Muncie & Ball State

MUNCIE, MASON, BALL U & DICKS Drove my in-laws to a wedding, turned into quite a haul. Not invited, I had time left over after finding Muncie and Ball. A stranger in paradise with nothing to do, I tooled the campus of magnificent Ball U. Only in America, could this location be true. The North end of South Dicks, runs into Ball U. Certainly not the first or last man alive, conjuring the humor of this union, after a boring, six hour drive. Fast forward to the present, although technically still alive. Estate plans and lawyers are important if found unable to thrive. Wanting cremation and thinking of a suitable urn, needed something big to hold my “stuff” after I burn. Searching the net for a perfect and sentimental fit. Thanks to Ebay, I said; “Damn, that’s got to be it!” That Ebay search turned up a Blue “Perfect Mason Ball” jar. The ½ gallon size fits in the crowded trunk of a family car. A homage to my passed mother, whose canning didn’t quit. Perfect Blue eyes, middle name is Mason, everything should fit. 20 years ago I went to Muncie, the memory still sticks. I request old Masons’ ashes be spread, where Ball U, hangs over the Dicks! *100% true story about Muncie Indiana and Ball State Univ named after the Ball company that makes Perfect Mason, Blue and Green canning jars. The streets intersect the campus.
