I cleaned house for a little sweet lady nemed Irene. She would tell me stories...One was when she was in elementary school, she would have to ride the trolley from her neighborhood to school. The conductor was not a nice man and when the kids got off the trolley, they would stick their gum in the bells to keep them buzzing. The old conductor would have to pull all the gum out of the bells to get them to go off. I see the name "Irene" I think of a little girl mis-behaving on the trolley.
I pray that hurricane "Irene" miss everyone.
