Even the most clueless hillbilly knows not to store ammo next to the coal stove.

Cletis was all about safety. A good friend once said that Cletis wouldn’t even let his young son play with a beach ball because he might get cut.

I half expected him to blow up the crematorium (i.e. Beirut Blast), but it seems to have survived. Cletis would be apoplectic about the explosion disaster in Lebanon. 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse in a heavily populated city … close to fireworks..why not?

Cletis’ ashes are safely back at Stump Holler where they will be interred in the family plot high atop beautiful Stump Mountain along with generations of Stump kinfolk.

think that he was an extraordinary person, you are right a hundred times over. I was lucky enough to spend 40 years with him and they were all (except for a month or two) incredibly happy. I have never met anyone who had his capacity to love. He cared deeply and he gave

Hi....I am Cletis' wife and I want to thank you for all the outpouring of love you have offered up. His twitter friends were a huge joy to him and he lived vicariously through all of your trials and tribulations as he was unable to partake of life very much. To those of you who

Every night would be
a holy night if ....
spend with you.

Not holy like prayer
but more like slayer
after the passionate fight
we lay together limbs entwined
souls vibrating in a holy light ....

Barbara's ass was considered essential to community safety. She was never one for looks but men battled over her. I CAN STILL her trumping by my house; headed for a distant light in the trees.

An old or young grasshopper will spit in your hand. I remember-learned this so I'm pretty sure it's true. However, important even as metaphor, I question much I thought was a given not so long ago.

@oshum Many feel this way. Your brilliance is obvious and must be chastened by the herd.

that summer

the summer when poison ivy on her ass was hard to explain

the night she walked into the poolroom and waved her keys at me and Billy Joe / come on Joey / you drive

god that girl

the old coal train
makes it's way up the grade
