** ABSOLUTELY NO POLITICS **
Hey, I fondly remember the old A&W 1-gallon glass jugs. Way back when I was a punk kid working in the hay field my mother would occasionally pick up a gallon when she was in town. She'd drive out to where we were haying and we'd have a refreshing afternoon break glugging down that gallon of root beer.
Coming from a frugal ranch family we repurposed the A&W jugs as water jugs. We kept the jug in a cart that the 4 work horses were hitched to (the horses hoisted the hay to the top of a wooden hay stacker). The water was kept nice and cool by wrapping and weaving old burlap grain sacks around the jug and periodically soaking the burlap with water.
It has been decades since I've seen the burlap-wrapped water jugs. Memories.
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
Thank you for the ??no politics? policy. There is too much of it everywhere in my opinion.

Scratching my head here. Maybe I'm just not hip to stealth political speech
Government surveyor's also liked a good root beer. Found an original pipe marking a section corner that was set in 1951. Pipe had been hit by a jeep that bent the top portion, so the neighbor said. During the process of digging to uncover the bottom of the pipe dark brown glass with yellow & red lettering was exposed, along with a portion of a 2x2 redwood stake. After finding the bottom of the pipe, setting a new pipe and starting a fast static GPS session I started reassembling the pieces of glass which ended up being from a Mason's root beer bottle. Mason's was started in 1947 per a web search.
Please don't ban my tin foil hat.
Yeah, nothing is going to be solved on this board. Political posters are wasting their time.
