Nope, the free and easy times for me were the early 60's. Damned fortunate that I was able to stay free. Actually I didn't always stay unfettered. I got invited on multiple occasions to enjoy overnight accommodations, thanks to the constabulary, throughout Texas and Mexico. Then there were overnight stays in Alabama and New Mexico. Mix malt and hops with a curious, somewhat pugnacious, nature and I sometimes didn't have to pay for a motel room. I tried marijuana once and couldn't see that it had an edge over Budweiser so have always left it alone. I had itchy feet and a perennial hangover. How did I live through it?


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
