At times the pressure was strong and would spray into the air it seems at least 15 feet. <br><br>The pedal required lots of pressure and was hard to control. Even if you got used to it and could get a drink without a soaking, it was best to watch your backside or someone would stomp on it and drown you!<br><br>I've gone to class wringing wet lots of times.Carl Houstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06135737520303997277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812534277296231586.post-12484040447101324882008-03-07T10:16:00.000-06:002008-03-07T10:16:00.000-06:00I really don't remember that many details on t...I really don't remember that many details on the "Goat Caper" except that I climbed through the window into the library and caught the goats as they were passed in.<br><br>When Mr. Baker "discussed" the matter with me, my defense was that, out of concern for possible injury to the goats, I had climbed in so I could prevent that from happening. In his very own gruff voice and manner, he pointed out a few other options and potential shortcomings to our plan!<br><br>The "Goat Caper" was only a couple of months after the painting of "Go to Hell Booneville" on their schoolhouse. Again, my memory fades on the details, but maybe some other participants will contribute their recollections.Gene McCarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812534277296231586.post-35802434729736580082008-03-07T10:10:00.000-06:002008-03-07T10:10:00.000-06:00Thanks for opening the blog, Carl, and thanks to e...Thanks for opening the blog, Carl, and thanks to everyone for the memorable stories.

I had the morning CA paper route and in those days we put the paper on the porch or behind the screen door if windy.<br><br>School started a little before 8AM and I would wind my route down near the school. As I delivered Bud Rice's paper, "Dillard" (can't recall his first name) and Billy Wayne Castleberry were sitting on Bud's front porch watching the sight of the discovery. That, I think, being at 6:30 or so, puts the guilty at the scene.<br><br>There had to be others. The wagon, I believe, was the one that was used as a baggage buggy at the depot. It wasn't large, but by no means small. In its' useful day, a horse or mule could be hitched to it for heavy hauling of baggage up the hill.<br><br>Again, thanks for your contribution.Carl Houstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06135737520303997277noreply@blogger.com
