We soon forget Taps. Over here men were desperate to even get a day haymaking just to exist. Of course times get better until the next time.

Writing that puts the reader
right there with the scene and people; you are really talented, TAPS! Sometimes I think our current stock market situation mirrors what happened back then; kind of eerie because the "gambling" has the potential to cut a huge swath of loss, in and out of stocks..

I cannot imagine how chaotic those days were for so many. Everything seemed to be humming along and then bam.

My dad was driving a Montreal cab the winter of the year the market crashed, no heater in that old jalopy and he froze his feet. Great post love.

I am always amazed at how those business men jumped and left widows and children to struggle on without them.
