SIGNS, SIGNS: Pazol's


 nearly 100 years here
prominent bus'ness

Back in the 1950s, my younger brother and I
had saved and saved to buy our mother
two good-sized ceramic pieces-
a matador and bull- for Christmas.
At that time, the original founder and owner
was a nice man named Herb Pazol.
Unknown to me at that time,
he was part of the proud history
of Jewish businessmen in Muncie. 
One paper written about him and other
Jewish businessmen can be found here.

I agree, Pat, thanks for dropping by!

It's nice to see some family owned businesses are still around. I bet your mom was surprised with her presents. :)

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
