who cleaned it up with saddle soap. I told her, “Get that speck of &%*&...,” She said, “Go put a sock in it, Gawd’s sake, you just don’t ever quit!”
“Das Boot” was caught up in a war; A submarine is called a ”Boat” but the German says, “It’s a Boot,” as I, of course, was quick to note,
Shown here is one oil-painted “boat,” but where the other one might be-- I could have sworn I had a pair-- I guess THAT boot was lost at sea.
(Did I make myself quite clear?) No,huh?
