Happenings fun times

I recall a time in my life when everything was going great, not that it isn't great now, but the time was Nov 1968 and I had just got home from a tour in Vietnam. I had not been on the boat that year, so Dad knowing this left his boat in the water and we went up for a ride. Now to say that it was cold was to say the least. Apparently Gore had not mentioned global warming!

We went out on the lake for about an hour that is about all I could take. The next weekend, the boat was pulled but not before we shoveled the snow out of it.

Life was good back then, Life can be good today as well.

That is a pretty sweet memory! Must bring a smile to your face every time you think of it.

John, to be clear, Al Gore invented the Internet and Global Warming!

Thank you for your service in Vietnam
