| Boy, those Oklahoma Summers could sure get hot. We had no air conditioning and
since we had no electricity, either, there were no electric fans. So it was either lay
there sweating, too miserable to sleep, or move to where it was cooler.

| We were out in the country, about a
quarter mile off the main road, and
the nearest house was about a half
mile away, and out of sight.
Of course it would be unsafe to sleep outside nowadays, [anywhere]. We never feared Human's but there were always stories about mad dogs, Panthers, or other wild animals that might come around and eat you up. But not to fear, my trusty dog, Bulger, was right by my side. At the first hint of danger, he was on his feet . . . whimpering and heading for his frady hole under the house. |

| Then he would remain very quiet, hoping he would not be discovered by the
intruder. Yes, it is a slight exaggeration but he WAS the coward of the county. It
was good that we always had more than one dog to protect us. ...Jim | |
