Art was sitting at the counter as usual, at 6:00 a.m., in the Crosses Creek Cafe. A small rural cafe in Madison County Arkansas, he was more than welcome each morning when Sherry opened up. While waiting for the first pot of coffee to brew,as usual, he skimmed the help wanted ads in the local Nickle paper. Looking for anything that would add a few more dollars to his growing fund, he skipped the old ads that run every week, to look at the new ones. The old ads were the same, week after week, the wordings were different, but they all said the same thing. "WANTED~ young energetic person willing to work for slave wages~ Must know how to kiss bosses ass, and take orders from an idiot!" He spied a new ad he had not seen before. "WANTED~ Young man to live in, Room and Board supplied~Wages $150.00 per week~Take care of commercial chicken houses and chores around the house. Apply in person at Stillman's Farm,Rural Rte.#3, Patrick, Ar. between 8-4 daily."
Sherry placed a cup of coffee in front of me, noticing I was engrossed with something interesting in the paper said, "Whatcha find Art, a ticket outta here to the big city?" Smiling up at her, I folded the paper in half, laid it on the stool next to me, and told her, "Oh yeah Sherry, a luxury ticket for two, you and me, only problem is the plane took off yesterday." She laughed at the quip and returned to setting up for the breakfast run. "Hey Sherry, isn't the Stillman farm where that ol boy had a heart attack last year?" "Yeah, it sure is Art, why, did someone else have a heart attack down there?" No, it's just that the new owners have put an ad in for help on the farm, and I thought I might run down there and see what the deal is. The pay would just about be enough for tuition, and even have a few dollars left over, by not having any living expenses. "Great Art,...well here's your bacon and eggs with wheat toast,...ENJOY."
I would set the chairs down, sweep off the front porch, and pour coffee for an hour or so to pay for my meal. Sherry really didn't need me to do it, she just wanted to help me out, but I just couldn't take a handout without doing something for her in return. The breakfast run being light, I finished up a few little chores, and told Sherry I would stop back by to let her know how the job interview went. "Ok Hon, be careful and,... GOOD LUCK!" I had finished paying off the '92 Dodge van last year, and it was in tip top mechanical shape. Looking at my watch, it read 7:30, I would be a few minutes early, but I reasoned,...Better to be early than late!
