That was my dad in rural Va.
They were farmers, and my grand mother would
keep sweet potatoes in the warmer of the wood stove
to give him lunch and to keep him warm on the way.
One christmas he some nuts and an orange, very special
then.

We niver got lost on the way home, we just followed
the bloody foot prints.

I had it much easier than my father in law. I rode my bicycle to school. In the morning the wind would be from the south and I had to ride into it. By 3pm the front had come through and I had to ride into the north wind going home. You know what they say about Texas weather, if you don't like the weather just wait a minute and it will get worse. But it was OK, I had a Spam sandwich in my lunch box. No sweet potato for me! Yea Spam!
