This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Spilling the Milk and Ink in 1917
From the February 15, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"Passengers waiting waiting at the depot in DeKalb this morning had the pleasure of seeing one commodity used daily take a drop -- but not in price.
"The 9:05 train arrived at the station and unloaded a couple cans of milk, some ink and other articles.
"The truck man started to turn around and the truck tipped over, spilling one can of milk, and also breaking a bottle of ink. The boys up and around the depot were having considerable sport with the truck man as a result of the accident."
And Quite a Mess to Boot. --Cooter
