Well, I remember when they changed the Pledge of Allegiance. They added, "under God", and made sure we added that from then on.

Then took it out of schools for the same reason.

That was a year and three months before I was hatched.

Seventh grade.

Jeebus. I AM old. Doan get me wrong -- I may have claimed that when I joined up they gimme a smoothbore gun with a rock on the side to make sparks.

Nossir. I got a breech-loading, rifled beauty offa Brit I offed:

But get this for really odd stuff: I had an "I Like Ike" button, and can remember the campaign. Adlai Stevenson said, "Don't elect a general."

That went over like Komodo puke: Ike was wildly popular for his WWII record, and other people picked up on it and said: "How do you feel about George Washington, Mr. Stevenson?

So Ike got elected President in 1953. Later on, he was for a short time, my Commander-in-Chief. <-- TINS

I'd rather see a pic of your "Free Sacco and Vanzetti" shirt!

Thought you qualified with a matchlock?

Hey! By dis time, you oughta not try to call and raise Hisself in the Ancient Department.

You wanna see a picture of Himself with a beautiful wheellock musket made in France for a Russian prince in 1629, but sold/delivered instead to my 12-times Grampa?

For the fargin record, that is Himself in the pic below. The folks at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam actually shut the place down when Beauty Witch and Your Humble Obdn't &tc told them I was there to do research on my 11-times grampa. You'd think I was the Prodigal Son returning. They treated us like rock stars.

That is a 17th century A'dam Militia outfit they put me in, then dusted my hands (they all wore white gloves) and handed me my GGGGGGGGGGGrampa Jan's beautiful gun. I got fargin chills!

Then they tooken a pic of me. So, yeah, sorta. I can predate the Revolution by a century and a half...

Good morning

Unca , I never get tired of hearing about your life , thanks for sharing

we are moving slowly this morning , moving being the key word here

Swede and I are thinking of taking a week or 10 days off in December , maybe go to the beach in Florida somewhere and just lay n the beach and soak up some sunshine

we are for sure going down to Tucson to see my 88 year old sister whom I have not seen in 35 years and then up to Idaho to see my 75 year old brother whom I have not seen in 25 years

Morning. Bad mania attack yesterday so I wasn't around much. I suffer from by polar syndrome. I rarely get attacks anymore but it kicked my arise yesterday. I refuse to take meds for this because of the side effects. It puts me in a terrible frame of mind and I am better off if I stay by myself until the depression passes. Better today.

Glad you're feeling better brother!

Morning OFC. My neighbor two doors down passed from covid last night. Sad to hear. He was 85 and fully vaccinated. I need to find out information on the funeral and pay my respects.

Good to hear Big this morning ..... I worry about you bro. This old world has become a strange place. Make the best of every day.

13 fargin degrees this morning....one good thing I don't have to worry about spider mites for a few months. Other than that the cold sucks. I hate the dark days the most. Hard to get used to.

Breakfast time.

Reminded me that I live in a cool hood. I left a 20L Wavian gas can with over five gallons of liquid gold in an unlocked van for a week 'cause I forgot where I put it. Still there when I figured it out. Damn cans alone are goin' for $75.
