Full Moon Church

This is the old Methodist Church building on the corner of Central & "A" Street, adjacent to the  Bentonville Square.  I took it on a full moon night in December.  Not too shabby for a phone picture.

I wonder if Kleitus has been taking any pictures?  I'll try to keep you posted should any new information surface on the lad....

Off The Coffee

It's been about 10 days since I've had a cup of coffee.  After having had the flu I've lost my appetite for it.  If this keeps up, the folks at Heroes Coffee on 8th street in Bentonville are going to be disappointed.  They hate hearing about a former user who's jumped on the wagon.  We'll have to wait and see how it turns out.  I'll try to keep you posted...  

Old Gas Cans

This gas can has been in my family for about 40 years, give or take.  If memory serves, I purchased it from Walmart when I was in high school or maybe shortly after.  Sometime later, I gave it to my Dad and about a year ago he gave it back to me.

It's hard to find a gas can these days that isn't encumbered with government regulations.  The safety devices that result from all those gas can regulations makes it difficult to get the gas out, which defeats the purpose of having a gas can in the first place.  This old can doesn't have any newfangled safety devices and the result of that is it actually works.

I have another old gas can that once belonged to my Uncle Pat and Aunt Katherine.  I'm estimating that can was probably manufactured (in the USA) in the 1950's.  The gasket on both of these cans needs replacing so I think I'll do that soon in order to get both of these cans back in service.  It'd be a shame to let these older model gas cans go to waste; especially cans that were produced before the Federal boys and girls got involved.  I don't have anything against the Feds, but they often times have a tendency to overthink things:)

On old gas cans, antique tools and stuff like that....I'll try to keep you posted.
