10 minutes away by bicycle was the next town over. It had an original one-room schoolhouse not still in use, a grist mill also not still in use, and a general store that sold just about anything you needed including the largest selection of penny candy from buttons on a piece of paper to wax lips to wax bottles filled with the vilest tasting liquids. I never did find out was in those bottles. The best was the pickles. They were in a wooden barrel and did they make your lips pucker. If I could live my life over from birth to 12 over and over I would be glad to never grow older.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
