post i rescued a vestige of my youth from the angry jowls of the trash compactor it s back in the garage in all of its flower power and make love not litter glory in the summer of 1970 i was 14 years old i know it was the summer of 1970 because i can tell you exactly what songs were on the radio in fact if you ask me about some date in time i m more likely to tell you the song i connect it to rather than the year in which it happened call it what you will but it works for me my mother had purchased a couple of metal garbage cans and wanted them painted with rust oleum a friend and i were happy to oblige as long as she was agreeable to the following 1 we could paint in our bathing suits in the back yard under the hot summer sun 2 we could exercise some artistic freedom and 3 we could listen to the radio summertime by mungo jerry was the first song that came to mind this evening the fruits of our labor held vast and sundry items over a good 40 years or so up until the bottoms rusted through they were never used for trash the last one sat on the back porch with a stash of bird seed and was finally retired by john and i when the critters made their way in and the seed began to dwindle so i guess when we are dead and gone this will be one of the strange things the kids find in the garage i have had a great time writing this post it s taken a lot longer than most since i got waylaid in youtube listening to the billboard hits of 1970 if you are a music lover like me and a product of this space and time you will probably enjoy strolling through the list and rememberings of your own at least for now this is one faded and outdated treasure i m not ready to let go of billboard top 40 hits of 1970 25 or 6 to 4 chicago 4 5 10 15 20 25 30 years of love the presidents 11

in michigan are so well marked really every single one of them we ve spent two days following maps courtesy of trout unlimited outlining all of the access points on the upper manistee and au sable rivers and haven t gotten lost once and that s saying something granted the majority of them are sand and gravel but there s always a sign marking every intersection they even have real names like river road if hoosiers marked these roads they would have an occasional sign and it would say something like 1000 west or 250 north and we would still be driving around the roads have been just about as empty as the one in the picture i bet we haven t seen more than four or five automobiles other than ours which is probably why we came across the neatest thing this was one of those times when i long for a super human lens for my camera we drove up slowly as we saw a huge something on the side of the road as we got closer it moved into the bush we thought it was gone but it wasn t it turned out to be a huge turkey staring back at us from the woods then one turned into three gobblers and four hens the gobblers were in full strut what i have found to be their mating regalia they let me get out of the car and snap a few pictures before they headed off deep into the woods this was almost as cool as watching some tiny little bugs hatch and drop into the river and into the waiting mouths of some hungry fish well no this was way cooler but don t tell john i said that the purported purpose of this visit according to john was to scope out the rivers in preparation for a trip later this year i believe the true mission was to make me feel comfortable with a fly rod and reel wearing all kinds of gear waist deep in the river in a pair of waders that s right waders mission accomplished i m ready at least now i know i won t be the only turkey out there posted by gawilli filed in better half 3 comments older entries because it s just a blog email back in the day pages out of iraq
