I Can't Have It


 Image result for hog oiler

Yesterday I told BBBH I wanted a hog oiler as decor in our front yard.

"No!" she said, "we are not hillbillies."


I'm hurt.  I had this wonderful idea.  Setting a hog oiler beside the sidewalk leading to our front door with a nice concrete, or fiberglass, Poland China rubbing up against it would be a fantastic representation of the economic contribution of our bailiwick.  Not going to happen, but imagine it with me.  Wouldn't it be great!

Today is the first time that I heard about a hog oiler. An interesting device it is. I think your proposition would be a very positive addition to the cultural and educational aspects of your town.

Chuck, I am happy to be a contributor to your treasure trove of knowledge.

But Poland Chinas originated in Ohio...

Grace, yes, they did; but they are mighty fine looking hogs! (A lot of Durocs and Hampshires around here, too.)

Huh- never heard of a hog oiler, but I was once thinking of writing a book about my (few) years spent in Indiana. The title was going to be "Hot Tar and Pigs"

I have no idea what that is, but it looks like I could wipe my shoes on it. ;)

Sharkey, apt title. Guess you have been busied with many other projects.

Lin, it's about 150 pounds of cast iron. Wipe away.

Vee, I might have known you would side with her.
