When, at 18, I first complained about 'Wasting Time' between loading planes, I was told to always carry a paperback book to pass the time. (way before AirPods) Later in the civilian workforce, I wondered why lunchtime was always so SHORT! Then Douglas Adams explained it to me in his famous...

A House of Dynamite (2025) on Netflix Watched it mostly to see how they handled the detection part of a rogue missle launch. Could see some parallels to the time I spent stationed on a 'First Alert' warning site in Alaska in the 70'. The story is presented with 3 views of the situation...

Probably a vacation to Guam. Would love to show the wife the many places I visited while stationed there in the 70's. Great beaches and people. The real goal would be for her to see it as a place we could move to and finish out our time above ground. Being a Territory of the US, my retirement...

I seen these and more from my inclusion into the Dementia Study I'm in. Students at the University studing Dementia/Alzheimer's will summit questions and 'Tests' for me to work on. This all started with some questions my doctor asked about my families Dementia history. He asked me if I would be...

Setting my 'wayback time machine' to my very young days. Every afternoon after school, my brothers and I would watch a show called 'Captain Honolulu', hosted by Bob Smith. Just your normal, local kids show with cartoons and such. He wore a flight suit and always ended his show with the 'finger...

In keeping with my saying, "I never met a Pie I didn't Like" (some are just better than others), I've never really had a bad vacation. I have been warned I wouldn't like certain places, but the ones on that list turned out ok. Sure, there are things that didn't go right, but we just considered...

When I first heard 'Jammin' by Bob Marley, I thought he was saying 'Pajama'. Strange thing to sing about, I wondered. Told my son, he laughed and said I was getting old...

When we moved to a new place while growing up, tried real hard to fit in, but it never really happened. You're dropped into places that already have groups; kids who've known each other for years. After a while, it finally sunk-in that we would be moving again soon, so I just quit trying to fit...

Looking back in time, I don't really have a favorite War or Anti-War Song. Since I participated in 2 Wars, (3 if you count the 21 years I spent involved in the 'Cold War'), I can somewhat understand both sides of the coin. I've tried to judge songs on how they are structured and if they are a...

Doc Watson with some of Country's biggest stars: Ricky Scaggs, Jerry Douglas, Earl Scruggs, etc.

Mostly I start my day off watching CNBC to get a look at whats happening around the world that affects the world markets. Not for any pricing info about stocks, just seems to give me an insight into what might be coming down the road... I use my phone to access a local news outlet thus...

I've had AT&T cell service for about 8 years and haven't had any serious problems with them. Recently I decided it was time for a new phone since mine was not allowing some apps to work and battery life very short. Found a deal on a locked to AT&T network phone I liked, so ordered it. When it...

Another thing I forgot to mention was if you shipped a US built car over, you could ship a car back when you rotated. To comply with the MOT rules, you would have to change things like headlights and signal devices. Had friends who shipped a US built car over, sold it and then shipped back a...
