My last cross country drive was in 2005 and I was moving back to my hometown of Houston. I had been gone since 1982 living in 3 states. 11 years prior to moving back that drive going west was still tolerable but the drive back was totally different and I could not believe the traffic in that...

Glad you made it thru that maze. On top of that hope you recover from the cold and feel 100 percent. I don't drive much but only 1 city block to shop or go to the PO and another about 3 city blocks to shop. That's all I can handle with all the tailgaters in a hurry to go NO WHERE.

It depends on a person's age. An example , older people start having collapsed vertebra in their neck. It is known to cause all upper body false pains. The vertebra rub against the spinal sack leading to the brain and down into the lower extremities. I have a very severe case of the same...

Welcome to the forums. I feed and care for about 14 to 16 of the beautiful creatures. I have known one friend from San Jose. He was a supply clerk in 1968 in RVN. He along with his entire family had been born there in San Jose. He had an older sister Rosie and she sent me a Christmas gift...

I was at Soc Trang AAF. Can Tho was our Bn Hq in 1968. Soc Trang was unusual in that it had 7 canals connecting and meeting in the center of Soc Trang, the smells there weren't quite like a perfume :D

Midway Island Pacific. My flight was headed to San Diego and I was on leave for Christmas. Nothing there but a chapel a PX and fuel for Military and commercial air traffic. All those gun emplacements of WW II were all out under water and coral reef had formed on all. One large Naval...

I never noticed any groups until my Army time and it came from the draftees from eastern states mostly. The potheads as they were called were huge in number in 68 and most commanders just gave up on disciplining any. Not many in Aviation but our attached units brought in a lot of them. I...

I never ran into anyone that was even thinking about Vietnam. I started working my 3rd day home 1970 and it was 4 years later I worked with a Marine vet so that was the only conversation I remember even talking about the war. I had people I flew with living in the same little town I lived in...

I believe auto insurance was optional that far back., mandatory would come late 80s. I'm sure manufacturers and lien holders might require it but all the new vehicles I purchased did not require any. At one time my wife and I had two new vehicles and still no insurance was required. I...
