I wanna again welcome you to the 4:05 Coffee Break. Guys, get your cup of coffee, glass iced tea, beverage of your choice. Let's see what's happening out there. Spring wheat, $6.03 a bushel. $6.03, 550 pounds steer calf, $3.93 a pound.

OK Solberg: 00:19

Butcher hog in Omaha, 62¢, and a 100 pound fat lamb in Billings will fetch you $2.17 going down a bit. But guys, there's more, much more. Okay, okay. I thought it over carefully. I didn't rush.

OK Solberg: 00:36

I took it step by step. See, to be perfectly honest, I gave it the attention it deserved and after careful contemplation, I decided to give you the whole kit and caboodle. Now, at first blush, I had decided to give you the whole nine yards, but considering the time we've spent together, that didn't seem quite right. I reflected on giving it to you from stem to stern, but I didn't want to cut you short. I thought to myself, I'd like to give them the whole shebang, lock, stock, and barrel, but when given the whole ball of wax, you sometimes inadvertently leave something out.

OK Solberg: 01:18

I finally said, I know, I'll give them the whole enchilada. Thea said, no. Some don't like onions. And it was then that I landed on it. Sure.

OK Solberg: 01:29

Sure. I'll give them the whole kit and caboodle. Okay. So do tell, how is that done? Well, on this program I share just about anything from old Phillips County newspaper articles to great music from the sixties and seventies.

OK Solberg: 01:50

You know, I often share a poem, I like talking about baseball. Cars are a topic we cover often. Words get covered and so do making quilts. See guys, this program is very similar to making a quilt. You cut this piece out for there and that piece out for in the center and the border gets those pieces with the bright yellow accent.

OK Solberg: 02:17

Individually, each piece is nothing special. But put it all together and it makes a whole. And I don't mean a hole you fall into, I mean a hole like the whole nine yards. But while we're on the topic, have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a half a hole? That one's confused me.

OK Solberg: 02:40

You know, if you figure it out, please let me know. So in the process of giving you the whole kit and caboodle, I found this neat article in the PCN from Thursday, 04/13/1961. Here's a picture of two sisters. Two sisters, Smilin', Leila and Linda Humbert, daughter of mister and missus Clarence Humbert, and both girls were getting married. Ain't that neat?

OK Solberg: 03:11

In baseball, we have to remember that the Chicago Cubs once went one hundred and eight years without a World Series title. They won it 1908 and had to wait till 2016 for the next World Series title. Can you believe it? I hope to shout. That's a long wait for Cubs fans.

OK Solberg: 03:34

When it comes to cars, well, some people prefer automobiles. When it comes to automobiles, we often think of the Mustang or the Charger or even the Chevy Camaro. But hands down, bar none, without a doubt, the biggest seller of one model car in the history of automobiles is the Toyota Corolla. Did you realize that since 1966 there have been over 50,000,000 units manufactured? The Corolla has been offered in sedan, hatchback, wagon and coupe.

OK Solberg: 04:15

Now in the music history, the best selling single of the sixties was White Christmas by Bing Crosby, but since it was originally released in the nineteen forties, it doesn't count as a sixties release. So the number one most sold single of the 1960s was I Wanna Hold Your Hand by the Beatles. And it sold over 12,000,000 copies. Now in the poetry world, for poems that Orvin enjoy has to go to Ogden Nash, not for his Lucy poem. Lucy met the train, the train met Lucy, the track was juicy, the juice was Lucy.

OK Solberg: 04:58

No, not that one. Another one titled A Flea and a Fly and a Flu. Yes, it goes like this. A flea and a fly and a flu were imprisoned, so what could they do? Said the fly, let us flee, let us fly, said the flea.

OK Solberg: 05:16

So they flew through a flaw in the flu. And there you have it, concocted especially for you and it's wrapped with a bow and I believe we can honestly say it's the whole kit and caboodle. No way, Orvin, you didn't have a bible verse, you always have a bible verse. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's correct. Listen, Ecclesiastes 8-15.

OK Solberg: 05:41

So I commend the enjoyment of life. Really? That's in the Bible? Read it again. So I commend the enjoyment of life because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad.

OK Solberg: 05:58

Yes, sir. I think that wraps it all up quite nicely. It's now fair to say I gave you the whole kit and caboodle. So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
