You reminded me of an old story. Back in the early 80's, I worked for a petroleum company as an environmental engineer. They sent me to Grants New Mexico to their uranium mine, to do an inspection, and also as an orientation/familiarization visit. I decided right off, that the miners would...

I took my little monthly check to the bank, like I had been doing for years. the regular cashiers all knew me on sight. The cashier that day was new, and we had never seen each other before. When I asked her to cash the check, she said: "You got any I.D.?" I looked at her and said: " 'Bout...

Happy wife, more children!

She looks like she's been beat with an ugly stick...her nose is crooked as a dog's hind leg; and a fat hog could run between those bow legs of hers. She's so dumb she couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie.

Come August, Sharn Jean and I will have been married 62 years. We've had our problems, but I think I'll keep her now. The only advice I can give, is life is tenuous if you don't put the relationship and the family first...both of you. You will have to give up some things, sometimes big...

I bought a new Weber about 1968 from a distressed goods outlet; used it about 50 years until the legs rusted and fell off. It was simple, worked good...better that the newer models with the butterfly vent and ash catcher.

First trip to Las Vegas; put a quarter in a slot machine and got something like $50 back first pull. Should have quit there; 'nuff said.

Nineteen children, plus an unborn baby, were killed in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Fifteen of the children killed were attendees of America's Kids day care center, while four others were elsewhere in the building. Plus...149 others.

This lady is my wife's relative. She has since passed. https://www.facebook.com/seniormovingcompany/posts/today-is-national-rosie-the-riveter-day-i-would-like-to-honor-a-close-family-fri/985293528326489/

Right after the Murrah bombing, in 1995, the state bought the old Bell Telephone building, just two buildings to the North. They moved the newly formed DEQ into it; I could look out the South window and see the bomb site. One day I decided to walk down town for lunch; when I walked past the...
