"FOR SALE"

Golden Wheat dishes.  I have two boxes of these dishes.  If you are interested, you are welcome to inspect them.   There are approximately 55 pieces, including 19 plates, dessert plates, salad plates, soup bowls, cups & saucers, etc.  The sugar and creamer.

If you are interested, you are welcome to come and inspect them.  Call me at 620 374-3033 for time and location.

If experiencing an earthquake had been on my bucket list, I could now scratch it off. I think this is as close as I want to actually be.

Today's treat was at the foot of my ramp this morning.  We were on our way to do a little shopping and when I got to the bottom of the ramp, there, in a position that I wasn't sure that I could get around was a little bitty baby turtle.  It couldn't have been any bigger than a half dollar.  Daughter came and moved it to a flower bed.  I sure would have hated running him down with one of my wheels.

Jane, I feel that way about most of our candidates.

It is possible to control run off by plowing.  Farmers have been doing it as long as I can remember.  You just follow the contours of the land instead of the straight back and forth that used to be.  For badly sloped land, a specialist can contour the land to provide catch pools for the run off.  Of course it isn't going to control rainfull from cloud bursts, but it does control normal rainfull.

Today's treat and this one made me feel really good.

Approximately nine years ago, I put away some removable legs from a plastic table.  I have used these legs as holders for various things, (flags, pinwheels, etc.) on my front porch rail.  This morning I had an extra pinwheel and no available holder for it.  Knowing that somewhere in the utility room closet there was one or two or more of the legs, I set out on Safari hoping that I would run onto at least one of them.  Lo and behold, the second box I opened had these two legs.  One of them is now mounted on the front porch rail with a big pinwheel in it and the other is back in the closet, hoping that it will still be there the next time I am needing something of the sort for whatever purpose it could serve.

Edie:  I was thinking that you were younger than I am.  I can remember when the U.S. wasn't involved in a war.  Then there was talk of war and trying to stay out of it.  The non-war years were very slim years.  Not enough work.  Then when war did happen and the young men went off to fight and the young women took their places in the plants, people had more.  But it wasn't good.  The years of not knowing if our men would come home and if they did, what shape would they be in.

Mr. Cordell started this thread for the purpose of answering questions about how he sees the position of sheriff, not for the purpose of arguing about unrelated pet peeves.  I and everybody else would appreciate it being kept for that purpose.  As I have said before, please take your pet projects to your own threads.

Red, your argument is not with Mr. Cordell.  Rather it is with a different power.  One that makes the rules that Mr. Cordell must enforce.  Why are you arguing with him?  What can he do to change these laws that you don't like?  His provence will be Elk County, not the nation.

Mike, I can see that you have very good knowledge of the law and how it works.
