Default OMG! Pete Seeger turns 90 today!

Do you remember Hurricane Camille? What did Colonial do? Colonial jacked
up the prices of bread/bakery products in the Missisippi Gulf Coast
area.Sunbeam did not jack up the prices.SCREW Colonial!!!
In the Star grocery stores in the Jackson metro area, we used Magic
Markers and marked on the bread 2/39

Two big long loaves of Sunbeam sandwich bread for thirty nine cents.Of
course the Star stores were getting a kickback from Koestler's Sunbeam
Bakery in Vicksburg,Mississippi.You know why little Miss Sunbeam can't
get pregnant? No holes, Sunbeam bread is batter whipped.

Sunbeam used to have a relay store on Lynch Street in Jackson, it was
accross the street from the Joy Car Wash.There was a guy we called
Cowboy.He walked with a limp and he wore an old black Cowboy hat and he
always toted a Revolver on his hip.He used to bring the bread in a
tractor trailer truck from Vicksburg.''Tubby'' Doug Hynum was the boss
at the relay store.''Potliker'' Mary was his wife.The assistant boss
(Jessie Bowland) at the relay store used to hit on Doug's wife when Doug
was out somewhere.Jessie married a woman (Charlene).Sometimes Charlene
would phone the relay store,,, Jesse, come home, emergency!
Jessie used to get into arguments with people on the phone, he had a
short temper.
