Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for June 05, 2023

c’mon kids, he had been bearing with you – you can spare some moment of joy from your time for his sake

And still not of good character

Sounds like Lardo’s been talking to Calvin’s father!!

“…the mud, the chilly water, the snapping turtles……….The toxic run-off from the new nearby chemical factory…”

Adam must be a relative of Calvin’s dad.

When my son was a Scout and I was a Scoutmaster, we would go to summer camp where the kids would swim in the lake or the river. And complain about it. They’d also complain about the outhouses.

Years later, I was a Scoutmaster again but my son and his friends were now adults. I told them that the Council had installed plumbing with flush toilets and swimming pools. They curled their lips and sneered, “That’s not how it’s supposed to be!”

I remember the old swimming hole. But as far as visiting it again, no thanks.

I’ll stick with my heated pool where the temperature is set to WooHoo factor zero!

Tell him, ‘Your nostalgia, your swimming hole. Drop us at the library next door to the McD’s, and when you’ve had your fill of cold water and mud, come on back to get us. Enjoy.’

Can’t remember last time I was a car in the strip… Now I remember why. Apparently I’ve repressed this vehicle from my memory.

Great dialogue though. I know several people with more character than they need. Pity you can’t bottle it and sell it.

He’s turning into Calvin’s father.

As close to a city scape as Harrell is going to get

The mud, the bacteria. the parasites.

Okay, I know I should snark somethin up here but seeing the drink abandoned on the box reminds me, I haven’t see any of those newspaper boxes on the side walk for a long time. Do they still do that, or did mobile devices kill that too? You know, like pay phones.

Her character needs to be softened!

It’s just a few hours, kids. You’ll survive.

Something tells the old swimming hole ain’t what it used to be. Probably more like the old swimming dump.
