So, enough already with the sex education talk, but first my
two cents worth.
In the Southend, we were dependent on Chico TAYLOR ('63) and
later during our four or five years at Carmichael, Miss Olney
for sex education. I believe it was about the fifth grade at
Lewis & Clark when the boys got to go out and play kick ball at
nine in the morning and the girls were all marshaled into the
gym for something that would later become fodder for slumber
party "Truth or Dare". They all came out with these light blue
envelopes and a wide-eyed look not seen again until Fabian
showed up with Dick Clark on channel 2.
A few years later, Mrs. Roberts, Doris I believe her name was,
was no doubt perplexed why Jerry, Norman HILL ('63) and their
lot were hanging out at the Public Library, every day during
the summer. Other than the obvious reasons that it was air-
conditioned and you could smoke, the real attraction was the
medical books they found in the reference section. While there
was some considerable misinformation dispensed by the readers,
there doesn't appear to have any real damage done. Mrs.
Robert's summer reading program gave no stars or stickers for
what was being perused, complete with illustrations, betwixt
Bartlett's Quotations, and the World Book Encyclopedia. Of
course there was always the magazine section at Johnny's
Delicatessen in the Uptown for additional research.
Now for something entirely different, and at my age of 71 much
more salient. Let's address what works best to get lunch spots
off of your shirts and sweaters. Every year, said spots seem to
be appearing in greater quantities and showing up higher on my
garments and closer to my chins. I've always been a Resolve and
Oxi-Clean kinda guy, but does anyone have any Industrial
strength suggestions? I've taken to occasionally wearing a
paisley ascot over my shirt or easy to clean fleece and
GoreTex. Canlis no longer issues lobster bibs at lunch, guess
you gottta cut back somewhere in these hard times.
The forever young and always lovely Miss Nancy has started
giving me tokens for the car wash at our bottom of the hill
Texaco. I be needin' some serious help.
I can't be the only one with this problem. Any one, any one.

Re: Semi-Annual Stupidity (part 2.0 - Fall Back)
Now that you are awake you have one more hour today, what are
you going to do with it? I'm sure I will not be able to sleep
any longer so I know what I'm going to do with my extra hour. I
am going to use mine changing clocks. With wife and daughter
living with me I am the one who has to do the clock and watch
changing. Used to be all we had to do was pull and twist the
knob on the back of the few clocks and watches we had and we
were set for another six months. Nowadays most clocks are
digital and they each have a different sequences to set them,
which has to be figured out twice a year. Clocks are now on
everything. Used to you didn't have to change the ones in the
cars because they never ran anyway, but now you have to. There
are clocks on the wall, clocks sitting on furniture, clocks in
the microwaves, in the stove, clocks in the cameras, clocks in
the radios, a clock on the patio and another clock in the shop,
clocks in the video recorders (yes they are still occasionally
used) and one old rarely used TV has a clock in it, although I
don't think I have set that one. Used to you could set those
where they would automatically change when the time daylight
savings time came and went, but the gubberment changed the
dates for time changing so that feature is now useless and I
don't remember if that feature is in the cameras or not. Same
with the computers, although think the laptops will change
themselves and the desk tops will not.
My question then will be; when we go back to daylight savings
time and loose one hour, where am I going to find time to
change the clocks???????
[My car clock STAYS on Daylight Saving time...
plus two clocks in the house don't change
(bathroom and kitchen/wall). I keep thinking one
of these years, the "powers that be" will get
smart and leave everything on Daylight Saving
time. -Maren]
