Sparky's stuff

This is the miscellaneous stuff - obviously. Where else would one put their Silly Putty certificate, or a story about a cat who like to ride in the truck?

"Shacklett's Household Hints and Wild Life Advice" came from an idea in the long ago past about writing an advice column in a newspaper about living a wild life.

And, Sparky? Some of you are familiar with that nickname and some aren't. It's taken several forms over the years - Sparky, Sparkit, sparx, Sparkette, and so on.
