Nice touch slipping into fall posts, Kerbey, Has it cooled down for you at all today? We’re in mid-80s and it seems sticky, but can’t even imagine how unbearable it must be where you are. A cool Coke straight from the freezer would be mighty refreshing!
Oh, maybe that’s what it is. Heatstroke prevents understanding. Tee hee. It’s still hot as the dickens, sticky as I type. The Coke is in the freezer; ready in an hour! I changed my mind about that last post and deleted bc it was unable to “get.” This is much happier!
I couldn’t help but think that the old basket of leaves on the lap trick trick is similar to the old popcorn box on the lap trick at the movies. Then I remembered these were days before the hefty Hefty Cinch Sack.
I am pretty sure that outer garment is a fabulous product called “ultrasuede,” a synthetic microfiber fabric invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto, which had its moment in the fashion sun and has since slipped into a blessed eclipse along with the Nehru jacket, leisure suit and marshmallow shoes.
My turn. I don’t get it. He’s wearing a long sleeved Jethro shirt and an apparent “shirt jacket” so it’s probably chilly. Granted he may have worked up a sweat from raking,but why is he drinking an ice cold 16 ounce bottle of sugar laden Coke. And why is his gal apparently comfortable in a single sweater? Gadzooks. I have too much time on my hands.
Is he wearing two button-down shirts, one right over the other?
surely not–the outer layer is a jacket?

It looks like a sweater over the shirt to me. But what I want to know is if the Coke he is drinking has a name on it.

I asked these same questions. Women are usually the colder ones. He should be chugging coffee if he’s so cold.

I concur. But I remember the sweet burn of a Coke. As much as I miss coffee a Coca Cola just does something to your taste buds.

These little old weaved baskets are much to small for any serious leave disposal. Anybody worth their rake know that.

That’s true. Just one sweep of our cottonwood leaves filled a 39 gallon bag, and that wasn’t a fourth of it.
