Skeet's "Capitals"
Skeet,
It is interesting to read some of your posts.
Was wondering, though.....how do you decide which words to capitalize??
Do they have special importance in each post or am I reading into it too much?
A curious mind wants to know.
Don't believe everything you think....

I think the basics were taught in grammar school, and advanced capitalization in Junior High ( note the capitalization).

Must be slow on the Board this Morning!
Time to Jump on "Ole Skeet" again.
Bring it On!!!
Rote Memorization!! Habit?? Too Old to Change??
I am inclined to think that as I was going through College in my Report Writing Classes I was Taught to use Capitals to bring attention to the Reader
especially for "Capital Murderers in Texas". Would be better if California would "Fry a Few More each Year"!
Would YouALL beleive that I got a Blue Ribbon in Second Grade for "Spelling".
Also Selected as "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities"" 1957!!
I know, I know it is hard to beleive an ex Hobo, Cowboy, Logger, Towbar Jockey, Cantalope Inspector, Wine Grape Inspector, Tomato Inspector, Truck
Driver, Aviation Accident Investigator, Private Investigator,House Detective, Snap-On Tool Dealer, Pilot with 6,000 Hours, Rental Property
Investments, Calif.Texas, Montana, Wa. Arizona, and last but not least Baja Calif, Sur, Sea of Cortez Fisherman for 27 years{Panga Owner and Operator}
would ever end up in the Great State of Texas with a Beautifull Wife, 2 Horses, 2 Cats, two Dogs??????
And best of all no DOPE in my Life.
Maybe that if I had learned to spell better and not do so many "CAPITALS" iI could have been a Success in Life!!
It is a Great Day in Texas, 25 Degrees, Sunshine, light Bresse, and good company on this Board.
GOD BLESS YOUALL

e.e. cummings never used capitals. Victor Hugo and Thomas Wolfe used lots of commas and filled whole pages with one sentence. Hemmingway was
renowned for short, clear sentences.
It's all a matter of style and Skeet's is definitely unique.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Change in jobs, careers, living spaces, etc. is good, IMHO---keeps the brain from going moldy.

Skeet--------Multiple jobs???? I can sure relate to that. Opportunities just keep/kept opening up, and it is ALL exciting and challenging!!! I am
pretty sure that you had it the same way, as we had many of the same type jobs, and in the same places------and I loved it all, as you obviously do
too.
I applaud you, Skeeter.

Wine Grape Inspector State of Calif.
Sold my Sanp- On Tool Route-Spent the first Summer as a Wine Grape Inspector, nest Summer as Supervisor of Inspectors at the Wineries around San Jose
and Gallo Winery at Livingston.
Hard to beleive that the Farmers would bring as many as 700 Loads of Grapes to be Crushed at that one Winery!
Sample of the Grapes would be pulled from each Load, tested for Rot, Sugar{Farmers were Paid on Sugar Content}
Earnest Gallo would fly in each moring at 7 Am then on to Fresno and return at 7 Pm and those Grapes had better be in the Crusher with no Trucks lined
up Full.
Then One day I discovered that one of my Inspectors had Forged a Certificate of Thompsons{$200 a Ton} for Zinfidels{$600 a Ton}. Thompsons were being
sent to a Winery near Stockton Calif.bottled and labeled as Zin's.
Did not want to be involved with the Mafia so that was enough{Ready for another Career Change}. Later it cost the Boys in Stockton $13, Million Fine.
Dennis I sure do enjoy a good "Muscato" especially from the Central Valley of Calif.
Trouble again with Tomatoes next.

Sanp ?
Is that a Texas Brand ?
I used to buy Snap-On and MAC Tools. No Sanp. Maybe they aren't sold in California.
