  • Six Feet And Rising

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to All on Thu Jul 16 10:29:00 2020
    Howdy!,

    Yesterday I was thinking about the Six Feet space for Social Distancing and thought about the Johnny Cash song: "How High The Water Momma?".

    "Six Feet High And Rising", and I was humming the tune all day yesterday.

    Just thought I'd share my thought with those here.

    And YES!, I Do Have A Weird Head.

    Ed,

    Yesterday I was thinking about the Six Feet space for Social Distancing and thought about the Johnny Cash song: "How High The Water Momma?".

    "Six Feet High And Rising", and I was humming the tune all day
    yesterday.

    I'm not sure about areas of river flooding, but it seems like more and
    more areas can't buy a drop of rain.

    I saw one picture, noting you need 3 dachshunds (weiner dogs, each 2
    feet long) to maintain the 6 foot social distancing. <G>

    I'm sure Ed Vance knows what the Wouff Hong, Rettysnitch, and
    Ugerumph are...3 devices used to discipline miscreant ham radio
    operators. Vaseline is optional, but it wouldn't help.

    I'm sure we could make a modification to use it on echo
    moderators. I have a picture of it in my D-Rats shared folder,
    and in the files area for such on the BBS.

    Anything that gets me thinking a Johnny Cash song in my head can't be too bad... that song made my basement flood several years ago a little easier
    to deal with. :D
