    My gang celebrated Earth Day for at least 20 years ... always a bonfire with the rules of "bring your own beer and brickabrack (for the extra smoke offering)". The best I can remember was in 1992 when we still had beer left but the fire was dwindling and there were no more old tires or paint cans to feed it. Our "host" that year remembered he had an old, cracked, 17 foot fiberglass canoe shoved back in an old shed .... that made a great colored smoke offering to Gaia and allowed us to pleasantly finish the remaining beer. I miss those days.

    Ahhhh the good old days.

    I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
    "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
    " prepared for what" he asked?
    "more stuff than you are"

    I can’t help but remember this movie when I see the B-52’s taking off.

    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???

    I remember when the BUFFs warmed up at Bergstrom about 6 or7 miles away from our South Austin home in the early 1960s.
    The windows on our house rattled with all the really loud rumbling.
    Awesome flying machines!
