In it, were unusual, promotional matchboxes, including boxes with the Morton Salt label, and actually shaped like miniature Morton Salt boxes! I only paid four bucks for it, and was going to turn around and flip it in a flea-market I rented space in. But I had such a fun time browsing through all those match books, I decided to keep it, and add to it. Eventually however, I did sell it. But It was really a great collection!

davknight comments on Jun 25, 2019:

Back in the 1980s, I worked as a paintmaker, in an arts and crafts paint factory. I worked midnights, and one night I was going on a break, and noticed a commotion in the warehouse. The foreman, and the set-up boys had something trapped under a 30' tall storage rack. I went over to investigate, and upon peering underneath the storage rack, I came almost nose-to-nose with an irate mama possum. I also noticed what looked like tiny mice trying to hide near mama's tail. I quickly realized these were little baby possums. Well, the foreman had made elaborate plans to flush the critter from cover, and then beat it to death with canoe paddles (not kidding!). I noticed they had left the side door open, and that it was raining pretty heavily outside. I figured the mama possum had thought "any ol' port in a storm", and had brought her brood into our warehouse for shelter. Anyhow, I couldn't let these idiots beat it to death with canoe paddles. So I ran back to the paintmaking area, and quickly made a solution of 1 part Ammonia Hydroxide, and 9 parts tap water. I brought my concoction back over to the warehouse, in a small bowl, and slid it under the storage rack. I then told everyone to go away, for about fifteen minutes. And fifteen minutes later, the mama possum and youngins had scurried back out the side door. Problem solved! I had to fill out a 'formula sheet' for everything I made. So I filled out one for "anti-possum gas", and filed it in the lab, just as I would for a batch of paint!

This was a system developed by Edward Maynard, back in the mid nineteenth-century, whereby a roll of paper caps was used to prime rifle-muskets. The Army adapted the design as the Springfield 1855 Rifle-Musket, but abandoned it in 1861 (because the paper caps became wet, and useless in the rain). Still, a few Union regiments marched off to the Civil War, equipped with the Maynards!

We used to hitchhike a lot as teens. If you wanted to go somewhere, you just wet your thumb, and hung it out to dry! But by the mid to late 'seventies, it seemed to have become about as extinct as hopping trains. Still, the freedom of the open road was fun. Canada even used to have youth hostels for hitchhikers. One hot, summers day, while hitching along the main highway connecting Windsor, Ontario, with Toronto. I got stuck in the same spot. I was there so long, I started seeing stuff. And, in a cornfield, several hundred meters from the highway, I thought I saw a bunch of young girls, working topless. I quickly got out my binoculars, and zeroed in. And yup, it was a bunch of half-naked young girls. Then, at the precise moment I realized I wasn't hallucinating, a ride stopped. Later, when I got to my destination (Toronto Island Blues and Jazz Festival, Summer, 1973), I asked about what I had seen. And I learned it was a Canadian government-sponsored youth hostel. Too bad we never had anything like that in the U.S.!

Now the fift daughter on the twelfth night Told the first father that things weren't right My complexion she said is much too white He said come here and step into the light he says hmmm you're right Let me tell second mother this has been done But the second mother was with the seventh son And they were both out on Highway 61. Now the rowin' gambler he was very bored He was tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes I think it can be very easily done We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61.

davknight comments on Jun 14, 2019:

You may remember that the people of Early America were largely of British origin, and brought over/adapted many British melodies. The song you mentioned was set to the tune of "Anacreon on High", an English drinking song. "Yankee Doodle" was an English composition, meant to poke fun at the American rebels, who adapted it for themselves. Many colonial Americans brought over fiddles, and many a tune, already committed to memory. It was common for them to adapt new sets of lyrics to the melodies they'd brought over from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England. The same thing happened in Australia, which, as you know, was founded as a replacement, for the loss of the American colonies.
