Cracked hands & fingers from chemicals & water
If you are reading this post, chances are that you hands and fingers get those painful and unsightly cracks on them. Most anyone that details autos or boats, clean guns, antiques, molds or anything where you might use metal polish runs into this problem. If you use nitrile gloves this does help, but you probably are washing your hands a lot. We were told about this product by a man that does landscaping. He swore by it. Its called O’Keeffe’s Working Hands. Here is our review of O’Keeffe’s. It comes in a small jar that you can keep right in your pocket or work bench. It is a soft but firm cream that spreads on easily. It has no odor that we noticed, nor was it greasy at all. The big deal about this product was that in a couple of days our cracks were healed and have been staying that way for over 2 weeks. We recommend that you try some O’Keeffe’s. They even make a kind that is a little different for your feet, called O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet. If your washing equipment even your feet maybe getting wet which leads to a similar problem. If you can’t find it at a store near you, it can be had from our recommended online metal polish supplier. Click here if you would like to order some with your next metal polish order.

Bernice Madigan, Massachusetts newest Super Centenarian
This post is certainly off topic, but it seems when Massachusetts oldest living person at 110 years old invites you to her birthday party, all should make note of it. Bernice Madigan was born July 24th, 1899 and spent her early youth in Cheshire. After graduating from Adams High School, she passed her civil service exam and moved to Washington. She lived there for nearly 90 years working before she retired at the Veteran’s Administration and then the Treasury. “Aunt Bennie” as she is known by the locals here remembers every inauguration from Warren G. Harding. For those of you weak in history that list would also include Calvin Coolage, Herbert Clark Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight David Eisenhower, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Richard Milhous Nixon, Gerald Rudolph Ford, James Earl Carter, Jr, Ronald Wilson Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, George Walker Bush and Barack Hussein Obama. Aunt Bennie is sharp as can be, fun to talk with and spry for any age.
The pictures below show her riding on the Hoosac Hose Company’s (Cheshire Fire Department) 1935 Diamond T Pumper truck. Aunt Bennie climbed right up onto that truck and rode around the barn at Rolling Acres Farm where she now makes her home. The beautiful farm is owned by the Daniels family. Elaine Daniels is Aunt Bennies’ niece. In the last picture Aunt Bennie meets and prepares to steal a kiss from what may well be the tallest fireman in Massachusetts…….

It was a dull and drizzly day, but there were a number of Corvettes that were fun to view and a nice way to spend Fathers Day . Corvettes of Berkshire sponsored the show with proceeds benefiting the Berkshire Eagle Santa Toy Fund. If you are interested in the club click here for more information. A few pictures of the show are below.
