I grew up on the front range in Colorado, my mom was born and raised on the western slope. We go a couple a couple of three times a years to camp, hunt, visit family. When we went camping was were always next to a creek/stream. That creek/stream provided the water for cooking/cleaning/fishing. That cleaning part was also my folks sending me and my brothers with a bar of soap to take a "bath". Yes, we stripped down to our birthday suits and hopped in. Can't do that these days as there are too many people from out of state that go there now. Plus, the water is way too cold now for some reason! No oil, though!
Spent almost four years (1950-54) of my youth growing up here at Fort Brooke in Puerto Rico’s 16th Century El Morro fortress.
Yep, and we don’t need no stinking vaccines either……Quote:

I remember starting grade school. I remember it was kind of a terrifying time. Made us go into a dressing room at the school and change into a white smock type outfit. Then we stood in a line, getting examined by doctors and nurses. Then the screaming started. The beginning of the line got to the end where you got your shots. Suprise.The smock thing was bad enough. Kids freaking out on a large scale. Measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, and you still had to worry about mumps (whatever those were) Scarlet fever, strep throat, trench mouth, mononucleosis. After all of that, I had every one of those except for whooping cough. The wife and I are pretty sure that we had some type of covid/flu from the beginning of Jan. to the middle of Feb. Our tastebuds are still screwed up. Wife was vaccinated; I am not. We both got just as sick, for just as long, with the same aftereffects...................................... ....Quote:

Yeah...never really got into the whole Star Wars thing myself. Pretty cool video just the same.
