RE: The James Younger Gang Goes Whole Hog On The Banks
Awww! I love your turtle! The water in my spring must be too cold for them. I never have turtles.
Those bank presidents must have been thinking '0H, it can never happen to me!' Or they were just slow on reading the news! They should have had the internet. Then they could have kept track of what was going on around them!🤣
haha! it's nuts, they were robbing these banks for years! I thought it would be a tight knit community, the banks, and they'd all be alarmed and take steps to stop them before they got robbed but I guess that would have been too logical!
They probably didn't even have locks on their doors at home! They were thinking it could never happen in our sleepy little town.
yes, I'm sure you're right. we never used to lock our doors at night when I was a kid, did your family?
Never. Although I remember that when I was in high school and my dad would be working out of town and away overnight, my mom started latching the screen door before we went to bed. But it was never locked if we were going downtown or if we were over at a neighbor's house, as long as it was daylight. And the main door that you needed a key to unlock was never locked.
ha! That figures..how big was the town that you grew up in?
3 thousand people, and I think I knew them all! And even if I didn't know them, I knew which house was theirs.
That's a major city compared to our local town but I didn't grow up in a town but out in the country with a little bitty town of a hundred people about 10 miles away, that's the closest I was to a town.
Yeah... I was much more big time than that! Do you check your mentions? We both were just mentioned by @steem-data for comments. Your are no. 10 on his list, but I'm very proudly at no. 14!
I just had a funny conversation with the garage door repairman. He had just come from a job where he had gotten called out by a woman who used her garage to go in and out of her house and her garage door broke and she could not get the door open. So she called him. And he had to explain to her that if she couldn't get in the garage door, he couldn't get in the garage door either. There was no magical tool for that. She was upset because she did not have a key for her front door. He had to suggest that she should call a locksmith. Not him. It turned out to be a good story for me. My spare hidden key was inside the garage, where all the kids knew where it was. I was glad that he told me that story!
howdy again melinda010100! that was funny, I bet those guys have funny stuff happen to them alot. Well, it may not be that funny to THEM...lol.
So you got a spare key that people can actually get to?
I do now! I didn't want to be the woman that the garage door man was telling a story about next week!
hahaha! ok I get it, I wasn't sure but you got it fixed after hearing that story so that story may save some big hassles some day.
How has your day gone?
My big excitement is that the cable company guys finally came to bury the cable through the woods for the TV/ internet/telephone service. I didn't think they would get it done before winter. It's now almost 10:30 here and they are still out there working. They must be really behind because of all the rain we've had. I hope they stop clattering around out there fairly soon- not that I'm in any big hurry to go to bed, but it would be hard to sleep with them making noise outside my bedroom window!
