Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life

I like it too. I only live about 50 mile NE of the Navajo Reservation where it mostly takes place. I go to Monument Valley frequently to take pictures and I recognize several of the areas they use in the show. The one thing you have to remember is that it takes place in the 70's and everything is set in that era. I laughed when in a scene they used an old dial telephone, put me in their time for sure!

I like it. It is better than most of the crap that the major networks show us!

I'll be watching! Sam Darnold, QB for the SeaHawks, was QB for USC Trojans. I played for USC, but way, way before Sam did. FIGHT ON!

I seen them all (it's a series) a couple of times. I was a little disappointed in the actor they cast as Teddy Roosevelt, just didn't measure up to what I envisioned.

Sure looks like Lone Cone.

Ah yes....that is Lone Cone. The east side of it.

Gas here is $2.85 for 87 oct, diesel is 3.50

When I started driving in 1957, gas was less than .20 cents a gallon. (usually .17-.19. When there was a gas war it usually7 was .15.....and that was in California!! When I was in HS I had a part time job pumping gas in a gas station (Signal Gas Station). I think I was paid about .50 cents an hour plus I got a free tank of gas every week in my 1950 Chevy. I addition to pumping the customers gas, I cleaned the glass, checked the oil & air and all with smile! Those were the days.

I was working on the Apollo Project in Downey, Ca. at North American Aviation where we were building the command and service module. I was a sad day indeed. The 3 who perished in the fire were in the plant all the time. I was 26 back then and it was my first full time job after graduating from college.

Today's VA is very different than when I first went to them regarding my service connected disability. It is much easier dealing with them now. When I started 50 years ago, it was like a prizefight. I too have VA supplied hearing aids. They will replace them when they get too old. I am due for some this year. I ALWAYS get them to service/repair my old ones which I keep as spares just incase my current ones need to go in for repair. I live over 50 miles from a VA clinic and I use a local Audiologist which is under contract to the VA,

That doesn't make him smart.

I worked with the people from SpaceX and got to know some of them pretty well. I worked for one of their VicePresidents when we worked for another aerospace company. Lots of them were brilliant. Musk gave them a huge amount of responsibility in decision making. I really don't think he is as smart as some people think he is. What makes him a business whiz is getting the right people on his team, pay them exceeding well and let them run the programs.

He needs a knee scooter. I an ankle replacement a few years ago and had one and it was great.

I'm a Sam Darnold fan. He went to the same college I went to and played quarterback there too. I played there but a long time ago, I played freshman football in 1959 when freshman had to play freshman sports per NCAA rules at that time.
