L. Moye, the chairman of the local draft board. At this time, Davis was getting his mail at Havener (by 1920 it was called Grier). The 1911 Davis homestead was on the west end of wha... Full story
Every time I think I have heard the utmost, the latest, that I am actually keeping abreast of the latest slang or the latest in terms, somebody will concoct a new creative phrase that catches me completely off guard.

My four goats were on fire. Or dying. Or on fire and dying. There would be no other way to explain the mind-splitting bleats coming from the goat pen that sunny New Mexican afternoon.

By the time I reached the sixth grade, my mother began to slip. I found out later that this phenomenon was rather widespread. I just hadn’t noticed before. I first spotted it when she allowed me to wear belted pants. Prior to the sixth grade I wore only bib overalls. Mom bought them one pair at a time every few months or so. That way I owned two pair — one for everyday use plus a larger-sized pair for Sundays and special occasions. “You’ll grow into them,” she said. Only when my everyday overalls reached a point where my frie...
