Did You Know That . . . . . ?
My wife and I attended the Annual Indian River County Hibiscus Festival in downtown Vero Beach. Every year, a full city block is cordorned-off for the various goin's on, that included - crafts, food, music, art work, bling, photography and you name it. Favorite events included 'Street Bands', one of which was really novel and good.
If you notice closely, Ben was playing a 'cigar box' guitar, although he alternated with 4 other guitars and a fiddle. He performed kind of a blue grass-country-gospel style sound for 2 hours straight - and that included, picking, singing, playing the bass drum with his right foot and a snare drum with his left and I don't know what he was using to play the symbol. Anyway he constantly drew a large crowd and that boot on top of the bass drum took on quite a few bucks.

Did You Know That . . . . . ?
This morning [after six weeks of practice] we presented a three-song contata for our Resurrection Sunday Celebration. It was well received, but I don't think we'll take the show on the road.
Our Children's Ministry Pastor gave a concise and simple message - kinda like the following.

Did You Know That . . . . . ?
The American Auto Company sales and profits [especially GM] are being battered by the the down economy and the effects of labor unions - and of course, by imports. So, as the CEOs of GM & Chrysler reappear before Congress by the end of the month with their "get well" plans, our beloved interrogators [their Congressional owners] will try to skin them alive and squeeze every last ounce of character out of them. If the companies survive, I'm concerned that the cars coming off the assembly lines will be like this . . . . . .

Did You Know That . . . . . ?
This is a short excerpt from 'My Life and Ventures'
My First Motorcycle Venture
My dad gave me a British Paratrooper’s Scooter for my 14th birthday. I never asked him where he got it – but it was collapsible and weighed about 40 lbs. I think it had sustained some WWII combat damage but it still ran well and was a perfect-sized machine. Well, one day, shortly after my birthday, I decided to ride it to school and guess what? I got stopped by Officer Mahoney right in front of school at the crossing. He said, “WHAT’S YOUR NAME AND LET ME SEE YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION?” For gosh sakes, I had just turned 14 and he knew I wasn’t licensed to drive. Besides, he was only the Crossing Guard and I guess he felt it was necessary to exert his authority. That kind of quashed my motorcycle-riding-to-school days. Whatever happened to my British Paratrooper’s [Welbike] Scooter?

Did You Know That . . . . . ?
My daughter, KarenKool, recently encouraged me to publish my vast and eventful memoirs . . . . and, I've been diligently at work researching, organizing and jotting down ideas and thoughts . . . . until this morning, when my BBB [Beautiful Bride Betty] pointed me toward the following cartoon . . . .
Should I have doubts about researching, organizing and jotting ? . . . . Naw
