How’s this for an amazing coincidence?

Believe it or not, today is Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th president of the United States, birthday.  He was born in Delaware, Ohio, in 1822.

Pictured below is not his barn.  In fact, I don’t know where his barn is, or even if he had one.  Never been to Delaware.  The town in Ohio, or the state.  BUT, this IS the barn of  Alfred Clampett.  He is one of the distant relatives of Bob Clampett, who created Porky Pig in 1935, which is exactly 113 years after Hayes was born.  NOW, stay with me here. You can sort of see an imprint of Porky on one of the panels of the barn.  Porky’s first film, entitled “I Haven’t Got A Hat” was set in scenic Delaware.  See how this is coming around??? And to top it all off, one of Rutherford B. Hayes’ favorite meals was cured ham (with cooked potatoes and corn).   Now, here’s where it gets totally creepy.  There is a corn field rigth behind this barn.  There are 113 rows.  Talk about serendipity.
