Adele’s kitchen served as a hospital wing for sick animals and also as an artist’s studio. In the late 1950s, the Boy Scout troop I was a member of visited the ranch. In addition to regaling us with stories of Buffalo Bill, Mrs. Parker explained to us how the “Indian’s Alarm Clock” worked: when an Indian wants to get up at 7:00 a.m., he drinks a cup of water before going to sleep. If he wants to get up at 6:00, he drinks two cups of water. If wants to get up at 5:00 he drinks three cups of water, etc. |

Well, a donkey painting a picture!
I wonder if that would work during a circus come-in?
I guess not.
With that thought in mind, Dalilah told me a day or so ago, she and some co-workers were exiting the Verizon Building in Tampa on lunch break and were suddenly greeted by a pungent odor.
She said, "If I didn't know better I'd swear it was elephant shit!"
Two of her friends chided, "You of all people should know that the Ringling animal walk passes this was every year!"
That's one smell you NEVER forget! ~frank
