I WAS JUST THINKING BY GARY TOOLE “NOT SPIRITUAL BUT FACTUAL AND FUNNY” I was just thinking as often I do without putting too much pressure on my noggin about all this modern day stuff. Here are three things that crossed my mind, not that either have anything in common. Whatever happened to real pickup trucks? The kind you can drive down in the woods, through the branch to your favorite fishing hole in the swamp and down through the cow pasture and down to the hog pen and chicken house. These pickups now are luxury cars with bodies on the back that you don’t dare put cow manure in. And what’s these shiny chrome tool boxes on the back. Do they really have tools in them? No! One man said that he only had country CD’s and his wife had some high heels and panty hose in there. Now, what’s with these humongous power packed gas guzzling 12 feet high bus like SUV’s that I know ain’t no wife gonna let her husband drive it down in the swamp. So what’s thedeal? Dotheyexpectto bogg down on the highway? Go figure! Maybe in Alabama. I write a weekly newspaper column and someone ask, “With all this technology, the internet and so forth will newspapers be around years from now if time goes on?” I replied, “Of course! It’s the only thing you read that you can really get personal with. All the ink it leaves on your fingers. It gets in your blood!” Then I thought,”With all this technology, why don’t they have an ink that won’t rub off when you read the paper. Well they do but it just wouldn’t be the same!” And last the modern day test of a person’s patience is to stand in line at the quickie market waiting to pay for gas while 14 people play the lottery. I was just thinking! So I will say amen! PD. ADV.
