Where's j0ker?????

[JerryRM]

Nico, my father was in the grocery business for over 40 years. When I was a kid, one day a week, he ran a small store, in Plainville, MASSACHUSETTS. During summer vacation, he would bring me to work with him on that day. They had pickle barrels, but they also had potato barrels, cracker barrels. etc.

If you go to the western part of RI, near the CT border, it's more rural and there are country stores there. Actually, I think it would be nice to have a general store, with a checkerboard, pot bellied stove and where everyone knows your name. I should have been born in the mid 1800s instead of the mid 1900s.

Go in there, light up the pipe, play some checkers and not worry about some clown telling me that smoking in there is illegal.

I think it would be great too. Maybe they can bulldoze part of Boston and ruralize it.

Actually out in western Massachusetts its really rural. There are country stores.

I like that one....

Actually I seem to remember something about that. Must have been one of those nights when the posts were really flying.

Of course your prince is getting old. maybe it's my memory

I think it was going pretty fast that night.

You are not old!!

Oh, you mean the ice box.

I remember those...my grandmother had one up until the late 60's...we had to crank the bucket down the well across the street to get her water too until dad ran a line to the sink for her. Still had to go to the outhouse though...man I hated that!! Never did get a toilet in the house.

When i was a kid we had a summer cottage with the outhouse up in the woods. Walking through the woods at night with the mosquitoes and the bats and howling in the woods was an adventure.

I never had an outhouse, but there were a few still around, when I was a kid. This was a rural area, at that time, now it's a blasted suburb.

Yup Nico, there were a few small stores around here that sold penny candy, when I was a kid. My allowance went pretty fast on "payday".

We will tomorrow dear...it's Friday we will have more time

 

[Fudgey]

I think the only reason I remember it is because they used to have to force me to go before we left...
