twisted or ankle cross over ? part 1
Skaterina sleeps on her back
it is the most comfortable position
when she crashed the DKW in the ditch on Wilson Mesa
she "high sided"
tore. sprained or ripped her groin ligaments on the right
she had to sleep on her back with a pillow under her knees
or else spend the night in pain
MM pissed and moaned, complained and groaned bc she wd not
go to the hospital
she knew what they wd say
feet up, rest, take it easy
but, he thought, they wd give her some drugs for the pain
oh yeah
he had to make his own coffee
poor him
she also had a small gash on her head
he fixed that with a "butterfly"
they were living in an old cabin called the Homestead
the cabin was half way built into the ground
you went down some stairs, about 4 or 5, there was a door
push the door and in you went
small space with a loft for sleeping
MM decided the stairs should be on the inside !
he had begun digging out the area
friends from Topanga showed up unexpectedly
it rained so they had to stay over
mud in SE Utah is like fudge
there is no driving through it
so the man friend helped dig out the pit where the new steps wd go
when that part of the project was over
there was a Big Pile of Dirt
more pissing and moaning about having to move the Big Pile of Dirt !
Skaterina was toddling around using a chair for a "walker"
to shut him up she said
I'll move the Big Pile
he sat back to see if she meant it
she did
she got a bucket and shovel
leaning on the flimsy chair she filled the bucket and carried it away
the next day she did two buckets, then three, and so on
until she carried first 5 a day to 10 a day
old MM cdnt believe his eyes
do you think he might have helped ?
Ha !
so she moved the pile and that was that
it took a long time / weeks !
bc the bucket was smallish else she wd not have been able to lift it,
carry it, and manipulate the chair and gimpy leg
she doesnt recall a Thank YOu
he just looked at her
some years later during late night merriment at Happy Trail
he told the story of how she moved the BigPile
and what he learned from her doin it
cant remember what he learned except maybe how to make his own coffee
well, he is dead now, and cant rush to his defense
is there a pattern here for Skaterina ?
like how she seems to get involved with men who are
Horse's Asses ?

Ha Ha! Or maybe it's as my mother-in-law said in response to a comment I made, similar to yours about always getting involved with horse's asses:
"There ARE no nice men."
I find they are always very NOT horse's asses in the beginning, but later ... well. They disappoint. Surely it works the other way 'round too?
I love your stories, your history. After all these years, only now getting to know you better.
