In point of fact, the main reason he lost the editing job was primarily because of his being too careless and sloppy in his proof reading. It was revealed to us by staff members today that there were many adults at the company picnic throwing their trash on the ground as well as their children. My brother Austin, who happens to be older than me, can’t drive to work this week due to the fact that he was in a wreck in his car at 2:00 a.m. early Saturday morning. In this modern world of today,…

family, the four wheelers, and the camper then proceeded to hit the road for a camping trip. Nevertheless, each weekend spent together was nothing close to a dull moment. One of my favorite memories was on a weekend when a ,tornado hit at the campground we were staying at and we took cover in the back of our “sturdy,” tornado shelter, on the couch in the back of our camper, until the storm had passed. Meanwhile, on our camping trips, we’d find time to relax and go to fishing tournaments during…

When I was young in Mastic Beach, camping was not our forte but we tried anyway. Each time ending with us returning home during the night just to go…
