Shoot ~ now you're telling me there's a difference between reason and affectation?
I also used to wonder if being affected by seasalt was reasonable. A meme of many years ago joins us at the HIP. Succumbed to the result of nearly all confusion - disinterest. Buying regular old Great Salt Lake Morton's now. Used to live near the Great Salt Lake, and they should drop the great part ~ hey, which I notice Salt Lake City had the Christian honesty to do. Big, big, piles o salt out there if you go to the right road.
I don't think anyone had time to say, "Don't get him started" ~ So, when I was a boy in Pasadena California, which was a nice place then, partly because I was there, under the Eucalyptus boughs and with my own bedroom by the back door, I had a set of encyclopedias and there was a picture of somebody "floating" in the Great Salt Lake. [Stumpy just opened the back door, gotta go close it.] Well, I thought that was WAY WAY COOL. Like flying almost. I REALLY wanted to go. I looked at my USA map to see how far it was. Ooohh. A little too far. Shoot. Those people living in Salt Lake are really lucky. I bet they're going out there and in that lake all the time. The people in this picture are really happy, they're all smiling and giggling because they feel nearly weightless, because that's what floating in water would be like. Wow! (How far is it again?)
Yah. Waited YEARS for the family to have an excuse to go by Utah and the Great Salt Lake. I think it was two years after driving up to the Seattle World's Fair, which I think was 1963. I bought a little metal space needle. This time, the trip was to YELLOWSTONE!!! YIPPEE!!! They have MUDPOTS!!! GEYSERS! EEEYOWWWWW!!!
Well, gotta go now. |
