And now what
Saturday, October 4th, 2008Now that inspite of what the voters wanted, Congress has set up the bailout at 750 no, I think 850 billion dollars. Also while our back was turned they passed a 45 billion bail-out for the auto industry.
Done deal. All we can do now is hang on, watch and wait until we get the bill. So, in the interim, I suggest we go camping! Or, at least think about camping!
Get out there. Build that campfire. Reminisce about Grandpa.
. . . when Grandpa was young they didn’t have credit cards . . . to buy a home you needed at least 20% down and a job . . . Grandpa says Great Grandpa rode a horse from Salt Lake City to Provo (it took all day) so he could work during the harvest . . . no KOA’s so Grandpa camped about anywhere there was public land . . . time for marshmallows . . . most people camped in tents and slept under the stars . . . Grandpa saw Sputnik . . . what was that . . . he saw lots we don’t see . . . doctor’s made house calls . . . what was that . . . the movies were $0.35 and a movie called Psycho scared him to death . . . he worked in the laundry and bowling alley during school and at Frosty’s Market and at a truck stop . . . he had a paper route . . . what was that . . . his bike only had one gear . . . there was no Safeway or Walmart . . . he liked camping a lot . . . and apple cider pressed right in the field and marshmallows . . . he liked his burnt . . . he made hobo stew . . . what was that?
