go to the library while he did.
I’ll never forget the kids my age that played out on the street while their fathers, and occasionally even their mothers, were in that beer joint.
The kids thought I was too goody two shoes to play with them, and maybe I did think I was too good to play in the street in front of a beer joint, when there was a library right there full of books, and good kids whose fathers were getting feed ground.
Fifty some years later I’m certain the kids who played in the street won’t get vaccinated and the ones of us that didn’t want to chance getting our fathers in trouble with our mothers by playing in the street in front of God and everybody on a Saturday morning in front of a beer joint have all our shots.
But unlike JC, I think it’s because our fathers set us a good example, not because they chose to be all Trumpy.
