The scene: McKinleyville CA, about 1974. My dad took a chunk of driftwood he found at the beach and a carpet scrap. He wrapped the carpet around the wood, nailing it in place backing side out. Our boy loved it, ripping it to shreds eventually.
Thank you, Georgia, for resisting the urge to mention that today is Cinco de Mayo. As a reminder to the Orbsters, this is not Mexican Independence Day; that falls in September. Today is merely the anniversary of a battle won by the Mexican army. To give some context, it would be similar to the USA, celebrating the anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg.
I wonder if Goldie is a fan of Midnight Louie?
