The big blizzard missed LW. Everybody remembers close calls with blizzards. It's hard for men to turn around. Tremendous driving skill won't help if you can't see anything. GK opened the door and followed the track of his left front tire until the car went into the ditch. He was just a quarter mile away so he walked home. He and his son went to dig out the car. A neighbor with a tractor hauled him out. He took a run at the big drift in the driveway. His 3-year old son was standing in the front seat. He grabbed him just before the car hit and stopped dead. Mavis Beelor hasn't torn up Jimmy's tickets to the Mammoth concert. His father said that he would do his duty and tear up the tickets. Mavis reminded him of the elephant at the one-ring Nobles and Norman Circus. The kids thought the circus was wonderful. Ed and the six kids were leaving in the VW when they saw Mazumbo staked out in the field. They drove over to feed Mazumbo from their month's supply of peanuts. The oldest child fed Mazumbo first. Then each child fed Mazumbo in turn. Mazumbo put her trunk into the car and felt around. They fed Mazumbo until they ran out of peanuts. Ed tried to keep calm. He fed Mazumbo Oreos and candy bars. Mazumbo lifted her trunk and raised the car two feet. He backed away and Mazumbo slowly withdrew her trunk. The kids thought it was the best fun in their lives. When Ed becomes very authoritative, Mavis just says, 'Elephants.' The only thing that we have when we are in big trouble is each other.
