We had to travel to the village yesterday, the van had to be repaired and we had to get some groceries. Coupon heaven, I was in. I love my coupons. I try hard to stretch that dollar as far as it will go. Sometimes the cashiers are truly amazed at my coupons. Many times the folks behind me in line are frustrated; thinking to themselves - ah, this stupid woman and her coupons. It does take all kinds to make the world go around.
While grocery shopping, two men winked at me! That is right - me! I could not believe it; I have not been winked at in years. I wrote it all down as a good hair day and the progress of man!
...then the coal company came with the worlds' largest shovel
and they tortured the timber and left all the land
well, they dug for their coal til the land was forsaken
then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
and daddy won't you take me back to Mulhenburg County
down by the Green River where Paradise lay
well, I am sorry my son - but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
John Prine - Paradise
