Mr. George Kirk was another wonderful man in that same church.
He told me that a four-ply tire is made by pulling fabric first from one source, then from a second. The second has fabric whose cords criss-cross the first ply. Then the process is repeated for a four-ply tire.

I knelt to pray when day was done,
And prayed, "Lord, bless everyone;
Lift from each heart the pain,

The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.
I did not

A man once caught another in the very act of picking his pocket. The thief excused himself by saying that he was unemployed and starving, and how, after he had served a term of imprisonment, nobody would empty him. Whenever he gave his name his reputation became known, and no one would trust him.

George Burns a comedian from another generation once sang a song titled
I wish I was 18 again
At a restaurant in Dallas an old man chimed in,
And I thought he was out of his head.

He said I’ll never again
