The best beauty is on the inside. A lot of the girls that were considered attractive when I was in high school have had multiple husbands. Men were chasing the wrong thing.
I won a shotgun in the 8th or 9th grade in school selling magazine subscriptions for a FFA fund raiser. So did another student and one got a big hunting knife. The school had an assembly for the presentations of them. We didn't know until they called our name. I carried that gun more than once...
The post with Frank Sinatra getting out of the chopper brought back an old personal memory. When my mom was a newly wed she went down to FL's lower east coast with her new mother-in-law to a family gathering. One of the girls was a caterer and told her she didn't need to sit around with the...

I'm so old I remember when backyard chickens where a way of life in small town America and there was no internet to talk about our flocks. Way back in the 1950's. Murray McMurray, Strombergs, and Cackle where the catalogs of dreams for small time poultry owners. You could still buy Pure White...
I'm so old I remember the man that stood on street corners in Detroit, MI, dressed in old cloths, and shook a handful of the colored comics out of the news paper at cars as they drove by. An aunt of mine later told me that the man was a well to do businessman that just wanted to make people...
I remember when pickup trucks were low cost vehicles. It seems like the movie Urban Cowboy changed all that. I saw a new pickup at a gas station filling up with the sticker still in the window. 80+ K was sticker shock. I managed to drive home ok.
I well remember the famous bumper sticker of the mid sixties that read "It's Getting Harder to Support the Government in the Manor it has become accustomed to." That's how I remember it. I may be a tad off but all the meaning is there.
