Stopping by to wish all my Guys and Dolls a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. As usual we can raise our glasses to a few holidays worth mentioning this weekend.
DAVY CROCKETT'S BIRTHDAY - Is celebrated today fact or fiction he was one of America's great folk lore personality. Indian fighter, Congress representative from Tennessee and finally died at the Alamo fighting for Texas independence. When I was a kid I saw every episode of Davy Crockett on the Wonderful World of Walt Disney back in the 1950's. Hell I even had a coonskin cap and a toy rifle, kept me busy for hours playing. I found that rifle for my sons when they were little buried in my parents cellar. God knows what ever happened to it after that.
HOMELESS ANIMAL DAY - I can't speak enough on this holiday. Many people want pets for themselves or their children. Please go to a shelter or the Humane Society and pick out a dog or cat. They need you as much as you need them to share a life with. Our pup Luee came from the Humane Society, were he was declared an outdoor dog who kept running away. When we brought him home he became our no problem indoor dog. Luee you were the greatest. So please if you are planning to purchase a pet check out the pounds or the Humane Society first you won't be sorry.
BAD POETRY DAY - My favorite reading of any poem was by Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School. "DON'T GO INTO THE NIGHT." That's all I have to say about poetry today.
SOFT ICE CREAM DAY - Or as we called it in Jersey Frozen Custard, two flavors, vanilla and chocolate. Later came the chocolate and vanilla swirl. If you go on any cruises they all usually have a frozen custard machine at the buffet area and it is always in a big demand. Enough for today have a great weekend, see you soon.

Imagine the reaction today because our Davy Crockett kit had a real racoon tail and I think the hat part was rabbit; that, a small plastic flintlock with the rubber Bowie knife and we kept the "Barr" population down in North Trenton. My favorite gun though was the bolt action "M-1" I got at Willets topped off with a WWII helmet liner from Phillips/Ewing Bizarre we kept the "Commies" at bay too. Oh boy, to be able to go back to Willets toy department in the basement with all of those Social Security bucks we have now and then up to the Pix at the circle for a cone!
