I'm figuring on going nowhere but I have to watch some coal mine is just wasted in a dog howling so full of the laziest dog that was born. He's howling because all along he just to tell you the

He's been at it now for a month. When he gets through he's going to be sore because they know damn thing in the water in the wells get lower and lower got bigger by six months more. I've missed through on too much bigger than we can call's gone dry in Leon's will like the fish quit settling troubles piling up day by day.

Oh Hill's doing jewelry no he'll here you just lost your two hind wheels. I'm going to Portland already here nine stoppin you. Well can I take this road to Portland. Well you can but they get more on enough road on a pool and they need there's a sign beside the road one arrow points to Portland to the right and the other
points to Portland to the left doesn't make any difference which road I'd take. Not to me you know. Well how far is it to Portland. Oh it seems there than it is but you'll find nobody. How many miles is it to board a boat 30000 the way your headedness and stretch of the mighty wit WHEELAN Well how do I get the port and I I've got to get there before sundown can't give me any idea as to how to get there. Oh you want to get to Portland one just say so what you do is you go down this road for a boat. Fifteen thirty miles of such immense changes to do it now and again but you stay right on this road. I don't know where you're going to come to a blueberry factory on the right and you turn left about two miles before you get to that factory. Then you turn right. Begin at the first intersection.
Then you tune left two more times just this side of where we all church used to be. You come to a fork in the road. Oh let me see. You know I can't for the life of me remember which one of them road goes to Portland mobile the time you get there you're going to be so damn lost that it won't matter anyway. Well can you tell me how come. For what reason. Those cows don't have any horns over there. Well there's a lot of reasons why cows don't have Hong's. Sometimes they get diseased and they fall off and sometimes you have to cut them off so they don't hook me up like cattle. But the reason that particular animal
doesn't have any Hong's is because it's a hawse. Well I hear see that you've got an awful lot of rocks in that past year. Would you get all those rocks. Well they tell me the glaciers brought them glaciers. Well why I don't see any glaciers what's that what what is this glacier talking about where is it will it gone back for more rocks again. Well now are those the rocks that stove up your wagon wheel over there I see. Well those are the rocks I didn't do it the whole you mean is he the same fellow who ruined your daughter. Yeah. Clumsy a.. Frost you are asked me if I had been a frost in my places
Monnin. Well listen man I woke up about five o'clock ain't never been a lay a bed in the Perkins family for as long as anyone can remember and I jumped into my pants and pulled on my boots and headed down over them. Stay as I'm on now them stay I was I don't want none of them steep narrow stairs way you're breaking neck going up and down I'm like a lot of lies dead I got 12 inch dreads and only 5 inch right size and you don't win no holler in the middle and stares neither cause I may doubt us all the dope and alongside them stairs I got me a red cherry Bannister of the foot. Newel post made out of Kobe ash and the combination of red Jerry and the ash it's awful nice in the Olin Monnin light. The foot of them stairs I got me a set in Roman over in the corner of that sitting room like got me a red plush Sophie and at the head of it a standin lamp with a circle of another in the green column globe and I don't think nothin the lyin on that sofa
Thursdays in the Clarion comes out just to read into the almost eight days before I go to bed. And I head through my dining room and I got wainscoting all round that dining room a down to bottom not would regard it just gives you an appetite to look at it and I went into the kitchen and I got myself a big black Clarion stove in the center of that kitchen. And it's got five or six controls onto it and takes more than a teaspoon full of brains to operate but maybe that's why there ain't so many of them stoves around today. I cook five dishes on that stove all it wants to cook I'm just right in the back on the left that's the hottest part of the stove and that's where I see him a steak and little further forward on the left. That's where I make soups by limb bones and way up front is the waiting area where the POK waits for the beans and the butter waits for the
clams. And over on the right that's the saw and part of the STO. I so I would say show a lack of a spring painting. And now up above that stove I got me some cabinets built right into it and that's where most folks keep the salt n pepa to keep them dry and that's where I shove my bills and let them age for two three months. Well and I handed out dog my Privett Now I always say that a fellow who ate regular news habits ain't going to amount to a hill of beans and if you're going to be a regular You gotta have you have prevailed built just right to Doc be quaternion into the wind to make some might decide to difference with the drop that comes up through the holes. And if you're going to have a well-built privy you got to have the seat just right it ought to be sanded down with real fine sandpaper should be made out of boxwood because you don't get no cracks in the boxwood.
They can be quite stockmen. Well after I got through the privy I headed out toward my cow costume now. The law give us and take it away but my cows take it and give back five fold. I opened up the gate let the cow out and I happened to look down on the ground and they are on the grass was just a little mite of frost. Thank you with words. My.
Tongue ring world. Just went. Wrong. They're in. Their own.
LANE. Mine love. Everything. And I mean New Year's is on me. You remember that stuff they put food back near and will war one to keep our minds off the women. What was it I remember. I don't either but it's starting to work.
You know I've been losing my powers too. Cos my wife don't help much. She saw Maga like oh my god our eyes is crossed. There is so crossed it when she cries the tears run down her back. Well I don't know the first. WILSON My problem on my wife is to skinny. You wouldn't believe it. I remember back four we was married she was a skinny back then at one time she swallowed a prune pit and three guys left town. That sounds you know. Well it's not the worst of it now she's ugly to the fact she's a damn difficult I take are everywhere I go because I'd rather do that than kiss her goodbye. Well it's got so now that my wife is so ugly that I've got to feed it with a
sling shot. Last summer in Portland a bus stop the bus pulled up to the couldn't start little full of New York standing there on the sidewalk. He had a Great Dane dog with him. Bus driver looked at him looked at the dog. He says you can't bring that dog on this bus you know full of eloquence and he get defensive about his dog he should use you know what you can do with your bus. Bus drivers say yeah if you can do the same thing with your dog you can get on. When.
He ran into him the. Name was Daisy and when she sang and went crazy with the lyrics and all sorts of song about himself in the river. I went up in the blue today to look like a look a mind like a kid like people. With his bottom side higher I fell in the life of a country boy and dynamite.

Get it all in this day and Jeff Barry in your paw got DUIs did they say he was a self-made man. Well if he was it surely is the almighty of a terrible amount of responsibility. You afraid that you're diggin that grave a little too shallow. And no not really you never going to get out of it. Or how come they didn't build a fence around this graveyard. Well no point building a fence from the numbness in residing yet not a lair and then that's outsides No we're in no hurry to get in. If you ever had it that they didn't pay you have to dig in the grass. They pay around comes in to watch the

Mr Smith come out and asked me if I'd like to come in and get warmed up by the fire and have a little somethin to drink. I said Mr. Smith I'd like first rate down it long but I'll not have anything to drink. I haven't had anything to drink for over 35 years but I recollect just like it was yesterday that the last time I but took spirits.

I said it's off for short notice Charlie he said I know it is so I bring it down. Well I didn't spare myself none nor may I say did I spend that on Wednesday night I went to bed feeling pretty proud of a job well done in the morning for I showed him out to the shed and I noticed he dotted some as we walked into that shadow and there that coffin stood and it had a rather understandable I don't know.
