Methodist?

Oliver what-ever his last name is; is a Methodist. I am thinking this is almost like being Catholic. I am just saying. The Methodist have about the same organization bindings as the Catholic; I may have this not all together right, but I know when I was little and going to the Methodist Church that the organization was who sent us the preacher that came once a month. Still really does not matter, if he has been rumored to be a perv for years; how come just now he is being caught? My thinking is the boys finally got the nerve or maybe it ain't so. If it ain't so he still will never be thought of in the same way. Rumors like this are not easily forgotten. Sad, but true.

Shade Tree Mechanics

Shade Tree Mechanics
Working on a car can be dangerous. The car can fall if it is jacked up and fall. With daddy working on anything seemed as if fire was the main danger. Grandmother's house had not been built back long after their fire. We were living in a new brick house, which I thought was a mansion. I drive by there now and am amazed at how small it seems. That night he had pulled the navy blue Dodge Dart he was driving at the time beside the carport. I always got really worried when he tried to do something drunk. He had to, just had to get the car fixed, to go visit Parker. Parker was the local bootlegger. One of the local bootleggers. Lauderdale County was dry. Traveling to Pulaski was really not an option, considering the not so reliable car Daddy had. I could see out the kitchen door as he stood under the hood messing with the breather on the top of the engine. He took it off and was pouring gas into the carburetor. The next thing I knew flames were coming from under the hood of the car. Forget there being an easy way to put the fire out. There was not a water hose hooked up. It was before fire extinguishers were standard in homes. Dirt was the answer at that moment. I saw the fire and him getting sand from the pile that was left in front of the house from the building back of Grandmothers house. The fire was finally put out, but the car was in need of more repairs than before he started.
