As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave side service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper´s cemetery in the Kentucky back-country.. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost; and being a typical man I didn´t stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn´t know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I´ve never played before for this homeless man. And as I played ´Amazing Grace,´ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car.. Though my head hung low my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, " I never seen nothin´ like that before, and I´ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN Florida IN JULY WHEN... ~ The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground. ~ The trees are whistling for the dogs. ~ The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. ~ Hot water now comes out of both taps. ~ You can make sun tea instantly. ~ You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. ~ The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. ~ You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. ~ You discover you can get sunburned through your car window. ~ You actually burn your hand opening the car door. ~ You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. ~ Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" ~ You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. ~ The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. ~ Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. ~ The cows are giving evaporated milk. ............Ah, what a place to call home
