A Road Trip Romance Began 63 Years Ago
by Naomi Gary
Spring of 1946 at a Greyhound Bus Station in little Cheyenne Wells, Colorado and love was in the air for a couple of kids named Verneda and Russell.
"I was just reading a magazine, minding my own business" said Russell, "when the most beautiful girl walked by...when I got on that bus I took the opportunity to sit close to her."
He was 22 and she was 17. He was an Army sergeant. She worked at Montgomery Wards in Denver.
Later that summer, Russell had made up his mind to marry Verneda but never actually got around to asking her as planned. When they were driving home from picking Apricots, he suddenly slammed on the breaks and popped the question. Luckily, Verneda said yes quickly since they were stopped on a railroad track!
On August 10th, 1946 in Delhi, California, this happy couple joined in wedlock. And they've never looked in the rearview mirror since.

'They enforced their live strength with the power of dead things. Dead things did their
bidding.'

'I just imagine him sitting up there under a sea of papers and occasionally pulling one
from the bottom of a stack
(probably with a week-old donut smushed in the middle of the stack somewhere) and thinking "ah yes... I ought to do something about
this."'

Synapsids ("fused arch"), formerly known as "mammal-like reptiles", are a class of
amniotes (the other being the
sauropsids) that developed one hole in their skull (temporal fenestra) behind each eye, about 320 million years ago during the late
Carboniferous. The 4,500 species of living
synapsids, known as mammals, are currently the dominant land animals, and include both aquatic (whales) and avian (bats) species, and the
largest animal ever known to
have existed (the blue whale).

'Having an infant is largely sleep deprivation combined with janitorial duties. Sort of like
being in a Vietnamese prison

'The female accepts a male who keeps up adequately during the dance, and rejects one
who does not. The female is,
therefore, extremely discriminating; in contrast, a male will dance with and attempt to mount a blob of wax on the end of a bristle, moved in an
appropriate side-to-side
manner and then held still.'
