Going Like Sixty

Going Like Sixty

If I ever sit in a public park with a hankerchief on my head held in place by my sunglasses, you will know that Nancy has officially given up on me.

I wonder what significance these geometric shapes have? I recall wasting many hours in geometry class doodling with my compass and coming up with all kinds of neat designs.

When the Spirograph hit the market and Nancy’s little sister got one, I would incur Nanc’s wrath by making her wait “just a few more minutes” before we left for a Saturday night date while I finished my “artwork.”

Didn’t Die On Nantahala

Nancy didn’t find enough rubies to get decked out in leather. She “only” came out of the Sheffield Mine with 16.5 carats. They are currently soaking in a acid bath (Diet Coke) to remove the dirt she didn’t wash off on the sluice.

She sat on a wood bench for 5 1/2 hours and sifted through four buckets of dirt. (Them’s pails to you Northerners.) Here fingerstips are swollen and cracked.

OTOH, I floated down the Nantahala with hardly a care and only an occasional burst of energy. Class III rapid at the every end was a BLAST.

Hooked and already planning to attack the Ocoee River next.
