Stacking wood
I tell you! You know what I saw today? I was just pulling into the Post Office. I had two loads of cloths to wash. I thought I would put the cloths in then go see if I got any mail. As I was pulling in, a pick up pulled over into Charlie Spaulding’s wood yard. Had Vermont plates on it, Just the name BOB for a license.
Well, as I was just pulling in a barrel chested guy gets out of the pickup. He is wearing the most absurd derby hat. Looks like some thing out of a John Wayne movie. I went in and started my first load of wash going, when I came out the derby hat had been replaced with an engineers hat, he was wielding pick of some sort. When I went in the post office he was just getting going, you know when I came out of the post office after getting the mail and book of stamps, He had a cord of wood stacked, three deep and four foot high.
It was too cold to stand around out side much. You know how the wind comes across down there. Well, I went in and put the first load in the dryer and started the second, I had to come out to the car for more quarters, you know he had another cord of stove length stacked, three deep four foot high.
Well I tell you, I had two loads to wash and dry, and when I brought that laundry out to the car there were three cords standing there just as neat as a pin. He was getting back into the “BOB” pick-up and he was wearing the derby hat again. I never have seen anything like it.
