Item #1: Stuff <\/span> Homeless man’s home stuff<\/strong><\/a> Item #2: How to use a frozen turkey <\/span> You, too, can get creative in putting a frozen turkey to good use. Story and video here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The accompanying cartoon has the oven temperature of 350 F. degrees. That seemed a bit hot to me, so I searched it up on the internet. I’m guessing Mother didn’t use 350. although I would make some changes because I never have “sprigs” of spices. And “Kosher Salt” is still Salt as this site explains; . . . so our cabinets only have one type of Salt \u2013 plain \u2013 and that’s what I use. <\/p>\n Item #3: Great idea <\/span> If our house could be seen from Naneum Road, I would do this. The first person to think of this should get a large money award. Item #4: “Do as I say.” <\/span> In early November, as health officials warned of an impending COVID-19 spike, Austin Mayor Steve Adler hosted an outdoor wedding and reception with 20 guests for his daughter at a trendy hotel near downtown. Not as I do.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Many such stories of those some call “limousine liberals.”<\/p>\n Item #5: The best? <\/span> As the Sun went behind the Cascade Mountains this afternoon I came inside, grabbed a snack, and wondered what to use as Item #5. “Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song [Verse 4]<\/strong> And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news. From Peggy’s driveway, in NE Ohio. Snow! Item #1: Stuff . . . . I have a clock like the one shown, but all-in-all this man has had more stuff. Homeless man’s home stuff . .

\nDemetrius Truss, of Milwaukee, found his car’s left rear wheel gone and the wheel hub propped on a frozen turkey. Either the thief developed a conscience – – – or – – – used whatever he had at his disposal.<\/p>\n
\nButterBall\u00ae and other sites suggest 325\u00b0. Okay, but I like roasting in a “slow” oven \u2013 meaning about 225\u00b0 to 250\u00b0.
\nHere is one explanation,

\nI found this with the contributor claiming “Clark Griswold approves.” I had no idea what that meant, so off to find out.
\nBut I think I might have to watch a movie or two to learn. Clark Griswold is the main character in a series of silly vacation movies; the third is titled National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. I know no more.
\nAs a teen I did help set up a tree this tall. A couple of us did a few things with the sons of a local judge. Some common interests but they went to a different school. One December the Judge wanted a large tree for the house. It was a large house (stone exterior) with an open interior of about 2 \u00bd stories. So we found a tree of the size desired, cut, and carted it off to the house. Getting it through the door was a bit of a problem, but the damage to the woodwork was minimal, and it was a fine addition to the living room.
\nYou can see this house by searching on Google Earth using this: “Stone House Road, Clarion, PA”
\n . . . that lands you half way along the short road, so move to the left where there is an intersection with Greenville Pike\/Avenue. Spot the brownish roof in the corner. There have been a few changes over 60 years for the property and the immediate area. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-Dec-hypocrite-300x214.jpg\")
\nThe speaker emphasized residents \u2018need to stay home.\u2019
\n Why is this news? Because . . .<\/p>\n
\nThe next morning, Mr Mayor and seven other wedding attendees boarded a private jet bound for Cabo San Lucas, where they vacationed for a week at a family timeshare. There, in Mexico, he recorded his message.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-Dec-pennies-in-fron-of-Nancy-Hanks-203x300.jpg\")

\nI switched on SiriusXM and a country song, being sung by David Allan Coe, titled ” You never even called me by my name” came on. When the song appeared to be ending, Coe spoke (as a song part, it is called recitation):<\/p>\n
\nAnd he told me it was the perfect country & western song
\nI wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country and western song
\nBecause he hadn’t said anything at all about mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin’ drunk
\nWell he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
\nAnd after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western song
\nAnd I felt obliged to include it on this album
\nThe last verse goes like this here:<\/em>”<\/p>\n
\nWell, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
\nAnd I went to pick her up in the rain
\nBut before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
\nShe got run over by a damned old train
\n _ _ _ _
\nThe song seems to be about a spat between a man and a woman,
\nbut it is meant to reflect on Coe’s troubled relationship with the music industry.
\nSteve Goodman is the person that wrote and performed the train song “The City of New Orleans,” about the dying railroads and his own life, dying from leukemia. Steve Goodman<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
