Today's Memory Corner When I was just a young boy I had a great aunt that lived down near the Mississippi river. She had a goofy husband and two goofier sons my age. They lived in a four family flat that had just one cold water tap in the kitchen and a four family outhouse at the back of the yard. Saturday was bath day, in a wash tub on the kitchen floor. One tub, five people to use it when I was there. water was heated on the stove, one tea kettle at a time. The yard had chickens running around and Sunday the uncle would grab an ax and lop off the chicken's head and pluck it for supper. He never had a job, just got by hauling scrap iron to a salvage place, trapping pigeons by a school, fishing by where the city dumped its sewers into the river. I despised having to be there on some weekends.
