Forty Rod SASS 3935

That's the source. It's framed on my wall. It's sad how few know od Bill Mauldin. I have a very nice copy of Up Front (a marvelous book) and a nicer copy of Back Home (Not nearly as good). An the the shirt I saw but don't own.

I find that I learn a lot of useless stuff every day even when I try hard not learn ANYTHING! I also suspect that a lot runs out my ears to make room for the new stuff and vanishes. It might roll under a chair or get run down a drain when I shower or simply blow away. Some gets tangled in the collar or on the shoulder of whatever I'm wearing and it gets back in and crop up from time to time. I'm also convinced that a rather large percentage of people I meet, see on TV, hear on the radio, or read about, are causing my IQ to drop a few points every day. Sometimes I can feel it getting lower as it's happening.

As all letters mailed from Prescott Valley have post marks from Phoenix (93 miles south of here) they'd likely track me down from my return address stickers.

About time.

I get B-12 in tablets from the VA. They don't help much.

"I'm a fugitive from the law of averages." Sure wish I had a picture of the shirt, but I don't.

Pryers and best wishes for you both.

She's not the best I ever saw....but she could well be very soon. Keep an eye on her.

Why not? Damn near everyone else gets in when ever and where ever they want to.

Yeah, man. Don't risk freezing something off that you're still using....or might use again sometime down the road.

Yerazz!!!!

I traveled a lot, to 47 states and seven foreign countries, by plane, ship, train, and car, and had no passport ever. Military orders never required anything else.

Seen one or two fly, but never rode one. My most enjoyable flight was in a Beech D-17 stagger wing. Luxurious and elegant

re was a man whose fairly famous name I can't recall who made wonderful trompe l'oeill (sp?)....."fool the eye"..... pictures of guns for magazines. He had a series that he was selling as "framable art" and I had six or seven of them. They vanished when I went into the Army in 1965. I's like to find them again but probably can't afford them now.

There are still some around, but not as common as they once were. Saw several telephone booths recently. They are in an antique store here in town and they are asking about half of what I paid for my first house. I's like one of the old wooden ones but have several "don't knows". Why I want it, where I'd put it, what I'd use it for, etc.

Noah was called a conspiracy theorist. Then I began to rain.

Flying Saucers Are Real by Donald Keyhoe was what started me watching the sky....along about 1953 it was.

I know how to tie a Windsor knot but both the Army and Marine Corps made us wear a four-in-hand knot, so I know both....but I never used a four-in-hand after I left the Corps.

Hmmmmmm. I got out of that one better than I expected....and better than I deserve. Whew!

Oh, yeah. You're a graduate of the public school system. Right?

I called a local radio station a few years ago after they were telling everyone that were were going to get 85% chance of snow and 10-15 mph winds. I asked the guy who answered the phone if they had even so much as looked outside. We had so much snow that the visibility was about 50 feet and the winds were pushing 50 mph. He told me that they checked with the National Weather Service and that's what they broadcasted. Hell, the NWS doesn't even know where Arizona is, much less what our weather here is at any given time.

American Western Arms (AWA) made two models and both came in two conditions: really great and terrible. I have two 5 1/2" .45s that are as good as any SAAs I've ever owned (a bunch). I replaced the springs and cylinder pins, but have nothing else to them and thay are gaining on 30 years old an have no problems

They make great hats. I'll pay shipping if any of you want to get rid of some of the pelts.

Chimp is a lot smarter than the idiots who were messing with him. Give 'em hell Harry......or is that Hairy?

Bed Wetter is close, but I won't even think of mentioning that. Oops!
