William Young of Aiken fused railroads writing and photography into a career. He published a national mimeographed newsletter as a teen and now writes books and sells through railroad magazines and museums. His latest Short-Line Odyssey covers small Northeast railroads from 1940 to 1970.
A memoir fragment describes a woman and her family renting a beach house for six weeks and turning it into a DIY cleaning spree. The narrator admits she is one of these surrogate housekeepers who treat relaxation as a chance to scrub, wax, and tidy.
Erma Bombeck narrates a chaotic routine of family life in a churchy commune era, detailing cleaning rituals like toothbrush faucet scrubs and mail cross references. A crisis over a dying fig tree triggers a dramatic family departure, followed by a return to normalcy and lingering tension.
