marijuana here in Colorado is semi legal, well that is the way I would put it. I don't know how many used to smoke it many years ago and if you did and still do. you will see that it is at least 75% stronger and getting stronger as time passes.  I am in such pain I would try anything to stop it.  Only thing stopping me from buying it legal is the price of the whole thing,  Last time I checked it out it started somewhere around $280, and that to just get started.  Not all doctors can prescribe pot , you have to go to certain ones. A hundred to the doctor, another hundred to the state and at last eighty to by the stuff.  Now that was two years ago here in Fort Collins, a little town with a big state university .  I am sure with inflation it has gone up. Anyone got a spare three hundred bucks just laying around ? LOL

Since most folks here will fill out the part for the email , I am just going to ask. Jack one question ; How come you would not give me a ride to school. How could you just drive by and not even look my way.  And there were a few times I know you saw me walking up Garza and just passed me on by.  Oh well.
Being poor I could never afford a motor home.  The wife and I just have a two man tent and sleeping bags, and her wedding gift from me, a 357 and I always take my fishing gear and my dad's old 12 gauge.  Sleep like a baby ,  and if a bear did decide to snack on us the tent would be just like a large sandwich bag.  If the weather got to bad we would put the dogs on the front seat and we would get in the back.
Hey , SNL , do you still have Fran Delao phone number and maybe Ricky Mitchells also, and address for Ricky would be great.

You can probably count on the moving target theory [smile]  Certainly glad that the weatherman got the rain, sleet and snow wrong this time!  I expected not to be able to do anything for a couple of days and, although it is cold - it is at least dry.  We do have a few what I refer to as crazy people [eek] that are actually on jet skis on the lake.  Now I can understand a boat and fishing - kind of!  You can put a coat, gloves and a hat on  - - - -but on a jet ski you are almost certainly going to get your legs and feet wet and if you are not careful other body parts.  Just crazy!  The water is usually warm enough for me by say July or August!!!!!  [biggrin] [tongue]  [rofl]

John,Marty is still a dancing fool. He and his partner won the state of Texas push dancing contest a few years ago. His leg is much better and he keeps on dancing. He was at the last class of '63 reunion that Sandy Lynn attended to see some of her friends from that class. I would have had Marty look her up had I known both were going to be there.
Marty retired to Lake Tawakoni and the group in his camp calls him Catfish Smith.

Shortcake I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. RVing is great and is very popular as are Rod's travel trailers. The travel parks are clean and neat, with pads to park on and friendly people to meet. There are lots of ways to travel and to each his own. Years ago, when the ground was soft, I enjoyed camping out, cooking over an open fire and sleeping on the ground. Gravity must be stronger now, as I find it is much harder to get up off the ground. My Dad traveled for a living, so whenever he was going somewhere, the object was to get from point A to point B. We stopped for gas or to eat or to spend the night. It has taken me a while to change from his way, but now if we see something along the way, stop and see what it is. I have also found that I enjoy traveling the "back" roads some too. As with so many things, there is no right or wrong way, just the way that suits you best. It is easy to see how much you and Bobby enjoy your trips. It is either that or you know it is harder to hit a moving target.

Memo To Sam Smith:

Sam, I'm surprised to learn that you are related to Marty Smith. (Mostly, I am surprised you'd admit it in a public forum like this). I met Marty in our days at Zumwalt and he was a VERY smooth dancer way back then. I never figured out how he got to be SO good. And 40 yrs. later he was still awesome on the dance floor at reunions.

At SOC he was active in ROTC and the Golden Grenadiers. But he excelled at being the Bear Mascot, probably still has the outfit (ha). Reagan Turman would have been several years younger, so I doubt that he'd know him. However, it is rumored that there is that "secret society" of former Bear Mascots, so they could have crossed paths.

Now a few years back he (Marty) broke his leg stepping into a fishing boat, so I can't confirm that he's still got it (although he could probably outdance most of us on 1 leg). He has a birthday coming up, so I'd better beat it on over to the Dollar Store and do some shopping.

Shortcake, you are right, RVing isn't for everyone but we don't stay in motels, we have a travel trailer and like you, we pull over, open the slide-out and we are home for the night. We like the back roads in the mountains so we went with the trailer and truck. We are looking at going a little bigger but will stay with the trailer. So far we haven't been frisked by Smokey the Bear.

Jack - Emerson is absolutely adorable & Holden has grown up.  Nice looking young man.  Are you sure they are YOUR Grandones?? [wink]

Toni - Life is funny when it comes to neighbors, especially those that are from a different culture than we have grown up with.  Maybe if he & Bruce become "neighbor friendly" it will make it easier to ask him to turn down the exceptionally loud music!  Maybe his culture thinks that is normal and no one ever complained.  I'm not defending how they have over-stepped the boundaries of being a good neighbor, but it's a different world and we live next door to people we've previously not been exposed to.  I understand, our next door neighbors were born and raised, until about 15 yrs ago, in India.  They have "guests" nearly every wkend that stay over night & they park everywhere.  I've had to, very nicely and with the best smile and kindest voice I could muster, ask him to please have all his friends park in front of his house rather than mine (especially in front of my mailbox), for his twin boys to stop throwing their trash & bottles in our yard, that there are water restrictions in place and which days & hours he can legally water, that it's illegal to set off fireworks in his back yard, etc etc.  Good luck girl, you & Bruce are going to need it!

Jack, I couldn't agree with you more, we need the military to be strong and large, these cuts are not a good idea. We haven't been free for all these years by negotiations, it's because of our military, the best in the world.

EXCUSE ME!  At a time when so many in the world wish us harm this administration has decided to reduce the Army to pre-WW II levels and mothball the A10 Warthog airplane(the BEST ground support aircraft ever). And reduce the number of active Navy ships. With this "downsizing" comes base closings. Has anybody thought what this will do to the economy? One hundred thousand plus people without jobs. Plus all the non-military people who worked on the bases, plus the loss of many of the small businesses outside the bases. The cleaners, laundry's, all types of stores, etc. What will these people do? Go on unemployment and then welfare and Medicaid. With all that is happening in the world and the state of our economy I can not think of a worse time to do this. Is it better for all these people to have jobs and provide needed services or on the dole?    Sorry folks. I had to get that off my chest.

I think I should invite you guys over to see my RV....1st - we take a car with us and do not cook unless we want to.  We sleep in our own beds not a hotel wondering who slept there before....we have a really great fireplace.  We drive as long as we want to and then stop and put our slides out and have a lot of space.  Kick back with a glass of wine and relax with friends that travel with us. No - it is not a way everyone likes to travel but we do not have anyone checking us for bombs or standing in lines to check-in.  But we do enjoy it.  We do have a lot of friends that would not own an RV if it was given to them and that is great we travel with them also.   We just take the car or go on a cruise or whatever - we just like going RV'ing also

Robert, I will check with my older brother Martin Smith to see if he knew Reagan Turman. Marty was the bear mascot in 1963. He was called the dancing bear. Even today people, especially the class of 1963, talks about how really good he was.
Toni, glad to see a temporary halt to the music.
