On beautiful summer days I'd walk the few miles up the tracks from Oakland listening to Here Comes The Sun on my transistor radio. One cold winter Webster Groves passed new pollution laws and we couldn't have a fire anymore. It was unbearable! I did sell the weekend paper at a stand by a church.

Since i moved out of my mom's and in with Jeff Golde at the age of 17 i have not gone without a steady form of income in my life. It's amazing to me to see so many people that hate working their jobs who don't realize how hard people had to work for $2.30 an hour in the '70's. sorry i haven't been able to catch up on your blog in a while...
