Down River Days in Ione WA

[DuckLady]

This last weekend was Down River Days in Ione. It is a fun filled 3 day festival.
The featured event at the park is racing snow mobiles across the river and if you get to the other side without sinking you are a winner.
There are videos on You Tube, but because of the language contained, I can't post the links here.

There are also vendor booths in the park and I was selling in one of them.

I had taken the new BYC Breakfast tank tops to try to sell and I got a lot of positive comments.
But the best was the following exchange

A lady and her husband walk up and look at the shirts and she says
"How SEXIST!!!!"
"huh?" I brilliantly replied
"I am the one who makes breakfast at my house and now I am a PET???"
"Do you lay eggs?" I asked.
"Oh, that's a chicken" she muttered.
"Come along dear" says her husband as he rolls his eyes.

I am reminded of this song
This old man and me, were at the bar and we
Were having us some beers and swaping i don't cares
Talking politics, blonde and red-head chicks
Old dogs and new tricks and habits we aint kicked

We talked about gods grace and all the hell we raised
Then i heard the ol' man say;
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy

He said "i fought two wars,
Been married and divorced"
What brings you to ohio?
He said "darn if i know"
We talked an hour or two about every girl we knew
What all we put them through
Like two old boys will do

We pondered life an death
He light a cigarette
He said "these darn things will kill me yet;
But god is great, beer is good and people are crazy"

Last call it's 2am, i said goodbye to him
I never talk to him again
Then one sunny day, i saw the old mans face
Front page obituary, he was a millionaree
He left his fortune to some guy he barely knew, his kids were mad as hell
But me, i'm doing well
And i drop by today, to just say thanks and pray, i left a six-pack right there on his grave and i said; god is great,
Beer is good, and people are crazy.

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy

It's really not about drinking. It's about an old man who finally found someone worthwhile to have a conversation with and leaving everthing to him. When I hear that song, it comes to mind that the old man's kids were money hungry.
