My 16th birthday was on a Sunday, and the very next day I had my driver's license. Just a few weeks later I was driving 30 miles into the Big City, with five other teens in the car, going to the multiplex movie theater on a Saturday night.

Nowadays they have these "graduated" driver's licenses, and sixteen-year-olds are only allowed to have one passenger in the car with them.
He bought that M1A1 back in 1968, after he caught a couple guys trying to steal some of his cows. All he had at the time was a 20-gauge shotgun loaded with rocksalt, that he kept on a scabbard on his Moped scooter* for chasing off dogs.

*in the days before ATVs he used a Moped to round up his cows and herd them from field to field.
During the Civil War and the Union occupation afterwards, there weren't many Mardi Gras celebrations. Joe Cain is credited with bringing back the parades in this area in 1868.

Now, the Sunday before Fat Tuesday is called Joe Cain Day and they have their own unique parades and celebrations....including a procession of 20 of Joe Cain's Merry Widows to the cemetery where he is buried.
