Day 331 CJSM-book IV



Day 331

 

Farm-living at the “old house”---no running water

(even the Douglases had running water in Hooterville)

 

 

“Green acres is the place to be---

Farm living is the life for me…”

 

 

One of my favorite shows from the ’60’s---I was actually envious…then, I found home.

People made fun of me. “You belong living in Mayberry,” they’d say.

“Nah!” I’d reply with disdain at their derisiveness, “Too sophisticated; I’ll take Pixlie!”

I am a simple guy; always have been; always will be. No “Fake-book for me!” Don’t own a fancy “modern” phone; barely able to turn on a computer. Hate suits; love being comfortable.

I’m humble; know who and what I am---and, more importantly…exactly who I am.

I am “at peace” with the world---and…myself! “What others think of me is none of my business.” Don’t know---don’t care to know…not interested! I’m fine; hope you are, too.

Everything in my life is extremely---Simple! Good or evil! Black or white! Right or left!

So? Green acres is a “fiction”! You can’t live there; it doesn’t exist! What an absolute fool!

To that particularly ignorant conclusion, I say, “Thank you! Very much!”

If one such as I, an Independent-Individual, ever sold-out to “modern” tripe---I’d die!

So? I’ll pull my water from a cistern with a bucket tied to a rope…and, persevere!

I shall always defer and respect your “right” to choose; I also demand my right to decide!

In the end, or, even, in the interim, I’ll look satiated in the mirror before my face.

 

Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Mea culpa!...” Memories!
