Guy from southern Indiana Free

Born in '54 near the bucolic, pastoral town of Hitchcock (Washington County) in southern Indiana, within earshot of the celebrated Monon railroad ("The Hoosier Line"). Admiring and influenced by my perpetually drunk, brawling, leg-breakin' WW2 Battle of the Bulge veteran uncle, I grew up as a hell raisin', fist fightin', hard drinkin', drag racin' jail-bound ne'er-do-well teenager. But I soon learned the err of my ways, before any major tragedy occurred, fortunately. Today, I am widowed, repentant, reclusive and retired, barely living off of Social Security, near the idyllic, sylvan town of Furnessville in NW Indiana (Porter County), within earshot of the historic South Shore railway. My final goal now is to try to outlive and take care of the stray cat and her three kittens that my beloved late wife and I rescued back in '19. They are the last of the many dogs and cats that we rescued over the years. Lots of jobs, many lessons learned, too many regrets, but even more stories.

    My meal schedule seems to revolve around “I’d better eat this up before it goes bad.” I absolutely hate having to throw out food.

    I’ve learned to stop buying what I want, and buy only what I need. But, buying something what you neither want nor need? Utterly wasteful.

    My favorite was “Loused Up in Space”, a parody of “Lost in Space”. John Robinson: “Dr. Smith, you’re banished! You’ve tried to kill us 262 times!” Dr. Smith: “Aw, c’mon! Can’t you give a guy a second chance?” John Robinson: “Well, OK! You can stay!”

    “Why do you darken my door?” is a term I need to remember to use.

    Isn’t the center of the Indy 500 where all the drunken, boorish louts congregate? Where the inebriated riff-raff party hearty, unaware that a race is going on?
