TRYING TO RELIVE ONE'S YOUTH.

Bruce Springsteen sung about it. You remember ... oh hell, here it is:


 Yesterday Richard wrote a post or two about his reliving past glories as a Murray Robert's van and truck driver. Frankly I'm just amazed that he can remember to put his pants on the right way around but that's another story.

Anyway, it's good to remember but reliving* can be another matter. Things are different 50 years later as Robert has found when trying to identify van manufacturers.

FORD (according to Robert)

No doubt Richard discovered that when you are a septuagenarian it's a good idea to stay near to conveniences whether private or public. Driving for hours away from these can result in a very uncomfortable feeling holding it in when needing a pee.

"When I said can you lend me a hand ..."





* Not relieving.

If it is it explains the look on your face (I'm not God by the way).
I meant that the van and little two ton truck we drove were Fords back at Murray Robert's.

Was Murray's surname Robert or Roberts? I think it was the latter and no possessive apostrophe is necessary.

Thanks for that. Oh, by the way, I need to know how many beans there are in my small can of baked beans. No doubt you know the answer.

I just tell Lynn that it's the pattern.
