These aren't the stories your mother told you.

No, these are the other stories.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens.

This is Luke from The Other stories. We just received a brand

new patron called Kev Man. Did you know that Kev, along with being an excellent guy, and along

with our other patrons, just got access to our bonus Q&A episode. He'll also get our upcoming

fiction and non-fiction books and monthly bonus exclusive episodes,

and there's tons of those.

That's right, Kev is living the higher life, let me tell you.

So if you want to join him, head over to patreon.com forward slash hawk and cleaver

and plies from as little as a dollar a month for today.

Not only will you be supporting the show and helping to keep us going,

but you'll also get access to all of the excellent stuff that I just mentioned. So today's episode of the other stories is

A couple of times each year, my brother and I would cough up the 25 cents at cost

to take the ferry across the lake to Quinville.

We'd blow the rest of whatever money we had at the orange shop
