“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
I know you guys won’t believe me but one of my first jobs was as a helper on a milk delivery route. I was about 12yo and we did home delivery from a horse-drawn milk wagon and the horse knew every stop by heart.....
This was in Detroit and the dairy was Sealtest. I made $1.25/day...😌
Before my time, but we used to mob the milk truck until the driver chipped of pieces of ice for us to eat.
edit: I remember in the winter going out to the metal box he put the jars in and seeing the cream standing proudly on a column of frozen milk that had forced the cardboard circle off the top.
Oh, they were called 'pogs', we had to bring them to school in the first grade. Used them to draw circles to write numbers or letters in with fat pencils, manual dexterity training. Fond memory.

Victuals. I believe it was yakster that used it recently somewhere on here. I still say vittles on occasion and get some strange looks when I do.
Vittles is how it's pronounced.

Yes but the strange looks are because it's a codger word.

You'd think you'd get stranger looks out of "It's a free country."

I can remember when there was only ONE Daily Deal, an' when it was gone, it was gone.

You can still get it in a lot of sportsman stores. I keep a small cloth sack of them by the bed. It makes a really good night cap.
