WRECK IN WELLINGTON, TEXAS APRIL 9, 2015 Continued from last week. The Bonnie and Clyde gang was hiding out in Joplin, Missouri when a neighbor called the police about all night, loud parties.

Bonnie used her Browning Automatic Rifle to keep a highway patrolman pinned...
Hiccups and Outhouse Poetry # 1361 12/01/14
Each year when the weather cooperates we have our family Thanksgiving at the cabin by the river southwest of Charleston. This year we had forty three attend. Seems like about thirty of them were toddlers. Must be something in the water. It was babies everywhere and people were hollering to get that baby back away from the steep bank. Having that many people creates a slight problem concerning bathroom facilities, especially when some...

Rattlesnakes and Birthday Cakes, August 28, 2014 # 1347
Sunday afternoon daughter in law Jinger Williams was riding her bike on County Road 1170 south of Charleston and saw a four foot long, canebrake rattlesnake crawling across. She called Jean to see if we wanted to see it and we headed toward her, just around the corner by the Templeton gate. I was afraid it would crawl off in the woods before we could get there but for some reason it stopped just off the road and coiled up. Since these...
