I had a Uncle who worked at the Telenews Theater in San Francisco and whenever I visited him I would go to work with him and sit and watch the news all day. This was right after WWII ended.

I used to spend parts of the summers with some of our folks in the real Ozarks in a real log cabin, 2 light bulbs, 1 radio, when the electricity worked, candles when it didn't, heat and cook with wood, a couple of horses and a mule, a big garden, hunt anything and gig fish to eat a hand pump well outside and an outhouse and yes we really did wipe with the sears catalog. What was great about it and really impressed me was they were dirt poor but they were the richest people that I ever knew, they took me in any time and treated me like one of the family and other than the sears catalog and bull durham, the Ozarks provided everything that we needed.

Among the best of my life, Dave. That's why we moved out here in 72. It wasn't that primitive but everyone was country friendly.
