It was also in the wafer board / aspenite etc. Someone here has to remember, years back when I was in high school, I heard of something called "rush".

Well one day this small brown bottle is getting passed around in class, science class as I recall, with one of the best well regarded christian brothers we had at the school teaching. Former golden gloves champ too, he could hit hard even at his age then. I tested him out one morning after unfairly failing inspection, by stating my opinion in reaction to the upper classman jerk who failed me because he could, not for any valid reason. Open hand 2x, once each way ! I told him my grandmother hits harder, lol! That got me booted from the class LOL ! He was one of the few good teachers that would help any student who asked. Always had extra help classes in the science/chemistry lab on saturdays on his time to help. Truly genuine, and he did most of the repairs at the school. He was one of the best who was very dedicated to his work and his religion. He was of the greatest generation era too. You know the type. Many of us remember him in high regards,(no pun intended lol !) and we did have some weirdos teaching there as well, some wearing the same cloth as he did. Br William was an honorable man who could never do enough for the students and the school. They had a small ford tractor for the grounds there, a shibaura model in blue with a ford label. I used to marvel at it since we sold ford and I was likely the only student who could operate a tractor, most were suburbanites or from the tri-city area.

Anyways, that bottle was apparently formaldehyde. Kids called it rush and were taking deep whiffs off of it, their faces turn red, almost pass out etc. Not sure who brought it or where it came from, I passed it along, took one tiny sniff to see what it was also wondering what the heck was wrong with these kids. I knew better than follow what these idiots were doing given how it smelled. I had heard of this in a lot of places. Seems kids still do similar things today.

If that brother had seen this, he'd have lit each one of them up for starters. He'd let some line out too, wait for the right time, no way out then.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
