Where is everyone #5

All the little restrictions and taxing angles.
In Waterloo, Iowa. 1955/56, to a liquor store for a bottle.. Select and to counter. Ask the man. How much? He says,: See your book?
Me MS boy who always paid and got and went...
Received an explanation of the IA way to control drinking.
You buy a "Book", then $2.00 (Cost of printing, in no way a tax or state profit) Book is like a miniature Excel spreadsheet.
Clerk fills in date, time, quantity, and initials This to restrict you to certain volumes of purchase in a time period.

So it cost me $2.00 plus the price of he whiskey to legally buy a pint I could have got at my bootlegger in MS, any hour of day or night, no ID, for less money.

 

Starting early this year.

 

We’re 3 weeks out I think

 

This was wheat and rye grass a customer had. We had 2 weeks of 80-85 degrees in March and it made this really come on. It was short but it was ready. Normally wheat is around the first of May here.

Grass will be a month or so if it makes it. We're really dry here with no chance of any rain in the 10 day forecast.

 

We used to do wheat and vetch mixed like that.


Our good Bermuda grass is under a pivot we haven’t had to use this year but I’m gonna set the power unit soon. We got a good soaker last weekend. Supposedly have scattered storms in forecast next week we’ll see hopefully

 

I’m 2 months out !! lol.

 

Good cloudy drizzly day to burn a brush pile.

 

Is Oh Henry in that batch?

 

lol !! No, Henry been gone for a couple years now.
