**** YOU KNOW I STUDIED ECONOMICS AT MIT { MEDINA INDUSTRIAL TRADE SCHOOL }BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS I LEARNED IN THE COTTON PATCH .
THE FIRST LESSON LEARNED WAS I DID NOT WANT TO BE IN THE COTTON PATCH . WE ARE TALKING HARD WORK HERE . I SUFFERED AN AVERSION TO SUCH AS THAT .
THIS COTTON PATCH THING STARTED AT DAYLIGHT & ENDED AT DARK . THE WORK DAY WAS AT LEAST 12 HOURS .
YOU WERE NOT PAID BY THE HOUR BUT BY THE POUND . HOW MUCH YOU PICKED DETERMINED HOW MUCH YOU WERE PAID .
THREE CENTS A POUND WAS THE GOING RATE . A GREAT PICKER COULD DO 300 POUNDS A DAY . I SELDOM REACHED THE 100 POUND MARK .
LET US DO THE MATH HERE,
A 300 POUND KICKER MADE NINE DOLLARS FOR THE 12 - HOUR DAY . IN MEDINA MATH THAT IS 75 CENTS AN HOUR .
A PICKER LIKE ME WAS KNOCKING DOWN 3 DOLLARS A DAY , ABOUT 25 CENTS AN HOUR.
IN TODAY'S TERMS THAT 300LB PICKER WOULD TAKE HOME 63.50 WHILE THE 100LB PICKERS LIKE ME WOULD BE KNOCKING DOWN 22.50 FOR A 12 HOUR DAY OF HARD WORK .
I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST EXAMPLES OF DEFICIT SPENDING . I DIDN'T MAKE ENOUGH PICKING COTTON TO PAY FOR MY LUNCH .
LESSON NUMBER TWO ,
I COULD MAKE A BUNCH MORE GOING FROM PATCH TO PATCH SELLING COKES, SANDWICHS ,TATER CHIPS, & CANDY BARS THAT I GOT FROM THE PICK & PAY GROCERY STORE IN MEDINA .
I COULD MAKE A COUPLE DOLLARS MORE THAN THE 300LB PICKER WITHOUT WORKING NEAR AS HARD OR LONG .
JUST RIDE FROM PATCH TO PATCH, LISTEN TO THE RADIO , & FLIRT WITH THOSE DIRTY FACED GIRLS JUST SELLING THOSE GOODIES AT EVERY STOP.
LESSON THREE,
THE REAL BONANZA WAS THAT AFTER A HARD DAY OR WEEK THOSE FIELD WORKERS LOVED TO PLAY CARDS OR DOMINOES .
I FELT IT WAS MY DUTY TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY . MY DOMINO MONEY SOON EXCEEDED MY SALES REVENUE .
I SPENT MOST OF MY DOMINO MONEY FOR A GOOD CAUSE . I LEARNED THOSE DIRTY FACED GIRLS CLEANED UP REAL GOOD AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE COTTON PATCH .
MOST OF 'EM WERE READY FOR A BIG NIGHT OUT AND A LITTLE SNUGGLING UP AFTER THAT TIME IN THE COTTON PATCH .
ONCE AGAIN TO DO MY CIVIC DUTY & MAKE MY COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE , I WAS PROUD TO SERVE .
COTTON PATCH LESSONS !!!!
THANKS FOR READING !!

HANGING & BANGING
**** THERE IS A NEED FOR ANGER MANAGEMENT IN FOOTBALL
COACHES ARE GOING NUTSO ON THE SIDELINE , WILLIE MUSCAMP TOTALLY BAT - DOO,
HEART ATTACK OR STROKE IS GOING TO HAPPEN . THESE BOYS ARE MADDER THAN THE GATORS WHEN THE POND WENT DRY .
WHAT ABOUT CHOIR - BOY PEYTON MANNING ? OLE PEYTON SCREAMED THE MAGIC WORD . YOU KNOW THE ONE ABOUT MOMMA .
THEN SWEET P TOLD THE REF THAT HE MOST RESPECTFULLY BEGGED TO DIFFER WITH HIS CALL .
WHAT PEYTON SAID WAS " THAT WAS THE WORST HIRSE - SHOT CALL I HAVE EVER SEEN .
**** WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE .
AN EXAMPLE OF MIS - COMMUNICATION : THERE WAS AN INDIAN WHO USED TO HANG AROUND MEDINA NAMED BULL KILLER .
BULL WOULD BRING HIS SWEET WIFE CINDY TO MONA'S CUT & CURL WHILE BULL WALKED UP TO THE BARBER SHOP TO VISIT WITH THE BENCH SETTERS .
ONE DAY AMO JONES CAME RUNNING UP TO THE BARBER SHOP SAYING " BULL BULL, CINDY IS TELLING EVERYBODY YOU ARE IN THE KKK.
BULL SAID" SAY WHAT , I AIN'T IN NO KLAN "
AMO SAID " WELL CINDY TOLD EVERY BODY THAT YOU WAS A REAL BOOGER UNDER THE SHEETS "
**** HOW ABOUT SOME COACH CHANGE TALK !
ARKANSAS - TOMMY TUBERVILLE
TENNESSEE - JOHN GRUDEN
TEXAS TECH - SONNY DYKES
AUBURN - BOBBY PETRINO
TEXAS - ???????
THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GET YOU TALKING .
FOR THOSE WHO SAY NO ONE WILL HIRE PETRINO , FACT IS ; IF BOBBY CAN WIN GAMES THE SCHOOL WILL BUY HIM A CYCLE & RENT A HOT CHICK TO RIDE ALONG .
***** ELLIS JOHNSON AT SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI .
THAT IS LIKE GETTING A TICKET ON THE TITANIC .
SECOND MISTAKE ELLIS MADE WAS HIRING HERO TOMMY WEST AS DC . THE FIRST MISTAKE WAS GOING TO USM . KIND OF LIKE WHEN CUSTER SAID " THEY LOOK LIKE FRIENDLY INDIANS ."
***** THOSE WHO SAID NO WOMAN UNDERSTANDS THE INFIELD FLY RULE , YOU HAVE BEEN PROVED WRONG BY MY DAUGHTER IN - LAW .
RHG {RED HEADED GENIUS } NAILED IT , SO PAY UP DUDES .
I KNOW YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS BUT SOMETIMES I AM ACCUSED OF TALKING A LITTLE TRASH . RHG WAS A LITTLE FAZED BY THIS AT FIRST BUT SHE HAS ADJUSTED QUITE WELL .
AS HAVE ALL MY SISTER IN - LAWS WHO USED TO HAVE TRAINING SESSIONS TO HELP THE NEW GIRLS COPE . RIGHT ,NEVA ,JAN ,DEE - ANN , & ANNIE .
***** HOW CAN YOU NOT VOTE FOR EDDIE MUNSTER FOR VP ?
***** UNTIL THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PUNCHES IN BUNCHES
*****
MY OLD BOXING COACH USED TO PREACH " THROW PUNCHES IN BUNCHES " SO WE ARE GOING TO THROW A BUNCH OF PUNCHES TODAY .
1. LES MILES IS A BEACON OF HOPE TO EVERY JACKASS IN THE WORLD . LIVING PROOF THAT YOU CAN HAVE TOO MUCH TALENT TO FAIL .
TOO BIG TO FAIL . LES HAS MORE PLAYERS THAN EVEN HE CAN SCREW UP . WATCHING LES MANAGE THE CLOCK IS PROOF THAT MILES DOES NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND A WRISTWATCH .
LSU WINS IN SPITE OF NOT BECAUSE OF MILES . IF THE TIGERS WERE HELPED INSTEAD OF HINDERED FROM THE SIDELINE THE REST OF THE SEC WOULD BE WITHOUT HOPE .
LSU , BEST TALENT , WORST COACH IN THE SEC .
2. DID YOU KNOW A 67 YEAR OLD MAN COULD JUMP LIKE THAT ? STEVE SPURRIER LOOKED LIKE A MAN AT A GAS STATION WHO RAN IN UTTER DESPERATION TO THE REST ROOM ONLY TO FIND THE DOOR LOCKED .
STEVE NEEDS TO BE ON THE CAROLINA DIVE TEAM . HE IS DOING A TWO AND A HALF TWIST FROM A STANDING START . UNBELIEVABLE FOR HIS AGE .
CAROLINA WOULD BE GREAT IF STEVE WOULD STOP TRYING TO PLAY QUARTERBACK . SOS IS LIVING IN THE PAST , THINKING IT IS 1966 & OLD #11 IS STILL THROWING THE BALL .
THESE GUYS CAN'T DO THE THINGS YOU COULD STEVE . COACH THEM AND LET YESTERDAY GO .
3. THE T IN TENNESSEE & TEXAS A&M IS NOT FOR TACKLE . THE VOLS AND AGGIES COULDN'T TACKLE A SENIOR CITIZEN STANDING STILL .
THE A&M DEFENSE IS ONE OF THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN . TEAMS GO THROUGH THE AGGIES LIKE A WET FART THROUGH SILK DRAWERS .
A&M SCORED 59 AND ONLY WON BY TWO . I CAN REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS HARD TO SCORE 57 ON THE AGGIES IN HALF A SEASON .
4. HIGH SCHOOL HUGH FACES A FORK IN THE ROAD GAME AT ARKANSAS . IF THE LITTLE MAN CAN BEAT THE HOGS HE CAN WIN 6 OR 7 IN HIS FIRST YEAR AS REBEL BOSS .
THEY WILL BE CALLING HUGH ANOTHER JOHNNY V . HUGH IS NOTHING LIKE VAUGHT. JV WAS THE VALEDICTORIAN OF HIS CLASS .
VAUGHT'S INTELLIGENCE WAS SUPERSEDED ONLY BY A MASSIVE MEAN STREAK . THIS COMBINATION ENABLED JV TO WIN 75 % OF HIS TIME AT OLE MISS .
HUGH WILL NOT COME CLOSE TO THAT .
5. WHY DOES OLE MISS LOVE ARCHIE MANNING SO MUCH ? THE ADULATION OF # 18 IS OUT OF PROPORTION TO HIS PERFORMANCE .
THE REBELS WERE 22 - 10 -1 WITH ARCHIE AT QB . 2 - 1 IN BOWL GAMES , NO SEC CHAMPIONSHIPS , NEVER MORE THAN 8 WINS A YEAR & THAT HIGH WATER MARK ONLY ONCE .
I THINK ARCHIE WAS 1 - 1 - 1 VERSUS STATE .
IS IT BECAUSE ARCHIE WAS SUCH A GREAT PERSON ? ONE OF MY BEST BUDS GREW UP WITH ARCHIE & LOVES HIM DEARLY .
A GREAT CAREER , A GREAT PERSON , DOES THIS MERIT THE LOFTY STATUS ARCHIE HOLDS ?
6. WHY IS PEYTON MANNING MUCH MORE LOVED AT TENNESSEE THAN TEE MARTIN ?
PEYTON 39 - 6 AS A STARTER , NO SEC TITLES ,NEVER BEAT FLORIDA .
TEE 12 -&0 AS STARTER , SEC CHAMP, NATIONAL CHAMP , WHOOPED THE GATORS & BAMA .
BUT PEYTON IS LIGHT YEARS MORE LOVED . WHY ?
***** ENOUGH PUNCHING FOR TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

JUST THINKING
*****
YESTERDAY I WATCHED THE SUN SET OVER THE LAKE FROM MY BACK PORCH . IT WAS SO QUIET AND PEACEFUL .
THE WORDS FROM AN OLD SONG KEPT RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND
" LIFE'S EVENING SUN IS SINKING LOW
A FEW MORE DAYS AND I MUST GO
TO MEET THE DEEDS I HAVE DONE
IN THE LAND BEYOND THE SETTING SUN"
MY STREAM OF THOUGHT WAS RUNNING AT THE MAX AND MY MIND TOOK ME TO LONG AGO TIMES & FARAWAY PLACES .
THAT GROUP OF FIRST GRADERS WHO BEGAN LIFE'S JOURNEY SO MANY YEARS AGO CROSSED MY MIND . I CAN ALMOST RECALL ALL OF THEM & KNOW WHERE MOST ARE NOW .
MANY ARE STILL AT HOME . HOME BEING GIBSON COUNTY OR AN ADJOINING COUNTY
BECKY, RITA, JUDY ,DEBBIE VICKIE , DONNA ,NANCY, RANDALL ,GLENN , STEVE , BARRY, PAUL , & JESSEE ALL ARE HOME .
TIM [ NASHVILLE] ,ROY [ TRACY CITY] , JOE DAVID [MISSISSIPPI], DIANE [ALABAMA] , HILDA [INDIANA], NORMA [MISSISSIPPI] , & SARAH {OKLAHOMA] ARE THOSE WHO LIVE AWAY .
JUNIOR,WAYNE ,& JOE HAVE GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD .
I KNOW I AM LEAVING OUT SOME I LOVE BUT THIS IS THE BEST MY MEDICATED MIND CAN DO WITHOUT HELP FROM A YEARBOOK .
CLASS OF 68 YOU 'RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND .
*****
HIGH SCHOOL HUGH WILL NOT ADMIT IT ,BUT HE MADE A BAD CALL . IF YOU ARE GOING ON FOURTH AND VERY SHORT YOU DON'T DO IT OUT OF THE SHOTGUN .
WELL IT WORKED EVERY TIME AT BRIARCREST , JUST GET BEHIND MICHAEL OHER & GET THE FIRST DOWN . SCHOOLBOY FREEZE CAN'T BELIEVE IT DIDN'T WORK .
DON'T CRY FOR HIGH SCHOOL HUGH ; HE IS GOING TO WIN SIX OR MORE HIS FIRST YEAR AT OLE MISS .
THE SALESMAN HUGH IS THEY WILL HAVE BILLBOARDS OF HUGH ALL THE WAY DOWN I - 55 TELLING US HOW WONDERFUL HUGH IS .
HUGH HAS TO BE ONE TIRED DUDE IN THE EVER FROM SLINGING TONS OF B.S. ALL DAY .
*****
SPEAKING OF B.S. SLINGING , HOW ABOUT OBAMA & ROMNEY ? NEITHER OF THOSE BOYS WOULD KNOW THE TRUTH IF IT BIT THEM ON THE BUTT .
BOGUS OBAMA & RICH ROMNEY ARE CON - MEN LIKE BIBLE SALESMAN MOSES PRAY IN PAPER MOON .
*****
AND WHAT ABOUT:
SHELBY COUNTY - CLASS OF THE NATION IN EDUCATION.
KNOCK THAT C&L OFF THERE & YOU'VE GOT IT .
BERNIE MADE - OFF WITH THE MONEY IS NO EQUAL FOR CRYING FOR CASH .
YOU KNOW THE SHELBY COUNTY GOVERNMENT IS GOING IN THE MOVIE BUSINESS .
SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN MENTAL DWARFS
STARRING JANIS FULLILOVE AND THE CITY COUNCIL .
UNTIL THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT TIME OF YEAR
***
FALL IS COMING FAST . THE DAYS ARE GETTING CRISP & THE NIGHTS ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE A CHILL . THE SEASON IS CHANGING & TIME MARCHES ON .
THIS WEEK IS THE START OF YEAR THREE OF MY BATTLE WITH CANCER . I AM SO GRATEFUL THE LORD ALLOWED ME TO HAVE SOME EXTRA TIME . YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG YOU CAN HOLD OFF THE DEADLY FOE SO YOU WANT TO MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT . CANCER IS RELENTLESS ON THE ATTACK THE WAY THE MEDINA WRECKING CREW WAS IN THE DAYS OF OLD .
I HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO REACH BACK INTO THE PAST & TOUCH BASE WITH PEOPLE FROM LONG AGO . JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM & HOW THEY ARE DOING.
THERE ARE PEOPLE YOU TRAVEL WITH ON LIFE'S HIGHWAY, THEN THE ROAD FORKS & YOU GO YOUR SEPARATE WAYS . SOMETIMES YOU WONDER WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN .
THAT TIME IN THE CHEMO ROOM WILL CHANGE YOUR OUT - LOOK AND SHAKE UP YOUR VALUES .
***
WE ARE ALMOST HALFWAY INTO THE FOOTBALL SEASON . THERE ARE SIX ,COUNT THEM SIX UNBEATEN TEAMS IN THE SEC .
THIS WON'T LAST LONG . IT THE NEXT FEW WEEKS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THESE TEAMS WILL FALL BY THE WAYSIDE . ONLY ONE,MAYBE NONE OF THESE TEAMS WILL COMPLETE THE PATH .
CAROLINA , GEORGIA, & BAMA LOOK THE BEST TO ME . LSU OR FLORIDA ONE WILL FALL BEFORE THE EAGLE FLIES . STATE BETTER SING IN THE SUNSHINE WHILE THEY CAN . T.R. & HUMPTY DAN ARE HEADED INTO SOME SHOOTOUTS WITHOUT MAX FIREPOWER .
***
SOME ADVICE TO COACHES . DON'T COACH SO MUCH ! GET YOUR BUCKEROOS LINED - UP IN SIMPLE SCHEMES & LET THEM PLAY .
SOUTH PANOLA CASE - IN POINT . THE LESS LANCE POUGE COACHES THE BETTER THE TIGERS PLAY . JUST ASK HARVARD HIGH { OLIVE BRANCH} ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PANOLA KEEPS IT SIMPLE .
***
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR HARVARD HIGH { OLIVE BRANCH } . THE HUGE NUMBER OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS TRANSFERRING TO OLIVE BRANCH FOR THE WONDERFUL EDUCATION . WHY ARE THOSE PLAYERS WHO ARE PUTTING ACADEMICS AHEAD OF FOOTBALL NOT TRANSFERRING TO LEWISBURG ?
LEWISBURG HAS 2/3 THE ENROLLMENT OF HARVARD HIGH BUT THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS .
ALSO DEAN SAMSEL , WHY DIDN'T THE PLAYERS WHO TRANSFERRED TO OLIVE BRANCH FOR THE ACADEMICS LEAVE OLIVE BRANCH WHEN THEY COULD NOT PLAY BALL ?
YOU SAID IT WASN'T ABOUT FOOTBALL . OH DEAN SAMSEL ARE YOUR PANTS ON FIRE ?
UNTIL NEXT TIME , WILL HARVARD HIGH BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SUPERIOR ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITY TO OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE MEMPHIS METRO
AREA ?
