SOCS – itch
For Linda’s challenge:
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS July 27, 2024
***
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ends with ‘itch.’” Find a word that ends with “itch” or use the word “itch.” Enjoy!
***
So, here are some words that have those ‘itch’ letters in them.
- Bitch = a female dog, or an insult directed at someone
- Ditch = a depression or dug out place in the ground, or to suddenly leave a place or person
- Glitch = something that goes wrong in most likely an electronic machine
- Hitch = a fastening place like a gate lock, or a place to tie up your horse
- Itch = an urge to scratch somewhere on your body, or a need to do something satisfying
- Mitch = a name
- Pitch = a way of throwing a ball, or a playing field in some games, or roofing goo, like tar.
- Stitch = a sewing term, or a pain in your side when running
- Titch = a small amount
- Witch = a person who is suspected of casting spells

Now, I’ll expand, or rather expound on a couple of these.
# 2 Ditch … There was a place in our front yard that was a little lower than the rest of the yard. It was always there, sort of a long hollowed out space, though it was grassy just like the rest of the yard. When I was a kid, I called it our ‘buffalo wallow’. That’s because I figured that way back in olden days, when buffalo roamed the prairies, they stopped in our yard to wallow around on the ground and it hollowed out this depression in the yard. Could be true…right?
#4 Hitch … Remember the days of the western TV shows? They all rode their horses to town, and tied their reins up at the hitching post in front of the saloon or general store. Well, those days are still here, sort of. Our local grocery store does still have a hitching post out front. I’ve seen horses there lots of times, that people have ridden up to get get their groceries.
Here’s my older post of that:
When you ride your horse to the grocery store, do you have trouble finding a parking spot?
If you live in my city, you won’t have any problems. The local grocery store has provided a hitching post for shopper’s convenience. Now you have a special place to leave your horse, while you shop.
The hitching post is on a grassy area right next to the car parking lot. It isn’t unusual to see people riding their horses down the street, or around 
the playa lake by our house. It’s no different, seeing a horse patiently waiting, there at the grocery store hitching post.
So get your boots on, saddle up, and ride on over.

# 6 Mitch … Anyone remember the TV show Sing Along With Mitch? We watched it all the time. Mitch Miller was the host,and he presented people singing familiar songs, and on the screen the words to the songs would be shown. He would urge the television watching people to ‘sing along’. Now it seems it was foreshadowing today’s way of watching music videos with the lyrics on there, doesn’t it.

And with that catchy song, I will wish you a Happy Saturday! 🙂
