Edumacation is like Education only Funner
I heard about good eats. They’re food with scientific explanations. I work at home. It’s a good thing, I can’t work anywhere’s else. I have a good family life. My family tree is growing at both ends, like ancestry. If you want to get published, write a book. Those are bits of advise from the [...]
Henry
In the third grade, under the tutelage of Miss McKinley, Henry and I became lifelong friends. We knew we were friends because we liked a dog, a donkey and a fishing pole. Together we walked along the back roads of yesterday. At times a dog trotted at our heels. Henry talked a lot. He made [...]
Trails of Nostalgia, A Man Along the Road

The following is an excerpt from my forthcoming book — Along the Back Roads of Yesterday. “Oris. Getting you to listen to what I’m telling you is like asking a pet mouse to eat a bushel of red apples.” I had asked Mom if I could hitch my mule Red to the cart and go for [...]

Back Roads – Nostalgia for Today’s World
When Oris George first contacted me (Charger) about creating a website for his donkeys and mules, I was a bit taken back. I do high-tech stuff and this guy wants me to work with donkey poop and mule dung? I’m better than that, but then I visited with him a bit and we talked about [...]

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” – Cicero – 55 BC
The BEST Looking Cad …
This side of the Mississippi and he wanted to know if he could post it here on his website… ? Uh, yeah!!! Not only can he, but now that I’ve seen it, I’ll post it. That way he can’t read it. Oris, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to post it, but now that [...]
Another “Mom Remembers”
Oris: Mom. Do you remember Old Buck? Mom: Yes, I remember that darn mule and your little brother. In the event your dad had a hurried need for a saddle mule, he kept Buck in the small pasture behind the barn. Buck was so afraid his urine would splatter on his legs, horse mules are [...]
