For me the
holiday season was always the most rewarding time of the year as a child
interested in hunting. I had every issue of deer and deer hunting
magazine to fill in during the non-holiday months. But hearing and
seeing hunting as a kid can never be replaced..those memories will stick
with you the rest of your years. During Christmas and Thanksgiving, we
started a tradition. My Grandfather, God rest his soul, used to sit down
after the meal and tell us of all the deer hunting stories he remembered
growing up. For me their was no better story teller that lived.
Other people will try to bully, or force, you
into taking the deal they're offering you. Stand firm and don't give
into their pressured tactics either.
First, roll up all your windows. Make sure that they are closed
tightly. Shut all your doors as well. When you have done so, start by
cleaning and rinsing your car using a hose. Rule of the thumb is to
start from the roof, making your way down to your car's tires.

Sales of Ford's Lobo pick-up
truck are falling sharply with Mexican consumers because as it turns
out, the truck is a favorite of cartel hit men and drug runners. Drivers
are now afraid to drive the truck out of fear for being mistaken by
cartel gunmen as a rival. But, yes, you do have to shell
out some cash to be part of this whole event. There are several packages
available. One would be the dinner and dance package which would cost
you $60. With this one, you get to join those others with the same
package have dinner at 7:30 p.m. at the museum's Willennar Hall. You
would be able to enjoy dancing, dinner, the cash bar, and a champagne
toast come midnight.
I had just started on another beer when someone dropped a few
coins in the juke box. The music was bad country. To my utter disgust
the first song that played was that "I want to stick a boot up your
butt" super-patriotic, ultra-jingoist thing by the guy in the
buy truck winch commercials. The people around me began to sing
along loudly. Jumping off the back of the
deuce-and-half truck, brushing through the crowd of peanut girls, I
headed to the bar. It was a beautiful day with sunlight dappling the
shaded roadway. A couple of
guys that had graduated from high school with me picked me up at the end
of my afternoon shift, and we went drinking in Lorain. We ended up in
Hannah's Bar on North Broadway just a couple of blocks south of Lake
Erie. Teddie grew up, started his own family and moved away. The man
died of some terrible disease, but Charlie lived on. Twenty years and
several more trims later, he was still going strong. She sometimes sent
Teddie photos of the plant, if only to remind him of that time in their
lives. She always hoped he'd see in those pictures what she was really
trying to say. She'd have to remember to mention it someday.
