Remember when you were a youngster and all your friends got the hottest new item first and you were still waiting for your parents to buy you one of whatever it was?
Hula hoops hit the scene in 1958. When Mother and Daddy finally bought me one (either I was broke or too stingy to spend my own money or both), they didn’t get me a red one or a blue one or a green one from M. E. Moses.
Nope, they bought me a black one from the local hardware store-lumberyard. It was fabricated from a piece of hose a bit skinnier than normal hoop tubing. Even the diameter was somewhat shy of standard, but so was I back then.

Farmers, if you’ve ever wanted to sell stuff at a farmers market but the rabbits ravage your garden, don’t lose hope. Go wild.
Think of that un-grazed corner of the farm as God’s garden. Walk there. Take a machete. Be ready to scale a tree if a wild hog comes at you, unless you’ve practiced machete throwing.
If you emerge from the wilderness onto a public road, machete in one hand and a bag of pokeweed in the other, don’t expect to hitchhike – unless a neighbor comes along.
I hope Scotty didn’t find any ticks in his truck after he gave me a ride. I thoughtfully picked one off myself before I climbed in. Incidentally, he’s a real farmer who has sold black-eyed peas and watermelons at the market. Maybe he will again. Time will tell.
