Son Of A Gun
By Joo Lonior
Not too many years ago, it
was a rare sight to see a female
driving a car in Duplin County..
.if one was spotted, chances are
she was an old maid. . .But it is
certainly not that way now. . .In
fact, it is beginning to be a rare
sight to see a male driving. .
.Necessity causes many changes
...More than does * radical
movement. . ..The movement
gets the publicity, but necessity
gets the job done.
Speaking of driving females,
my wife has had her problems.
This past week, for an example.
. . .She had been going to this
place, and finding a parking
spot was difficulty . . Well, she
drove around and found a spot
?that was ideal ? no one was
parked there and it was not far
to walk. . . So. for the next few
days she parked there, being
very quiet about it so others
would not start using the space
and she would lose it. . .But
things didn't look so good one
day when she came to get into
' her car.. .She had been parking
in a construction site, and lo and
behold, the workers had built a
brick wall across the road.. .
She had seen they were con
structing a building, but didn't
know a wall was going to be
built. . No wonder no one else
parked there. . ."How am I
going to get my car out?" she
wondered. . .Everyone had
gone and she sat there frus
trated for awhile. . .Then she
fired up the VW and took off
into the building and drove out
the front door and on home .
.But she is looking for another
parking place now.
One day we were going to
scar Wilmington was under
construction. As we got into the
construction area, there was a
flagman stopping traffic and he
man is waving for us to go on." 1
looked around, and sure
enough he was motioning for us,
1 thought, to go. . .So off we
started. . .Then he began
motioning with both hands to
stop.. .Donna said, "He is nuts.
What is he doing?" . . .He
covered his face with both
hands.. ."I wonder what he has
been into, marijuana or what,"
said Donna. . .And we kept on
going. For some reason 1 looked
to the right rear of the car and
saw a monstrous earth-moving
machine barrelling down on us.
We were so low, and he was so
high, he didn't see us. . .And
this was whom the flagman was
waving on. . .1 slammed the
accelerator to the floor and that
little red bug jumped across the
highway and over behind the
flaoman to safotv Thf man
said. "I sure thought you were
goners.. .What in the world are
you all on, marijuana?". .
."No." I said, "I was just
listening to Donna.".
Did you ever hear of a well
bucket that fitted from the
bottom?. . .That's right, it filled
from the bottom and not from
the top.. .Kentuckians, in years
past ? and mayfce.today ? had
wells that were about a foot (12
inches) across, and they would
lower a bucket with a false
bottom Into the Well. . .When
the bucket was pulled up, the
bottom would, from the weight
of the water, re-seat, holding
tfie water in.. Son-of-a-Gun...
