The pollution of the air and water in Crawford seems of little significance, but I just left San Francisco yesterday in a smog that has the same odor as the diesel truck on the streets of Crawford. In San Francisco there was a warning that all people with breathing problems should stay inside.
It may not be necessary to have a sense of smell to live, but it may be that some of the things we are doing in creating odors, is contributing to extinction of life on this planet. Will we lose the ozone layer, poison our environment, the air we breath, and the water we drink?
The hitching racks on Main Street in the early 1900s. The dust and flies always found their way into the open doors.
The Todd Livery Barn, where Dad would leave Charley when we went to Uncle Henry's. Where teams could be left for days and be certain they would be well cared for. Salesmen would rent teams as we now rent cars. Dr. Richards kept his horse and buggy here. He was present when my two brothers and I came into this world. Those were really house calls.
