I thought I knew her. I've been a fan since the first time I saw the Stone Poneys. My wife and I have seen her maybe 7 times in concert since then. Amazing voice. She really looks different in that photo with the MG. |

Never seen her in concert but always loved her, her wonderful voice and sexy girl-next-door good looks. Was definitely a crush of mine. |

....when you can read this and fully understand and identify with it. So true!
Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today, I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look. I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it. When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat" I just say, "No, it's for company!" Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance." The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL. The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble. Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs" Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved. Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable. Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. May you always have: Love to share, Cash to spare, Tires with air, And friends who care. |

^^^^True. Wifey's 2006 Civic is still in great shape after 17 years. But it only has 47k miles on it. I used to do that much in a year when I worked an hour north of home. Rough mileage is a killer.
I have a pic of my father when he was 10 years younger than I am now. He looked 10 years older than I do now. Dad had a rough life and it showed.

I can't remember if cmyx6go evil twin already went back in the closet Sundy morning, or she hangs out until the official start of Spring.

So far, March has been a colder month than February. I got outside to ride a lot in February. So far, just once in March.

Daughter's birthday was yesterday. She turned 41. Seems like she was just a little girl and time goes by and you don't even know it. Been married 47 years but my daughter is the love of my life.

Saturday I had to check up on the Three Sisters because they snuck into my backyard, were raiding the chicken coop, avocado trees, and vegetable garden. I was arguing with my wife whether this one particular branch on the big tree will survive, it's really starting to block my southern exposure in El Palacio del Sol. You flashed thru my head, that you might be smiling on Sunday. You're about the only other person I know of who enjoys sitting in the sun with reading materials.

When the car next of you is a full of young guys, windows down, car stationary bouncing off the rev limiter at the traffic lights, stereo blairing and they are grooving to the music and waving away because they’ve caught your attention.
You sit there and think…. That would have been me and my mates 37 years earlier. |

Man of honor!
![]() It's heartwarming when they wave and make thumbsup to you and you react that way back with a smile! Like strangers trapped in an uncomfortable crowd recognizing each other as same-thinking. As a side effect, those gestures may often take some reckless driving attitudes off from them on their further journey (at least for this day, LOL). Pathetic, yeah, but driving a car with such kind of emotions isn't the worst way to safely share the street with others. ![]()

We used to race on this dirt road through the woods in cars with all metal dashboards and no seat belts. We never would have survived if we had struck one of those many trees. I'm sometimes amazed that I survived my teens.

Tell me about it. Mate and I brought and old Humber 80 for $50 for a demolition derby car. Before the demo derby where it lasted less than a lap we took to around a south cost which is really a 4wd road. Fuel pump had died so we had a coke bottle hanging of the rear view mirror full of petrol and a tube running to the carberutor . If you squeezed the bottle a little bit we could get more RPM out of the engine. When it ran out we’d just refill it with a petrol can. We drove about 3-4 miles before getting the car beached and almost going over a bank. I jumped from the vehicle thinking it was going to roll over. To make matters worse my mate was smoking . Nothing happened . Managed to get the car unstuck. But it’s amazing the dumb stuff we did as young lads. Kinda Darwin awards material. |

Some 30 years ago I had a sobering experience on this subject: I had a older paving guy at my house for a quote and he had a younger man in his truck with him. He explained that his son had been paralyzed in a motorcycle accident years before and now he took his son with him on jobs just to get him out of the house. It made me realize that, sure enough, there were some of us that did NOT survive the stupid years intact. Thank our lucky stars!
