Nothing like an overripe persimmon to the back of your head/neck.

What ever happened to the multiflora hedges that divided the Interstate highw loopays?

My Daddy told me they were man high and hog wide and used for fences.

Who was too busy driving to sight see.

Here in Iowa we have multiflora rose in pastures up and down the Cedar River Valley. Nothing seems to kill it, and it does function as a fence, terrible to try to get through! 😖
Now the road ditches and some pastures still have hemp plants growing in them, from another of the government's great ideas and plans! 😋 Useless for anything except getting some kids excited when they are 12y.o. County sends out notices to farmers to remove it, but that typically means running a cycle bar mower or a brush hog over it once a year.
 
At my childhood home, the house next door had a massive horse chestnut tree. Stunk like crabmeat when it bloomed.
And yes, those spikes hurt when they made contact.
We used to take the chestnuts and line them up in the road so the cars tires would run them over one after another.
Some drivers actually got what we were trying to do and would follow the line, squishing the nuts.
We'd stand on the side walk, jumping up and down and cheering.
It was cool.
But kinda dumb. Never crossed our little minds that we coulda got run over. :rolleyes:

Black walnuts and hickory nuts will raise a knot on your head like a rock got you! The walnuts would also stain you,old school paint ball that didn't come off forever. Made our spears from milkweed plants,short range but large caliber hurt. Drift on!
 
My story is my wife and my adult kids took a pub tour with friends to Ireland. One kid not mine was already drinking while waiting for the bus to go to the airport. At one pub the bartender told my son somethings wrong with that kid. The yank out drinks everyone in the pub. My son said the kid out drank everyone in every pub. Lol the yank made us proud. Lmao

I stopped drinking around 23yo. I still have a nip at the holidays.
