Show the key hole 1 by the desert rat how times flies or maybe it p s th fact that I 1 got sure foot put away for the winter and have been daiv ing the jeep 1 I found out these jeeps are a lot more expensive than old sure foot as they don t give gas and oil away here and to top it all off I 1 had to fill the jeep with anti freeze which is something I 1 have never had to do to that mule may nay be things will balance out about even for the jeep has a good heater in it and I 1 can get around over the country faster however have to keep on the roads which makes it a lot farther sometimes now that the off year elections are over the defeated candidates can give you a pretty good estimate of how many liars they met during their campaign funny how these elections all turn out the same the man receiving the most votes always wins which I 1 was sure would happen before the votes were counted the fellow that got de feared fea ted will probably be the winner in the end for he can sleep at night and not be bothered with some arrate citizen calling him in the middle of the night to find out why the water is muddy or why his sewer is stop ped up etc besides the old hold overs in office generally pass the buck to the new officials so their hides get toughened up before their term expires hope the new city councilmen here know how to cut weeds and get the town cleaned up if they do this they can stay in office for life work has started on the new laundry which isn t any too soon if they rush the job through then I 1 may be able to save my last pair of sox this cold weather now and then is bad for I 1 cracked or busted off most of the foot on every pair I 1 have but the ones I 1 now have on and winter time is no time to go with out sox I 1 finally made it over to moab in the jeep and I 1 really believe those fellows have some uranium over that way they are building a big mill and am have have been building PJ places ace s for people to live which makes a town grow for no town town is going to grow if there is no pace place for people to live and when Pro proper peri ty is too high they are not going to build but will go to the town that offers more for their money and that is what moab is doing the building permits are nearing the 2 million figure for 1955 what does moab have that green river does n nt t have nothing only a group of progressive citizens that want to build a good town and they are doing a good of it how long is green river going to watch the boat go by and without doing some thing about it 9 7 9 if any of you uranium prospect ors find a way of buying xmas pres ants without getting in jail when you haven t found any uranium and used up all the grub stake please let me know I 1 am going to have to come up with something even if I 1 have to write the folks and tell them I 1 lost my calander and xmas got by before I 1 found out it was gone in my younger days I 1 use to start falling out with all my girl friends about this time of year you would be surprised how many xmas presents it saved me buying then there was always the pleasure of making up with them after xmas I 1 didn dian t loose many that way anyway a fellow can always find a new one better start now boys going out with the other girl is always a good starter A prospector roaming the desert and hills don t a very large variety of fresh vegetables cactus loco weed and a few other varieties varie tits of desert foliage which isn t so bad if prepared right but when he comes to town he likes a change now I 1 like combination salad and so do most other people but why do most cooks persist in cutting up onions so fine you can t find them to pick out and put them in the salad 9 9 many people are like me they like onions but onions don t like them so why ruin good salad for so many when it is just as easy and a lot less work to lay a piece of onion on the salad plate so a fellow can eat it if he wants too or give it away with fishing it out of the salad sal ad The on j way to kill onion breath is to e garlic I 1 then you had better be read P to start back to camp for they won let you in most decent places days are getting so short a febo fello don t have much time tim e during da light to stay in and town is i place for an old desert rat to be i night so until next week ad ados os |
