'69 Elvis
Picture of the day!
When I was 17 I went to work in Jackson, WY
I forgot a copy of my birth certificate so the state law was such that I could get hired, work, and accrue wages but not get paid until I had the certificate which took about three weeks. During that time, after I filled my gas tank I had $7.00 to cover food as I camped on free federal land.
I bought a few top ramens, a loaf of wheat bread, a loaf of raisin bread, and a small jar of peanut butter.
Snow King sponsored a daily trivia question with local prizes, usually a meal at a restaurant. I noticed hardly anybody ever called in and the questions were pretty easy so I started calling every day and ended up winning most days I tried.
Courtesy of Snow King I had at least one hot meal every 3 days.
Muchas gracias for sharing that story. Preeeeeeeetty street smart, I would say. And I cannot argue with the merits of Snow King after hearing this â keeping a 17 year old in a pickle properly fed gotta count for something.
Lovely.
Saw this one yesterday (I am a sucker for animal photography and humanistic photos of life) â this one captures the meeting between a terminally sick woman and a giraffe.
