prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Munsonville, New Hampshire.

A distant cousin of mine, Alvin Munson was born in 1802. He was a manufacturer of cotton goods in Nelson, New Hampshire. When a Post office was to be  established, he gave $200 for beginning a library, in consideration of which the name of the village was changed to Munsonville. $200 was a lot of money in the 1800s.
