My dad used to take me to the dump to shoot rats at night. You just had to call the owner first to get permission.

I remember one time my mother saw some glamorous movie star in a magazine. She took the magazine to the hairdresser and had her hair done just like the picture.

She pestered my dad all day to take her out somewhere, since she had a new hairdoo.

You guessed it............, he took her out to the dump to shoot rats!

(note: They managed to stay married almost 30 years, she went to girly stuff with her girlfriends, he bowled, golfed, hunted and fished with the guys.)

I always had fun at the dump. That was where I shot a centerfire revolver for the 1st time. Dad let me shoot his S&W K frame with a 4-1/2" barrel. That's one of the days you never forget!

I miss the dump too!
