This is pretty spooky.
I am also a Bruce.
When I was a lad, yes, I know, before electric light, there was a family who lived next door. The LeStarges.
Bob LeStarge was quite a character. He worked as a lineman for ComEd, iirc. Now this is the early 60's and no one had A/C. So Bob (Mr. LeStarge to me) would get one of those aluminum framed woven chairs and sit in his garage (coolest place besides his basement) smoke cigars and sip Old Style.
My folks would have my hair cut short always, the old "baldy sour". And I guess I reminded Mr. LeStarge of a Peanuts character. Back at that time all the families in the neighborhood had children my age and we all knew each other well (how I miss that). So we'd all be running around the neighborhood playing and hollering and as I would run past Mr. LeStarge in front of his garage I would stop and say "Hi" and Mr. LeStarge would look at me, take a puff on his cigar and a pull on his 'Style and say . . . . "Charlie Brown . . . . Charlie Brown!"
It's funny, isn't it, what triggers your memory?
Anyroad, hi Bruce . . . I mean Charlie Brown!
And Hi to everyone else in here, for that matter.
Minnesota, NorthWest Suburb i think.
Mike G from Ingleside IL a suburb of Fox lake actually the other way around since Ingleside is older than fox Lake but not that you care...
This winter thing SUX, The whole rounder thing sounds good till you hit the ice. But I do ride sub freezing when I can.
