Wonderful - topic Abby!!!
Terrible time of the year to write and recall - perhaps, the thread will carry into the new-year.
Stories - I know a family few:
Bo's markings to indicate "hospitality-receptions."
Three-days, near-dead in the top-hatch of an ice-car with a chum.
Stone-pelted, burned and frozen on the cow-catcher of a locomotive.
UFO's in the night sky.
Sincerely,
Gargoyle
