Doc, I can't imagine what it's like to live day after day in a really small town like Waverly or Batavia. Especially one with missile silos! FF is approx 9500 and that's definitely way smaller than the Maryland suburbs of DC where I grew up. But still, 400-500 population?! When I first drove to FF in 1975 I was listening to a local radio station: Peggy Sue's pet pig won first prize at the country fair. I thought whoa, I'm definitely in a different place now. Though my grandparents had lived in Marlboro tobacco country and there was chicken house where Granny and I would collect eggs. And I remember one pig slaughtering event held by a neighbor of theirs. And Upper Marlboro featured a feed store and my favorite, Woolworth's Five and Dime where Granny would let me buy a dollar's worth of comic books to read while she took a nap. As for Wal Mart, bah! I'm just glad we still have a Dollar General store. And now a True Value hardware as well!

I remember Waverly, MO, pop. 473, in the late 70's, about 10 miles away from the emerging (and now defunct) Kansas City Capital of The Age of Enlightenment, and the closest actual town. There was a laundromat there, where we stuffed the washers and dryers full of our farm and construction clothes. A small grocery store across the street was on its last legs, displaying an old box of Wheaties from the sixties, in a very dusty window. Some guy in his nineties ran it, and it was always really hot and musty, and still, in there, and vaguely smelly. He didn't care if you bought anything, or not. The main street was about two feet below the sidewalk, from the horse and buggy days. If you went the other way, left, out of the KCC Project, and took another left after a hundred yards, and went about another hundred yards down that road, past cornfields, you'd see an underground missile silo site on your right - Square, about 30 feet on a side, fenced and topped with razor wire, a level, gravel-covered lot, with two parallel metal tracks near the center, at ground level, ending at a large, grey metal hatch. There were signs on the fences, that deadly force was authorized against trespassers, courtesy USAF. The KCCP was in the middle of a whole nest of silos. We'd see the missile tubes being serviced sometimes, on our way to Higginsville, both to get our raw, organic milk from a dairy farmer there, but also to visit the new Walmart when it opened. Walmart! Whoo-hoo! Spending our $25 a month stipends like there was no tomorrow. All in all, a blast, and thankfully not a real one. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > Which brings to mind that it still amazes me how quiet FF is, especially on > Sunday nights. Have we reverted to the 50s?! And if this is FF on Sunday > night, what is Batavia, town of approx 500, like?! One shudders. Anyway, > hopefully everyone at home, getting mutually frisky with beloved partners > whatever the hour and or planetary configuration. You and GF could visit, > maybe take in an Art Walk, and see for yourself how much we've progressed (-: > > > > ________________________________ > From: curtisdeltablues <curtisdeltablues@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2013 12:03 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: VI annual YFC! > > > >  > Thank God.
