"Uncle John's Band" Robert Hunter "where does this song go?" Op is gone so safe to post, I confess, in 1969 I trespassed on federal government property , the western White house and camp Pendleton marine base and stole federal property. I still have the evidence and surfboard used at trestles that day, as you can all see.

we picked rocks when i was a kid, got 3 bucks an hour. the winter in MN brings up fresh rocks in the fields every spring, they pay w/e to walk beside a tractor with a trailer, and just throw anything bigger than gravel on the trailer.make 15 or 20 bucks a day as a 12 year old kid, not bad in 78-80
Rockpickers now. Some do only that. The picking machines and dumptrucks their only equipment. In the 80's they were getting $400 @ acre in southern Colorado. I worked on a potato and grain farm. Last year there we harvested and shipped 2.75 million pounds of spuds. No idea on grain because another guy worked that.

I was the only white guy there the entire time I worked there.

It maybe legal to grow and receive seeds where you live but they are willing to sell to me a person who does not live in a legal area.
Is it just a random person, or do you get to choose? Is the “area” random, or can you select the region of origin? Is this close to “mail order bride”, or just straight up “human trafficking”?

I might be interested.

MN boy here. Picked rocks in spring and walked beans in summer for my uncle. I declined helping with the hogs, though. After a while the smell of hog manure never seems to leave your skin. Fuck that, just feed me some bacon when it's ready.

My dad was a welder and blacksmith. There was a couple of hog farms that ran slop trucks around to restaurants and grocery stores. Pop had a weak stomach and he'd make me or my brother climb in those damned things to clean where it had to be welded and to back it up. I've raised a lot of stock sijnce then but never a goddamned hog.

Oh yeah add here: there was a place that rendered dead animals. "Your Friendly Dead Cow Dealer" on the door and liftgates, that always had issues of course, covered in gore. Blood, shit, maggots. As broke as we were Pop never refused a job. Or rarely. He'd charge $35 in the early 60's to weld a broken ironing board.

"Damn, Slim. I can buy a new one cheaper'n that!"

Yeah I was kinda hoping you'd figure that out. $40 minimum on a dinette chair.

I've grown since long before it was legal, and I have the felony rapsheet to prove it.

Why?

BECAUSE IT WAS AND REMAINS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

That's called standing up for what you believe in.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a bitch who whines and snitches.

Nuff said.
