Thanks all.
1. thank you to anyone past and present who has defended my freedom. I am so thankful to be here and do what I do because someone -- and in 99.99 % of all cases it was somone I didn't know, put their life on the line for our freedoms.
2. Quick Ba story. Yes, I blogged about him earlier, but one quick Ba story. If you want more-- ask me offline. we all have tons. Love that guy. So Ba again had MD and he would dog on me at times for being tubby. H e saw what he couldn't do and thought I should be healthier. I thought at times Ba milked it for the crowds. So we would have bets. one of the better ones was us racing from Glenda's kitchen at 1314 s. 13th ave E. to the tap which was about the 20th block of 1st ave. About a mile away. he had to get up and get to his chief Cherokee and drive there. I had to run.
Amazing how fast Ba was. and resourceful. he scooted to his vehicle and beat me. soundly. At best I was 1/2 mile a way.
Oh well. drinks were on me.
3. boobs. lets talk Twin Peaks in DSM. service was awful. Girls with attitudes wearing bikini tops essentially. Green chile parmesan wings were good. I sat by 3 strangers who liked me because I used Luis Aparicio and Tom Niedenfuer in the same sentence. made some new friends.
4. more freedom. There are some people out there that think a more socialistic approach is needed. things need to be spread evenly for all. Fundamentally I disagree. I am old school. In 94, I spent a few weeks which included my 22nd birthday, homeless. I camped at Mariposa for the most part and spent a couple nights at friends.
I would not have made it if it wasn't for capitalism. Or pulling myself up from my bootstrings. Or remembering that people fought for our freedom. They were in strange lands fighting for us. Life isn't perfect.But we make due. Work hard. treat people fair. Try to do the right thing.
So again. Thank you to our troops. I appreciate it.
