The other day I thought of two little shack
houses that used to be on Ebenezer Road in Marietta, down from the chicken
houses that was taking up the land that
would eventually be Addison School. The
two shacks each had an outhouse in back.
When I used
to run a lot there in front of their
house there was a no shoulder area beside the road. If you ran or drove off the pavement there
you would have a sudden jar and possibly car or human injury. Once I was running after it rained and a car
coming towards me made me hop off the payment and I fell. I expected
that my feet would hit the surface of soil, I didn't know it was on the
edge of a small bank. I fell, got muddy
and skinned up.
I was good
entertainment for the group sitting on the front porch of one of the
shacks. They all let out a sudden
whooping HEE HAW as I took a tumble and when I slid in the mud it brought more hoots and HEES HAWS.
They
probably didn't have a television.
