The following is absolutely true.
So when I was about 14 I started in the workforce, before then I had chores, bathroom, trash and dog crap were mine. Dishes were the sisters..on the
side starting about 9 I mowed old lady grasses for change, shoveled snow, picked up beer cans..anywho 14 got my first job and started paying my dad
rent…first job job was a janitor at the school during the summer, then changing tires and oil, lots of firewood, plenty of hay
so im workin part time at this beef operation from the stone ages, local guy generations deep, so many stories..anywho he mumbles gnaws on cigars
never lites em..so we are workin cattle one day and he proceeds to tell me that the barn is getting painted next week by some out oft
owners..travellers but not the true ones..and he said that they bring monkeys with them to help..I couldn't believe it..I mean this beef dealer would
buy or sell anything he could stuff in a stock trailer..emus to zee boos..inj his 60s, so I wasn't that surprised
So all that week man I kept an eye out for the Tennessee barn painting monkeys, every strange engine noise.man I was up lookin out the window…Friday
or so they show up..guess what..their labor, black dudes. Yep, that's just how things can differ regionally.another in the stack of surreal life
instances..I mean what could I say? Nuts…But You'd really be surprised at some of the stuff that comes out of some of these old timers yaps..holy
hell talk about bile..but I guess you could say Im steeped in it..But Im that bone that gets thowed to the dogs…what I mean is stuff that can't be
et.
To a point the old timers get a pass..I mean, they've paid at least some dues and that's their language and in a lot of cases their hearts..Im just as
bad in my own way at whatever my hangup is..Probably coming to the realization that maybe life can be lived without the chaos..reflect on the four
agreements, keep it simple..ground and cope…yeah, the old timers..what are ya gonna do..take away their birthdays?
