Extra
General Custer, the Civil War.
Looking for trouble; that’s the right attitude.
The labor work I did; excuse me I need the money:
Sweeping floors, washing dishes, cutting grass, shoveling snow, raking leaves, some factory work.
Honest work I suppose.
Out of the green and into the blue (rock band Talking Heads).
Blue the warmest color, red for courage, silver for talent.
