Yes! Dad used to go out in his underwear to get the paper or the milk. So embarrassing. The bus stop was on our corner!

My Dad would use the milk box as a beer cooler in between milk deliveries....

Remember when it came in glass bottles, with the cream floating on top?

I remember those.... and The milk man delivered the milk every morning.... We were living in Vegas then. The Dairy brought us an insulated cooler that was made of Aluminum it sat on the front porch.... Wed put the empties in the box and the next morning the milk man would replace them with Full containers.

Full sun in the AM wasnt so bad but lots of people worked nights and slept late.... so it could be 100 degrees by the time they got up.

Who wants to discuss the war on mosquitoes and flies? I already see the little devils emerging.

we rarely git either in great abundance... Not much help here... though we do have chicken flies and house flies .... but not Biting flies.

True story.... I'll tell the short version.
When my kid was in kindergarten..... His bus stop was across the train tracks..... He got in too the tracks and freeze scared as the train was coming..... Fast. I heard the whistle blowing and had to run out in my fruit of the Looms through knee deep snow and tackle him off the tracks....a split second before the train hit him........ There was a guy hanging off the front of the train to try and grab him..... Glad I stayed home that day..... I'm tearing up.....ttyl
