WE WENT TO TOWN TODAY, DID SOME BANKING FOR SHANNON THEN WENT TO LUNCH AT THE OLD BUILDING THAT JOHNNY BRESHEARS HAD HIS JEWELRY STORE IN THAT WAS NEXT TO THE OLD STATE THEATER THAT WE CONVERTED INTO THE “STARDUST BALLROOM”. AFTER LUNCH I WENT NEXT DOOR AND LOOKED AT WHAT THE PEOPLE DID TO THE BUILDING, NEW ROOF, NEW CONCRETE FLOOR, AND STORAGE FOR THEIR WINE MAKING   SUPPLIES! THEY HAVE WINE TASTING GET TOGETHERS OCCASSIONALY! IT SURE BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES, I’M GOING TO GET KERRY TO SEND ME THE PICTURES AND THINGS HE HAS OF THE “STARDUST” SO WE CAN MAKE COPIES AND GIVE THEM TO THE NEW OWNER TO BE PUT UP IN THE RESTAURANT! WHEN WE LEFT THERE WE HEADED OUT TO CHARLEEN LATINIS TO TAKE SOME COMPUTER WORK MOM HAD DONE FOR THEM AND PICK UP SOME BRATWERST (GERMAN SAUSAGE)! GARY’S BACK OUT ON THE ROAD BUT WILL BE HOME THIS FRIDAY!

 

KELLY STAYED HOME TODAY, HE TOLD MOM HE JUST FELT LIKE CRAP! I PICKED UP THE PAINT TO DO THE PIECE TIM BROKE THAT GOES UNDER THE WIPERS WHILE WORKING ON THE INTREPID!

 

I WATCHED TWO GOOD MOVIES LAST WEEK; “DAWN PATROL and FLYBOYS” THEY’RE BOTH ABOUT AERIAL COMBAT DURING WWI! THE AERIAL COMBAT SCENES IN DAWN PATROL WERE DONE WITH REAL AIRPLANES USING CAMERAS MOUNTED ON OTHER AIRPLANES, FANTASTIC! IN FLYBOYS, SOME OF THE AERIAL COMBAT SCENES ARE COMPUTER GENERATED BUT SOME ARE ACTUAL PICTURES TAKEN FROM OTHER AIRPLANES. THE GERMAN AIRCRAFT WERE ALL FOKKER DR;1 TRI-PLANES! THE FRENCH AIRCRAFT WERE NEUPORT 17s! BOTH MOVIES SHOW THE USE OF THE FIGHTER PLANE EXCLUSIVELY! THERE WERE SOME BIG BOMBER SHOWN BUT ONLY WHEN THE FIGHTERS ARE SENT TO ESCORT THEM OVER A TARGET! VERY GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS AND SCENES SHOWING SOME OF THE THINGS THE PILOTS WENT THROUGH IN THE DOG FIGHT SCENES! THEY DIDN’T HAVE PARACHUTES SO IF YOU GOT SET A FIRE YOU EITHER RODE IT DOWN BURNING OR JUMPED WHICH WAS SURE DEATH! IN ONE SCENE THEY HANDED ONE OF THE NEW PILOTS A PISTOL, WHEN HE ASK WHAT IT WAS FOR THEY TOLD HIM HE COULD USE IT ON HIMSELF RATHER THAN BURN TO DEATH; LATER IN THE MOVIE HE HAS TO USE IT! FROM WHAT I CAN FIND OUT THE MILITARY EXPERIMENTED WITH THE “PACKED” PARACHUTE IN 1920! IN 1922 TWO NEWSPAPER REPORTERS SUGGESTED THE FORMING OF “THE CATAPILLER CLUB” FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THEIR AIRPLANE AND WALKED BACK TO THEIR BASE! IT’S A VERY EXCLUSIVE CLUB!

 

LIFE IS BACKWARDS

THE MOST UNFAIR THING ABOUT LIFE IS THE WAY IT ENDS.

LIFE IS TOUGH. IT TAKES UP A LOT OF YOUR TIME. WHAT DO YOU GET AT THE END OF IT? A DEATH. I THINK THE LIFE CYCLE IS ALL BACKWARDS.

YOU SHOULD DIE FIRST, GET IT OUT OF THE WAY. THEN YOU LIVE IN AN OLD AGE HOME. YOU GET KICKED OUT WHEN YOU'RE TOO YOUNG, YOU GET A GOLD WATCH, YOU GO TO WORK.

YOU WORK FORTY YEARS UNTIL YOU'RE YOUNG ENOUGH TO ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT. YOU DO DRUGS, ALCOHOL, YOU PARTY, YOU GET READY FOR HIGH SCHOOL.

YOU GO TO GRADE SCHOOL, YOU BECOME A KID, YOU PLAY, YOU HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITIES, YOU BECOME A LITTLE BABY, YOU GO BACK INTO THE WOMB THEN SPEND YOUR LAST NINE MONTHS FLOATING!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
